Fukuzen-ji Temple

Reviewed By smsadat - Hiroshima, Japan

This is an old temple with a magnificent view of the sea and you can see the islands by sitting there from its hall. I think this a breathtaking view from its hall for passing some lazy times. There is a small souvenir shop in the temple. We also see a small exhibition of group photographs of the Shoguns at the end of the Tokugawa period. Our guide explains everything in the inside of the temple. This is also used for resting place for Korean correspondent during the Edo period, as per I remember from my guide.

Tomo no Ura

Reviewed By MatthewTheCatthew - Fukuyama, Japan

Brilliant, absolutely ruddy bloody brilliant. Loved every second of a day out to Tomonoura with my missus, my new young baby and his aunt who’s come to visit. Here are some things YOU MUST DO: 1:Go to every Yomeishu brewery (4 in total) Yomeishu (Traditionally spiced herbal Sake that you can get NO WHERE ELSE in Japan and is exquisite) will be given freely in liberal samples and is so cheap for how delicious and alcoholic it it! 2:Take the old traditional Japanese boat that’s been converted into a ferry over to Sensui island and once there (if you visit in summer) have a lovely swim on the beach on the Northside of the island. You can camp on the island too. 3: Try ‘Sea salt flavoured soft serve and Sea salt flavoured candy’ Trust me- absolutely delicious despite sounding odd. Like salted caramel for people with a moderate sweet tooth. Do not, and I repeat, do not be tempted to sample ‘Sardine flavoured ice cream on the mainland’- it is disgusting and the taste will stay in your mouth for days. 4:Take in Tomonoura in all its wonderful historic charm. Just chill. It’s a great place. It costs ¥520 if you catch the bus from platform 5 at the main Fukuyama-shi bus station per adult and take about 25 minutes to get there (and the same amount and time back). Buses run every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 40 on weekends and public holidays. Tomonoura is fantastic. Get smashed on sake and have a great time with the fam!
