Ramen in Onomichi

Sunday, 18th January 2009

Onomichi is located between Hiroshima and Fukuyama. Yoshi, Corrina, Naomi & myself met up at the station and went for a walk along the main shopping strip. There was a shop that makes hand-made knives and swords that was the main attraction for me. We also went up to where the well-known senko-ji temple is located which offers great views of the Seto Inland Sea and surrounding areas.

Onomichi ramen is also popular among the locals and Yoshi recommended that we eat at this one shown in the photo. We had to wait around half an hour before being able to get in. However, once in the restaurant, we were rushed to scoff our food down and get out so the next load could get their ramen! The ramen was a little too oily.
