Akiota Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Waterfalls, swimming holes, rock tunnels, stone bridges, shrines, and more. So much beauty in a spot that is accessible by public transit from Hiroshima City.
Waterfalls, swimming holes, rock tunnels, stone bridges, shrines, and more. So much beauty in a spot that is accessible by public transit from Hiroshima City.
We had the amazing experience of being the guests of the rural village of Akiota. One of the things they gave to us was a hike up this beautiful river gorge during the perfect autumn foliage.
The last stop on our Akiota adventure. The picturesque 400 year old village of Ini.
We were given a tour of Ini by the mayor. He talked to us about what it was like trying to keep this 400 year old rice growing village alive. A hard task when the average age is 65.
