Chugoku - history and surprising landscapes
The Chugoku Region is located in the western part of Japan’s main island, Honshu.
Together with some very famous destinations, the region also hosts some hidden gems, places that you would never guess could be found in Japan, such as the high sand dunes along the Sea of Japan coast. Other natural gems are scattered around the region and their variety is just amazing: fields of flowers, waterfalls, coasts, trekking routes…And yet, Chugoku also offers plenty of cultural activities. For its recent history, Hiroshima is by far one of the most visited cities in the region, whereas other cities will show you the most tranquil and picturesque side of the region, among the highlights: one of the most beautiful gardens of Japan and the shrine dedicated to the god that creates all the connections and ties that we make during our lifetime.
