Akiota

Akiota lies along the upper Ōta River valley, where densely wooded Chūgoku Mountains surround scattered settlements in northwestern Hiroshima Prefecture. The town includes Sandankyō, a roughly 16-kilometre gorge of clear water, cliffs and forest within Nishi-Chūgoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park; paths and boat trips reach parts of the ravine. Mount Osorakan, at 1,346 metres Hiroshima Prefecture’s highest peak, is a winter-sports destination. Shrine festivals sustain kagura, the masked music-and-dance tradition of Hiroshima’s mountain communities.
