Overview

The town of Miyoshi in Hiroshima prefecture sits right in the middle of western Honshū. Three rivers flow together here, making it a centre for transport and commerce with a long history. Abundant water and its unique microclimate make Miyoshi ideal for producing rice and fruit, which form the basis of a rich food and beverage culture. The highly accessible rivers and mountains make Miyoshi a great base for adventure, whether rafting, kayaking, cycling, hiking, or fishing. In addition to its outdoor and culinary attractions, Miyoshi has a fascinating culture based on monsters that swarm around in the nightly fog from the rivers. Another attraction is the cormorant fishing that’s persisted for over a thousand years. Our three-day tour gives you an intensive taste of each of these attractions, showing you a side of Hiroshima rarely experienced by visitors to this region.
