Setouchi Area Pass

West-Japan 

De JR West Setouchi Area Pass geeft u de mogelijkheid alle belangrijkste steden rond de Japanse Binnenzee te ontdekken.

Met deze pass hebt u toegang tot de Korakuen-tuinen in Okayama vanuit Osaka, een van de drie mooiste tuinen van Japan, een pracht van licht en kleur.

Breng een bezoek aan Hiroshima, opgeknapt na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, met het grote Vredespark, het gerestaureerde Kasteel en Shukkei en tuinen. Niet ver van Hiroshima hebben we Miyajima, waar u de beroemde torii van het Itsukushima-shrijn kunt bewonderen, een UNESCO-Werelderfgoed.

De stad Fukuoka verrast u met zijn originele cultuur; de haven, gelegen tegenover Korea, was het middelpunt van de eerste uitwisselingen tussen Japan en het vasteland. Een charmante mengeling van stedelijkheid en traditie, een historisch oord dat beslist een bezoek waard is.

Of verken het Noorden van het Eiland Shikoku: Matsuyama en de Dogo Onsen, waarschijnlijk de oudste warmwaterbron van Japan en Takamatsu ten noordoosten van Shikoku waar Ritsurin, waar een van de mooiste Japanese tuinen gelegen is.

Treasures along the inland shores

Japan, being an island nation, is defined by its waters and not just by the oceans that surround it from all sides. The Setouchi Inland Sea occupies area between the major islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and the upper portion of Kyushu, making it a varied and culture-rich region. Delicious seafood, unique bounty of agriculture, and gorgeous scenery from the cities to the countryside are major draws of Setouchi, a beloved destination for domestic travelers as well as those coming from abroad.
