Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fukuyama in eastern Hiroshima offers a castle near the station and Tomonoura’s port history. Plan separate transport for the urban castle and coastal temple. Begin with one and check current access.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Fukuyama Castle and Museum

福山城・福山城博物館

Getting there
Check the park approach and museum entrance from JR Fukuyama Station’s north exit.

A first-visit stop

Fukuzenji and Taichoro

福禅寺・対潮楼

A temple and guest hall reflecting Tomonoura’s seascape and exchanges with Korean envoys. The 2008 photo shows the exterior, rather than the guest-room interior or sea view. Check worship, viewing and photography arrangements.

Getting there
Check current transport from Fukuyama Station to Tomonoura and the temple entrance, separately from the castle visit.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

City tourism material introduces sea bream and other seafood in Tomonoura’s food culture. Check species, preparation, allergens and current availability; no local catch for every meal, particular shop or 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.
