The Iwakuni area is located on the border between the Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures. It is about a 40-minute train ride from the central part of Hiroshima City, making it easily accessible. The area has a rich history and is home to Iwakuni castle. By the sea-side you will also find an American army base. Another famous tourist attraction is the Kintai Bridge, which was uniquely constructed using a 5- arch design. Many people visit the bridge when they come to Miyajima. Within the city you can find five sake breweries, including the world-famous Japanese sake “Dassai”, from the Asahi Shuzo brewery.
