oovdub Says: One of Japans three most scenic spots. It was designated as a World Cultural Heritage site. There is an aquarium here but when i went in 2009 it was closed and said it would be closed until 2011. Other then that everything else is worth seeing, Alot of steps but as i have...
oovdub Says: I was told to check out 3 peaks but ran out of time while in the area, People i have met though that have been hiking here said it was a great place to go. Plan to go next time i am in the area. If your into hiking check it out. Tent camping is available but reservations are...
oovdub Says: Not sure why it's called 7 Falls, only saw 5, but those 5 were impressive! Alot of stairs though and once you get to the top go right through the tunnel and follow trail to where it Ts and if you go right up the never ending stairs (trail supposed to lead back to the parking...
avery78 Says: One thing to definetly do is visit the Kintai (Freedom) bridge. It's not very hard to get to, just ask around and you will be pointed in the right direction. From there you can also visit Iwakuni's castle.

96mr2 Says: Getting around Iwakuni can be easy. At the bus stop at the JR station there is English signs pointing you to the bus area for the Kintai Bridge and the Shin Iwakuni station they won't give bus numbers because all buses that stop at that area are bound for those locations....
kevarms Says: I find buses in Japan very confusing because of the lack of English signs. I found the link below which may be useful for getting around, although I don't know how up to date the fares are.
96mr2 Says: There are numerous train stations in iwakuni. There is a Shinkansen station. There is the main Iwakuni JR station that is no where near the Kintai bridge, but at the main station you can swap trains to either the nishikigawa line or the ganto line. These both have other...
didier06 Says: There are 2 trains stations at Iwakuni. Shin Iwakuni for shinkansen and Iwakuni station for local train, both station are far from KINTAI-KYO and you need to take buses or taxis. From Iwakuni station take the bus "ICHISUKE" . Iwakuni station to KINTAI KYO 8H -19H Every hours...

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT!!!! ...
lumardor Says: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT!!!! swim in the river, or 7 falls after a typhoon!!! A friend of mine drowned, along with countless marines!!! DON'T BE STUPID!!! and watch out for the mumushi snakes.
kiwigal_1 Says: If you plan on doing a lot of train travel when you are in Japan then I suggest that you decline from bringing large, heavy suitcases. Most train stations in Japan have huge staircases (often no lift) so lugging a big suitcase is not an easy task. I suggest a good backpack...
kiwigal_1 Says: The Iwakuni White Snake only lives in certain parts of Iwakuni and is considered a natural treasure. It is one of the world's rarest snakes. I'm pretty squeamish when it somes to snakes but I went and took a look at them anyway at the little display in Kikko Park near Kintai...
hmm.. lemme see. Getting lost...
lumardor Says: hmm.. lemme see. Getting lost in Otake, at night with your gas meter on 'E', is quite an adventure.. there is practically NO escape! Hachigamene.. everyone knows that.. Isuzu beach is grungy, but nice to hang out with your buds at night and drink beer.... The levy.. Random...
kiwigal_1 Says: Autumn is a great time to visit Iwakuni as there are many beautiful autumn leaves around the temple. The best place to see the maple leaves is in Momijidani Park.
Vondell Says: Please explore the culture here. Do not be afraid to see different things and taste different foods. I have been to several parks, festivals and china factories (do not recall names). My fondest memory of Iwakuni was that I was able to take my son. The people loved to watch...
