日本中國地方
本州西端五縣,南側山陽面向瀨戶內海、北側山陰臨日本海,有宮島、原爆圓頂、倉敷與出雲大社。
本區指日本的「中國地方」,與中國無關,按縣整體劃分,包括岡山、廣島、山口三縣(山陽,面向瀨戶內海)和鳥取、島根兩縣(山陰,面向日本海),島根縣的隱岐群島也包含在內。島波海道起點尾道屬廣島縣,終點今治屬四國愛媛縣。
核心看點:廣島和平紀念公園與原爆圓頂、宮島嚴島神社海上鳥居(均為世界遺產),尾道坡道小城與騎行島波海道,岡山後樂園與倉敷美觀地區白壁老街,山口縣巖國錦帶橋、秋吉台喀斯特與萩、津和野的城下町;山陰的出雲大社、松江城與宍道湖夕陽、世界遺產石見銀山,鳥取沙丘與境港鬼太郎之路。
經典玩法:山陽線岡山—倉敷—尾道—廣島—宮島 4-5 天;騎行島波海道全程約 70 公里,可安排 1-2 天;加山陰線出雲—松江—鳥取再 3-4 天,全區環遊約 8-10 天。
交通:廣島、岡山、米子、出雲等機場;山陽新幹線串聯岡山、廣島、新山口,山陰方向從岡山乘特急八雲至松江、出雲。JR 西日本山陽山陰地區鐵路周遊券覆蓋全區。
注意:山陰列車班次稀少,需提前查時刻;宮島進島需繳納訪問稅;嚴島神社鳥居觀景受潮汐影響,滿潮與退潮景觀不同。
