Onomichi (尾道; [1]) is a small port city in Hiroshima prefecture, between the cities of Hiroshima and Okayama.
Onomichi is on the San'yo Shinkansen line, which connects the town to Hiroshima and Fukuoka (Kyushu) in the west and Okayama and the Kansai region in the east.
The local speciality is Onomichi rāmen, a variation of the ubiquitous noodle soup that would look suspiciously like the ordinary soy-flavored kind if not for the hint of fish paste in the stock and the gobs of melted lard floating on top.
