Looking for the filming location of Hayao Miyazaki's 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea'? If you love exploring both mountains and the sea as much as I do, then you shouldn't miss a half-day sea kayaking tour. My trip to Hiroshima was quite spontaneous, and I decided to make it an in-depth exploration. I started in Hiroshima, spent a day in Onomichi, and then drove for about an hour to Utsunoura and Sensuijima Island in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima. Our instructor, Yasu, was a super nice elderly gentleman. He was very professional and used his limited English to tell us about the area. He even took photos from different angles, which was very professional. He also provided super cold drinks and snacks. In the end, we exchanged contact information, and he said he'd let us take him kayaking when he visits Hong Kong! It was also thanks to kayaking that I got to see such a beautiful and unique temple. Kayaking experience: Abuto Kannon is a very famous seaside temple in Japan, facing the Seto Inland Sea, with very iconic scenery. (It's believed to bless safe voyages, fertility, and smooth childbirth.) We spent the whole morning kayaking and were on a tight schedule, so we didn't spend too much time exploring other places. But next time I visit, I'll definitely go again and also explore Kurashiki in Okayama!
I had THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIME!! The views and the guide were unbelievable! I did get attacked (jumped into) by a mullet but honestly funniest part of the tour 🤣
I had amazing time. Tour guide was fantastic and show me lots of interesting places as well as gived some recommendations. I will definitely repeat it and do full day if I ever get a chance.
Couldn't recommend this tour more! Yasu was an amazing and friendly guide. We were a bit unsure as to what the weather would bring as we booked for the middle of winter. However, Yasu was really prepared. He gave us plenty of waterproof gear so we couldn't feel a even a splash of water. The weather ended up being beautiful. The water was so calm and the sun was shining. Yasu even provided us with a little lunchbox full of snacks to eat on the journey. The spots we saw were spectacular. Yasu took and sent us amazing photos. Couldn't recommend this more!
beautiful views, great tour guide! saw so many interesting sights. stopped for pictures at the temple, and a beach area, the guide provided snacks.
My mother and I had a wonderful time on our half day trip around the beautiful islands! Yasu-san was very kind! very nice experience.
