Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

This Fuchu is the town in Hiroshima’s Aki district, with gorge walks and shrine history near Hiroshima city. Distinguish it from Fuchu City in the same prefecture and Fuchu in Tokyo; plan transport between the park and shrine separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

The approach to Mikumari Gorge Forest Park in 201201

A first-visit stop

Mikumari Gorge Forest Park

水分峡森林公園

Explore gorge and forest paths. The 2012 photo shows the park approach, rather than the entire gorge. Check paths, temporary closures and access rules; swimming, fishing and collecting plants or animals are prohibited.

Getting there
Check buses from Hiroshima Station towards Fuchu-Yamada and Mikumari-kyo Iriguchi, then the walking approach and return services.

A first-visit stop

Take Shrine

多家神社

A historical shrine known locally as Enomiya-san. The 2019 photo shows the worship hall and approach, rather than the treasure store’s interior. Respect worship, photography and protected-building arrangements.

Getting there
Locate the shrine entrance in Miyanocho on the official map, separately from the park journey.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Town guidance introduces traditional Aki-Fuchu shiro soba. Check actual ingredients, allergens including buckwheat and availability. It differs from Fuchu City’s Fuchu-yaki; no particular shop or current price is guaranteed.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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.
