The ChÅ«goku region is situated in the western part of HonshÅ«, Japan’s main island. It comprises five prefectures: Hiroshima, Okayama, Shimane, Tottori, and Yamaguchi. ChÅ«goku is bordered by the Sea of Japan to the north and the Seto Inland Sea to the south, offering a mix of coastal sceneries.
This region is marked by its less-traversed, rural landscapes and historical sites, making it a quieter alternative to Japan’s bustling urban centres. The area’s diverse geography ranges from the sandy dunes of Tottori to the rugged mountains of Shimane. ChÅ«goku also plays host to several cultural landmarks, including the historic city of Hiroshima and numerous traditional shrines and temples. The varied climate supports both coastal and inland experiences, from seaside activities to exploring dense forests and mountains.
