Iwakuni (⍑), a small city of 130,000 people in southeastern Yamaguchi Prefecture, is best known for its unique Kintai-kyo Bridge. Beautiful around the year, the bridge is particularly attractive during the cherry blossom season, which usually takes place in early April.
During the Edo Period (1603-1868), Iwakuni used to be one of the feudal domains of Japan. Its former mountain-top castle was reconstructed in the 1960s and counts to the city's other tourist attractions. Iwakuni is easily visited as a side trip from Hiroshima.
