Mihara

Mihara occupies a coastal plain beside the Seto Inland Sea in eastern Hiroshima Prefecture. The city faces the sheltered waters and islands of Japan’s inland sea, where the Numata River reaches the coast. Mihara developed around Mihara Castle, begun in 1567 by the warlord Kobayakawa Takakage; surviving stone walls beside Mihara Station recall a fortress once closely tied to the tides. Octopus fishing is also central to local food culture, and dishes featuring tako are a familiar regional specialty. Rail connections and the harbour make Mihara a practical base for exploring the wider coastal area.
