Miyajima Kinsui Villa Tourist Hotel

With its white wall tower constructed in Western-influenced Momoyama style, the castle standing atop Mt. Shiroyama, overlooks the winding Nishiki river and the castle town below, with the US Military Base and islands of the Seto Inland Sea in the distance. Surrounding the castle is “Shiroyama Recreational Park”, where you can enjoy strolling in the woods.

This picturesque wooden bridge comprising 5 arches features the traditional technology of wrapping metal bands and hinges to hold the wood together. The bridge spans the Nishiki river, the widest in Yamaguchi Prefecture at 200m.
