Hikari extends along the Seto Inland Sea in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and its sheltered shoreline has given the city a lasting maritime orientation. The coast remains central to local life, from Nijigahama Beach to harbours facing the island-dotted waters of the Inland Sea. Murozumi, once an important port, retains the character of an older coastal district and recalls the seaborne trade that linked communities across western Japan. Hikari forms part of the Suō coastal area, where transport routes trace the sea between Iwakuni and Shūnan.
