Hi, I’m Tabi!

Higashihiroshima combines Saijo’s brewery streets with green parks. Begin around Saijo Station and plan separate transport for Kagamiyama Park.

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

Saijo sake-brewery streets

西条酒蔵通り

Streets around Saijo Station with white walls and brewery buildings, pictured in January 2014. These are working breweries: follow visitor-area and photography guidance. You can enjoy the architecture without drinking.

Kagamiyama Park

鏡山公園

A park at the foot of the hill with Kagamiyama Castle ruins. The April 2007 cherry-blossom photo does not promise flowers in other seasons. Distinguish park paths from the castle-ruins approach and check current access.
