Tomonoura of Hukuyama city ( Hiroshima prefecture); 鞆の浦

Do you know Ponyo? Ponyo is japanese anime of Mr.Miyazaki. If you listened the song of Ponyo, never forgotten. ‘Ponyo♪　Ponyo♪　sakana no ko♪’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKcyNmwLwGI
I went to the place where he took the material of the movie. The place is tomonoura. Tomonoura is located 14-kilometer south from Fukuyama station. It took 55 minutes by Shinkansen from Shin Osaka to Hukuyama station. From Hukuyama station to Tomonoura it is about 20 minutes by car.

The old-fashioned cafe. You can see a small fishing port from there.

Here is Yado(Japanese style lodging). But you can just have lunch or drinks at there. 御船宿いろは（http://www.vesta.dti.ne.jp/npo-tomo/iroha/index.html). If I could visit Tomonoura again, I would like stay here:)

That photo is Mr. Sakamoro Ryoma, he is historical person(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma).

This meal was really delicious. Price is 1500yen. It is worth that you pay the money. It is popular with sea bream rope fishing, so you should try fresh seafoods.
