Hands-Free Sightseeing Tips

Why not enjoy sightseeing hands-free?

The “Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings” is located a short distance from JR Takehara Station. Once you step inside,
you’ll find an ancient townscape with plaster walls and amber-colored lattices. We recommend exploring on foot to truly feel the bustle of the past.
Also, at Okunoshima Island, we hope you take your time to relax and interact with the cute rabbits amidst the beautiful nature of the Seto Inland Sea.
To help you enjoy Takehara comfortably, eco-friendly, and fun, we recommend “Hands-Free Sightseeing!”
Here are some places where you can leave your luggage at nearby stations, ports, and facilities.
