Hotels in Chugoku, Japan

Chugoku is the westernmost region of Japan's Honshu island, famous for the floating torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine and the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima. The climate is hot and humid in summer (around 86 degrees F or 30 degrees C), perfect for cycling the Shimanami Kaido bridge route, while mild winters (around 50 degrees F or 10 degrees C) are great for exploring Tottori's sand dunes without crowds. Spring brings cherry blossoms to Okayama's Korakuen Garden, and autumn offers pleasant weather for sampling fresh oysters in Yamaguchi's Seto Inland Sea ports.
