Iwakuni Ko
While Iwakuni Ko Port
itself focuses on industrial activity, the nearby city of Iwakuni
offers a treasure trove of sights. Explore the majestic Iwakuni
Castle, perched atop Mount Shiroyama, or
take a leisurely stroll across the Kintai Bridge, a
beautiful wooden bridge with a distinctive arched design. If
you're a whiskey aficionado, a visit to the Suntory Museum of Liquors in
Yamazaki might be a delightful detour. Shopping
options range from local stores selling everyday necessities to specialty shops
offering regional crafts and souvenirs. For a taste of Japanese
cuisine, head to a local restaurant near the port or venture into Iwakuni
for a wider variety of dining options, including fresh seafood
and traditional dishes like okonomiyaki. Nightlife
in the immediate vicinity of the port might be limited, but
Iwakuni offers pubs and restaurants where you can unwind with a drink
and perhaps some live music.
