In this 4K walking tour video by the channel 街撮りch, viewers are transported to the charming port city of Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture. The video begins at Onomichi Station (尾道駅), a well-known hub along the Seto Inland Sea that has welcomed travelers and tourists for decades. Having arrived in Onomichi from Hiroshima City on a Sunday, the video aptly captures the area's popularity—parking lots are filled to capacity and the streets are bustling with activity.

Onomichi has long been a favorite spot for domestic tourists in Japan. In more recent years, the city has also become recognized internationally as the gateway to the Shimanami Kaidō, a scenic expressway and cycling route that connects Honshu with Shikoku across a series of islands and bridges. This added prominence has only increased the number of visitors who flock to the area year-round.

The walk featured in the video highlights a stroll through the covered shopping arcade that runs parallel to the station. Stretching from east to west, this street is lined with local businesses, cafes, and souvenir shops that give travelers a glimpse into the local culture. The leisurely pace of the video allows viewers to appreciate the rhythm of daily life in Onomichi as well as the architectural details of this historic city.

Towards the end of the route, the video shifts from the shopping street into a nearby nightlife district. Since it's a Sunday, the usually lively bar area is eerily quiet, creating a striking contrast between the daytime hustle and the nighttime calm—a subtle reflection of Onomichi's layered character as both a historic port town and a modern travel destination.
