I Go To Innoshima Flower Center





The pyrethrum,  Jyochu-Giku in Japanese,  was designated the flower of the former Innoshima City in 1983.
It is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family that grows to about 60cm and blooms with a row of white petals at the end.

Pyrethrum was once cultivated as an ingredient in mosquito coils and other products, and by May Innoshima would be covered in pure white.

I Go To Shirataki-Yama


Mt. Shirataki, located on Innoshima Island in Onomichi City, is home to around 700 stone Buddha statues lined up around the Kannon Hall at the summit. 

The stone Buddha statues, created during the Edo period, blend into the natural surroundings, and from the observation deck at the summit you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
