The Ondo no Seto Strait, allegedly carved by Taira no Kiyomori around 800 years ago, is a crucial yet challenging point on the Seto Inland Sea route due to its rapid currents. This narrow strait, only 90 meters wide, offers scenic views and historical significance. Visitors can explore the Ondo no Seto Park and the observation points at Mt. Takatori for panoramic views of the strait, the Ondo Ohashi Bridge, and the surrounding islands. A short ferry ride across the strait provides a unique experience. The best time to visit is during the cherry blossom season for stunning views. Access is convenient by bus or car from Kure Station.
