Otake

The city spreads across the western region of Hiroshima Prefecture along the Seto Inland Sea, featuring both coastal areas and mountainous terrain.

Established as a city on September 1, 1954, Ōtake developed from a small fishing village into an important industrial center in the Hiroshima region.

The Sakagura Koryukan museum, housed in a former sake brewery, demonstrates traditional sake production methods through exhibits and hands-on experiences.

Regular train services connect Ōtake to major cities through the JR West lines, providing efficient transportation options for residents and visitors.

Local artisans maintain the tradition of bamboo basket weaving in specialized workshops, passing down techniques through generations of craftspeople.
