how to get to Tomonoura 2010/2/10 22:19
I will be in Japan soon and wish to visit the town of Tomonoura, where Miyazaki modelled the town in the Ponyo movie.
I have used Jorudan & Hyperdia & Wikipedia - seems that the train service from I think Fukuyama to Tomonoura does not run any more. Can anyone tell me how to get there from Hiroshima?

It is about a 30 minute bus ride south of Fukuyama Station.

Can anyone tell me if there's any accommodation for travellers in Tomonoura or would it be better to day-trip from Fukuyama or Hiroshima?

Tomonoura has some hotels and ryokan, but English information is probably limited. Here is a list in Japanese:
