Quaint fishing town with a charming old downtown area. Best feature are the friendly and somewhat quirky local shop owners. Worth visiting for a day trip if you ever find yourself in the vicinity.

水曜だったので、空いてるお店は少なかったですがドラマや映画のロケ地でもあり、おーーー！と思う事がたくさんありました！画像のお寺で、千手観音様のひもに一生懸命悩んでる事のお祈りをすると、なんと、直後に朗報の電話が！！！このご利益にはびっくりしました。一人旅でも楽しめそうです

鞆の浦を含む周辺地域は、1934年に国立公園として初めて指定された地域になります。記念切手も発行されています。江戸時代の港湾施設が残る港は、この鞆の浦だけだそうです。宮崎映画のひとつ「崖の上のポニョ」のモデル地になったと言われ最近では2015年の流星ワゴンというテレビドラマのロケ地にもなりました。　昭和の匂いが沢山残っている町です。

Including the tomonoura area in 1934, first designated as a national park area. Commemorative stamps are issued. Just seems this tomonoura port of port facility during the Edo period remain.　Said Miyazaki movie one model of "Ponyo on the cliff" and, recently, also became a filming location for the TV series a Meteor wagon by the year 2015. It is a town have left a lot of smell of the Showa era.
