Just walking down the beach there is a Ancient Ship Museum having a real size replica of a ship that was built here in 700s to voyage to China.

Just a minute walk from the Kurahashi Sea Station you can also access a hiking trail to Hiyama mountain. The 400m mountain is about a 45 minute hike and features a spectacular 360 view being able to see 3 different prefectures at once!

English notes:

Kurahashi Ekiden 2020
January 12th

The Kurahashi Ekiden (relay race) was this past weekend.

These running races are famous in Japan and consist of a team of runners running different segments of a decided race course. For the Kurahashi Ekiden there was 6 different legs in the race varying from 1.8km to 2km distances.

There was 16 teams this year and students from Kurahashi, Ondo and even Kure city.

This was the first year the Kurahashi Ekiden held an open category allowing runners living outside of Kure to be able to participate.

It seems that the Kurahashi Ekiden will become more and more popular in the next few years!

The best part is hopping in the Kurahashi Onsen (hotspring) after and soaking in the natural hot baths!

Highly recommended event!
