Walking Tips

By car, it is approximately 21 kilometers and about 25 minutes from the Sera Interchange on the Onomichi-Matsue Expressway. Please be careful, as there are no convenience stores or gas stations along this route. On Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays during the flower seasons, a direct bus service called the "Sera Farm Flower Tour Ticket" (Sera Noen Hana Meguri Kippu) operates from the Hiroshima Bus Center, making rounds of the flower farms in Sera-cho. Since there are no direct buses on weekdays or during other periods, visitors must use taxis or rental cars from the nearest bus stops or train stations. As it becomes crowded during consecutive national holidays, an early morning visit is recommended.

It takes about 25 minutes by car to reach Sera Kogen Farm, located approximately 11 kilometers to the east.
