[Main Part]

So far, I have covered most of the major tourist spots in Onomichi. Then, I will post casual snaps in this article and the next article.

Onomichi station

Onomici stations is a gateway to Onomichi. I took several photos around Onomichi station when I arrived at or left Onomichi.

Station building of Onomichi station.

You can see Onomichi castle over there.

I just happened to see an electric locomotive.

Talking of Onomichi, Onomichi Ramen is one of the local favorite cuisine. So I had it near Onomichi station, when I arrived at or left Onomichi.

“Sakuraya”, which I stopped by when I arrived at Onomichi.

“Tani”, I stopped by as last supper when I left Onomichi.

Gaudi House

This old house is called “Gaudi House”. A local non-profit organization has dveloped a project to revive the vacant house. Now the Gaudi House is famous for filming location.

Slopes

“Slope” is one of the key words which characterize Onomichi. There are many picturesque slopes around Onomichi and I took photos over two days.

To begin with, Senkoji street. The street is often used for drama or movie location. I walked around the street on the first day.

On the second day, I took many snaps of slopes while I strolled around temples and shrines.

Onomichi Movie Archives

As I have mentioned several times, Onomichi is often used for filming location. “Onomichi Movie Archives” is a movie museum that show movie pictures, old film projectors and movie posters.

That’s it for the article about Onomichi station, Gaudi House, slopes and Onomichi Movie Archives as a series of the travel to Onomichi. In the next article, I will write about shopping district and seafront street in Onomichi, as the series final.
