About this activity

Stepping off your cruise ship or train and want to discover the charm of Onomichi? This private tour is perfect for you! With a government-licensed guide and a private vehicle, exploring this hillside port town has never been easier.

Onomichi is one of the Seto Inland Sea's most atmospheric towns, famous for its steep temple-dotted slopes and sweeping sea views. Ride the ropeway up to Senkoji Park for panoramic vistas, wander the whimsical "Path of Cats," and visit historic temples such as Saikokuji and Tenneiji. Stroll the retro shopping arcade, admire the Tadao Ando-designed City Museum of Art, and discover the town's role in Japanese cinema before crossing to Mukaishima island and the Shimanami Kaido.
