Chugoku Region (中国地方)

The Chugoku region is a hidden treasure for nature enthusiasts, history buffs, and avid hikers. While Hiroshima is a popular destination known for its iconic floating shrine and historical significance, it merely serves as a starting point for those venturing into western Japan. Continuing west on the Sanyo Shinkansen opens up opportunities to explore charming coastal towns and embark on island-hopping adventures in the Seto Inland Sea, with further routes leading to Kyushu and Shikoku. For those who prefer venturing inland, the region offers breathtaking peaks like Mt. Daisen, captivating natural landscapes, and exciting discoveries awaiting in Shimane and Tottori.
