8 Affordable Hotels & Inns in Onomichi Perfect for Budget Solo Trips!

Onomichi in Hiroshima is the perfect city for solo female travelers. Broadly speaking, there are two areas: the Onomichi area, which covers the city and countryside, and the Shimanami area, which includes the islands along the Shimanami Kaido. You can enjoy it. You'll want to take a ride on the Senkoji ropeway, where you can get a panoramic view of the city.

On the other hand, the Shimanami area is recommended for those who want to enjoy island hopping. You can also rent a bicycle and cycle. You can take a leisurely tour on a bus that runs on certain days such as Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, Obon, and the year-end and New Year holidays. Travel in style that suits you.

Since it is in a traditional building that was built about 100 years ago, there are some inconveniences such as hearing noises from the next door and many insects in the summer. However, Miharashi-tei is still worth staying. The shoji screens, wooden pillars, beams, and ceiling make you feel nostalgic. If you're a solo female traveler, we recommend staying in a female-only dormitory.
