Higashihiroshima City, located east of Hiroshima City, is a historic city hosting “Saijo,” one of Japan’s leading sake producing areas, while also serving as an academic city with many universities and research institutions. Its major charm is the “Sake Brewery Street” around JR Saijo Station, where you can savor top-quality Japanese sake amidst beautiful scenery lined with red-brick chimneys and Namako-kabe walls. Furthermore, the northern part of the city features beautiful gorges and rural landscapes, while the southern part offers the calm Seto Inland Sea scenery of the Akitsu district, perfectly merging mountains, sea, tradition, and modernity. It is a rich area that satisfies both intellectual curiosity and appetite through traditional festivals, delicious local gourmet, and warm people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
