Hotels in Chugoku, Japan

Chugoku is Japan's westernmost region on Honshu island, famous for the Itsukushima Shrine's floating torii gate and Hiroshima's Peace Memorial. The climate varies from hot, humid summers (around 30°C / 86°F) perfect for cycling the Shimanami Kaido across the Seto Inland Sea, to cool winters ideal for soaking in onsen and eating fresh oysters in Hiroshima. In spring, you can see cherry blossoms at Okayama's Korakuen Garden, while autumn brings colorful leaves to the mountain temples of Tottori.
