Tomonoura, located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a historic port town within Setonaikai National Park. Since ancient times, it has been an important base for navigation in the Seto Inland Sea (a port for waiting for the tides).
Due to the complex currents, ancient ships often docked here, gradually developing a prosperous port town culture.
The port still retains Edo-period townhouses and temples, as well as the iconic "Nonyato" stone lantern (Figure 3), creating a nostalgic and tranquil atmosphere. The area has also been a stopover for historical figures such as Kibi Makibi and Sakamoto Ryoma, and has been used as a filming location for numerous films and television series.
Access
