Tomonoura

Tomonoura (鞆の浦), formerly known as Tomonotsu (鞆の津), is a port in the Tomo ward of Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.

It stands on the southern point of the Numakuma Peninsula, 14 kilometers south of Fukuyama Station, with a population of about half a million people as of 2017.

Tomonoura lies within Tomokōen (鞆公園), which forms part of the Setonaikai National Park.

[citation needed] There are many historical temples and shrines around Tomonoura, and the area is famous for red sea bream (真鯛, Madai) fishing.

This organization later helped to restore a historic merchant house in the town with financial support from American Express.
