Tourism EXPO JAPAN 2024
A miniature garden city from the middle ages built around the onomichi channel
Welcome to the Heart of Japan.
Just imagine it; the scenery of a city where people live and work by the sea, which flows like a single river. That sea called the Onomichi Channel, and that scenery is the microcosm of life in Japan.
Since the port opened in the Middle Ages, Onomichi has flourished as a port town where people, things, and assets gathered. Temples, shrines, and houses, connected by hilly roads and alleyways, filled the limited space between the Onomichi Channel and the three surrounding mountains, creating a view that looks like a "miniature garden." The scenery of that miniature garden changes depending on which of the stories that shape this town you focus on. It may be a projection of the longing for the past you feel in your heart. It may be like a bonsai version of Japan that people from overseas have imagined.
And before you know it, this town will make you feel something unique, too. Come see what Onomichi, a part of Japan Heritage, makes you feel.
