Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art

Hirayama Ikuo was born in Setoda-chō, Hiroshima Prefecture in 1930 (in the fifth year of the Showa Era) where he spent his childhood in the region richly endowed with nature. Mystical tide and ultramarine oceans of the island had strong influence over his mind. We could say his sensibility was gained by the environment. Hirayama Ikuo survived atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Though he suffered the aftereffects of radiation, he produced a series of paintings depicting the introduction of Buddhism to Japan to longing for peace. In search of roots of Japanese culture influenced by Buddhism, his inspiration spread across time and space toward Silk Road where eastern and western cultures was interacted. His travel and researches in tracing Buddhist monk Xuanzang whose footstep expanded eastward stretched over 350,000km. Campaigning for the preservation and restoration of the world's cultural heritage, he earnestly worked on so called the "Red Cross Spirit for Cultural Heritage" whiles his busy schedule. Prayer for peace might serve as the driving force for all those works. A variety of Hirayama Ikuo's work are displayed at as part of the museum's collection including his childhood paintings, sketches, rough copies, late year works. Hirayama Ikuo said "I was greatly influenced by the culture of Seto Inland Sea". We hope you find those sprits in our museum. At the end, we wish our museum offer information about culture and the arts. We also aim to provide children responsible for the next generation with an emotional richness. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

Innoshima Bridge

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

The Innoshima Bridge was my favorite of them all while cycling the Shimanami Kaido. This one had a bike path under the bridge which I found to be unique and exciting. It was neat how you had a path just for bikes, pedestrians, and mopeds built under the road. You get great views from this bridge as well like the others. This was the last bridge for me as I ended in Onomichi.

Kosanji Temple

Reviewed By Beetroot99 - London, United Kingdom

Doing the Shimaname kaido bike ride saw the colourful doors to this temple and decided to stop, so glad I did as it is one of my favourite temples in Japan. It's very colourful and in the same complex there is a marble garden and an impressive underground cave complex. Yes it is more expensive that most temples but has a lot more to it.
