Hi, I’m Tabi!

Onomichi offers Hiroshima’s channel, hills and temples. Start around Senkoji hill; there is no need to combine the city and islands into a single day’s walk.

This guide covers places within Onomichi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose the hilltop view or temple first. Check walking slopes and steps or current ropeway operation and plan your return. The photographed view is not guaranteed in every weather condition.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
