The Soemon guardhouse was the site of the guardhouse at the entrance to Fukuyama Castle town, which was built by the lord of Fukuyama, Katsunari Mizuno, in 1619. It remains a fascinating tourist spot with the atmosphere of the time, including earthen bridges and praying bridges.
During the cherry blossom season, the surrounding cherry blossom trees create a wonderful scenery. At night, they are illuminated and enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere, making it an enchanting spot. As it is a photogenic place, we recommend bringing a camera.
There are many cafes around the Soemon guardhouse that have been renovated from old folk houses. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the town's nostalgic atmosphere. The leisurely passing of time, while reminiscing about history, is particularly special.
There are many unique districts nearby, such as Sumachi and Daikokucho, each with their own charm unique to Fukuyama. We recommend exploring by foot, as you may encounter a completely different side of Fukuyama.
