Shimanami Kaido Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot (Hakatajima/Kaizan Park)
The approximately 70 km stretch of Shimanami Kaido that connects Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture and Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture via the Nishiseto Expressway is a beautiful spring landscape with a beautiful contrast between Shimanami Blue and cherry blossom color from early to mid-April every year. Enjoy this encounter that is only available for 1 to 2 weeks.
The observation deck, which offers a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea and the three bridges of Hakata-Oshima Bridge, Omishima Bridge, and Tatara Bridge, is also attractive when lit up at night.
Oshima/Keiyama Observation Deck
10 minutes by car from Oshimakita IC from Onomichi direction
Oshima, Imabari City is famous for the Oshima stone quarry and the ruins of Noshima Castle, the home of the Noshima Murakami family, a Japanese heritage site known as the Murakami Pirates. When you climb up the observation deck, this spectacular view is right in front of you. In fact, Noshima was also known locally as ``Sakura no Shima'' for many years. Unfortunately, it will be cut down in 2022-23 to protect cultural properties. (As many as 250 cherry blossoms were in full bloom on the flat land, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and Honmaru.) I hope this site will be used for future preservation and utilization.
Landing and tidal cruises departing from the Murakami Kaizoku Museum and the Noshima Navy are also highlights.
At Kareyama Observation Park, there is Tomi Chaya, which is run by a local NPO. Normal business hours are Saturdays and Sundays only. 10:00-16:00
