Takehara Historical Townscape Sake Tasting & Rabbit Island

Located within Hiroshima prefecture, Takehara is a charming and beautiful city on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.

Today, many buildings dating as far back as the Edo period can still be found in the city, preserved in such a way that one can feel as though they are walking through streets in the past. With its tranquil atmosphere and old-fashioned structures, it is no wonder Takehara is also known to many as the “Little Kyoto” of Aki.
