Our final stop on the Seto Inland Sea journey brought us to Onomichi City, nestled between mountains and sea. Here we savored delicious ramen, set off fireworks by the shore, met a local tea maker by chance, and visited a regional designer. The entire trip proved deeply inspiring, reigniting our imagination for life.
