Fukuyama

Gateway for All Journeys to the Setouchi Region
As the gateway for all journeys to the Setouchi region, Fukuyama is full of events worth taking time out of your trip to see such as festivals meant to keep ancestral traditions alive along or functions put on by locals to help others see the charms of the region situated in between Osaka and Hiroshima.

Fukuyama Castle is the most famous tourist spot and one of the greatest castle from Edo Period, built in 1619. There are also 500 cherry trees in the castle grounds and thousands come to view the cherry blossoms when they bloom from late March to mid-April. They also light lanterns in the evening, so visitors can enjoy the cherry blossoms after sunset.

Located in the southern part of Fukuyama Station, there is a port town called as Tomonoura, a beautiful spot lying on the Seto Inland Sea National Park. The numerous islands spread out over the quiet waters of the Seto Inland Sea makes a very beautiful scene. Visit temples, historical sites, art museums, the harbor and more and let the port town's endless charms captivate you. Furthermore, in May and October about a large portion of a million roses start to sprout in Fukuyama, this is when the rose festival is celebrated here which is visited by millions of people from all over Japan.
