Activitate Fukuyama, Japan
This is the ideal tour for travelers who want to discover Tomonoura, one of the most beautifully preserved port towns on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, in comfort and at their own pace. Travelling by private vehicle with your own government-licensed guide, you skip the stress of timetables and crowds.
Tomonoura flourished for centuries as a tide-waiting port where sailing ships paused for the changing currents. That history is still written into its narrow lanes, wooden merchant houses and the iconic Joyato stone lighthouse. Your guide brings the streets to life with tales of sea trade, the medicinal liquor homeishu and the revolutionary Sakamoto Ryoma, whose ship sank just offshore.
From the cliff-top hall of Fukuzenji to the serene Nunakuma Shrine, the nature trails of Sensuijima and the dramatic Abuto Kannon above the sea, you enjoy the landscapes that inspired artists and film-makers, a relaxed yet immersive window into one of Japan's hidden coastal treasures.

Joyato Stone Lighthouse
15 min
The Joyato is a 5.5-meter stone lighthouse built in 1859 and the enduring symbol of Tomonoura harbor. One of the largest surviving Edo-period lighthouses in Japan, it stands beside the old stone wharf where you can picture the bustling port that once welcomed ships waiting for the tide on the Seto Inland Sea.
Fukuzen-ji Temple
20 min Intrarea nu este inclusă
Fukuzenji Temple is best known for Taichoro, an Edo-period reception hall built in 1690. From its tatami rooms you look out over the Seto Inland Sea and the small islands of Bentenjima and Sensuijima, a panorama that visiting Korean envoys praised as the most beautiful scenery east of Korea.
Irohamaru Exhibition Building
20 min Intrarea nu este inclusă
The Irohamaru Exhibition Hall tells the story of the Iroha Maru, the steamship leased by Sakamoto Ryoma's trading company that collided with a Kishu domain vessel and sank off Tomonoura in 1867. Housed in a former warehouse, it displays artifacts raised from the wreck and recounts Japan's first maritime insurance dispute, which Ryoma negotiated here.
Tomonoura Museum of History and Folklore
20 min Intrarea nu este inclusă
Set on a hillside above the harbor, this small museum occupies the site of Tomonoura's former castle and offers the finest panoramic view over the port, the Joyato lighthouse and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. Inside, exhibits introduce the town's history of sea trade, tai (sea bream) fishing and the medicinal liquor homeishu.
Nunakuma Shrine
15 min
Nunakuma Shrine is an ancient Shinto shrine watching over Tomonoura, dedicated to deities of seafaring and protection. Its highlight is a Noh stage said to have been donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and later reassembled here, one of the oldest surviving Noh stages in Japan, set among quiet stone steps and old cedar trees.
Fukuyama Castle
30 min
Standing right beside Fukuyama Station, Fukuyama Castle was completed in 1622 by Mizuno Katsunari and is one of Japan's finest examples of an early-Edo castle. Its reconstructed keep houses a museum on the castle town's history, while the grounds preserve original turrets and the distinctive iron-clad north wall, a rare defensive feature.
Abuto Kannon (Bandai-ji Temple Kannondo)
20 min
Abuto Kannon is a striking vermilion temple hall belonging to Bandaiji, perched dramatically on a rocky cliff above the Seto Inland Sea. Built in the late 16th century, it has long been visited by sailors and expectant mothers praying for safe voyages and easy childbirth, and offers one of the most photographed sea views in the region.
Oprirea 8
30 min
Sensuijima is a small uninhabited island a five-minute ferry ride from Tomonoura, part of the Setonaikai National Park. A flat coastal trail leads past colourful banded rocks, secluded beaches and sweeping views of the Inland Sea, making it a refreshing nature stop steeped in local legend about immortals who lost themselves in its beauty.
Please note that the round-trip ferry fare (a few hundred yen) is not included in the tour price.
