福山城
The original castle which dated back to 1619 was destroyed in the bombing of Fukuyama in WWII. The current structure was rebuilt in 1966. The castle grounds are pleasant and the keep looks attractive. It is literally right outside Fukuyama Station, which can be convenient for travelers who want to make a quick stop between Hiroshima and Okayama but unfortunate that the station's presence stymies a lot of good photo opportunities.
備後国分寺
鞆の浦
An ancient port town on the Seto Inland Sea with scenic views of outlying islands. It is famous for Homeishu, a sweet liqueur, made in the Tomo area for over a thousand years. Four distilleries offer free tastes. Tomonoura is also known for its red sea bream fishing display using traditional methods each May. Enjoy a drink or lazy lunch at one of two harbor-side cafes next to the lighthouse.
