One of the most unique attractions of Onomichi is the Shimanami Kaido. The route, which passes across bridges and islands of the Seto Inland Sea, is the only land connection between Japan's main island of Honshu and Shikoku that is traversable by cyclists and pedestrians. Along the way there are two particular attractions of interest to visitors: the Hirayama Museum and the unique Kosanji Temple.
Stay at Island Ryokan Tsutsui or similar
The neighboring island of Omishima has even more art establishments. Most visitors to Omishima will be heading for the Oyamazumi Shrine, whose museum has the greatest collection of historical samurai weaponry and armour in the whole of Japan. Just opposite the entrance to the shrine is a rather distinctive A-frame structure, the Omishima Art Museum.
Opened in 1986, the Omishima Art Museum shows a wide range of contemporary Nihonga, Japanese style paintings, of which the museum has already built up a collection of over 1,000 pieces including works by Yukio Umehara, Hatanaka Hikaritoru, Masaru Matsumoto, Shigeki Murata and Chinami Nakajima.
Large scale works by Toshio Tabuchi are on permanent display, but the three other galleries have continuously changing temporary exhibitions, often on seasonal themes. For a provincial museum, the exhibits are of quite a high quality and diversity.
