ELLE LOCAL vol.2 ONOMICHI

「ELLE LOCAL」が訪れたのは広島県尾道市。

尾道駅に到着するとまず目に飛び込んでくるのは、まるでポラロイドフィルムで切り取ったかのようなレトロで淡いブルーの情景。

広く澄み渡る空と尾道水道が作り出した美しい景色には、林芙美子や志賀直哉に愛され、小津安二郎監督の『東京物語』や大林宣彦監督の“尾道三部作”がでも取り上げられるなど“文学・映画の街”として親しまれてきた歴史がある。そんな懐古的な街並みのなかに、建築家・安藤忠雄氏が設計した「尾道美術館」や谷尻誠氏によるホテルサイクル「オノミチU2」、そして中村拓志氏の「ベラビスタ スパ＆マリーナ 尾道」といった名だたる建築や、世界中のサイクリストが押し寄せるしまなみ海道などの現代的なライフ＆カルチャーが見事に調和している。

古くから造船業が栄え、海外との貿易と文化交流をしてきた尾道の人々。インターナショナルな感覚をもつ風土は、新旧を織り交ぜた街並みだけでなく新しいクリエイティビティの潮流とリラックスした空気感をも感じさせてくれる。郷愁にも浸れる文化と、建築やアートがそこかしこに存在するドラマティックな尾道には「また来たい！」と思わせる趣が溢れていた。

Vol.2 Onomichi,agasaki.

Exit the Onomichi train station and your eyes will be greeted by a city with old-world charm bathed in faint blue, as if you were viewing an old Polaroid snapshot.

This distinctive old Japanese townscape was beloved by literary giants such as Fumiko Hayashi and Naoya Shiga; it is also widely known through films such as Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story (1953) and Nobuhiko Obayashi’s “Onomichi Trilogy” (1982-1985). Other attractions include the notable architecture that punctuates the skyline—namely, the Onomichi City Museum by Tadao Ando, the ONOMICHI U2 HOTEL CYCLE by Makoto Tanijiri, and the BellaVista SPA & MARINA by Hiroshi Nakamura—and the Shimanami Kaido, a popular destination for cyclists from around the world. Framed by the boundless clear sky and the Onomichi Channel, Onomichi is a city with an unaffected blend of modernity and tradition, of lifestyle and culture.

Developed as a port and shipbuilding town, the people of Onomichi have a long history of international trade and cultural exchange. That global sensibility runs through the city’s veins, a fact that explains not only the townscape that balances past and present, but why the area is bursting with fresh creative energy while simultaneously retaining its peaceful, laid-back character. Onomichi is at once dramatic and tranquil, a place where the culture of days gone by lives on, coexisting with contemporary art and architecture. Here you’ll find plenty of delightful surprises that will have you eager to return time and time again.

広島：坂の町尾道の小路伝いに林芙美子と志賀直哉を訪ねる

tube 2011.04.07 - - Hiroshima onomichi slope alley visit fumiko hayashi and naoya shiga

ところどころ...46章 下の世界を見下ろせば part 1

尾道... Though under the radar of most foreign tourists, Onomichi has dozens of ancient temples and monuments, which are connected by two enjoyable walks, and the start of an exceptional bike trail to Shikoku. It has been the home of a number of Japan's more famous authors, such as Shiga Naoya, Takahashi Gen'ichirō, and Hayashi Fumiko. Better preserved than most towns of its kind, Onomichi has also been the setting for a number of movies and TV dramas, including Yasujiro Ozu's 1953 classic Tokyo Story, and a 2005 anime series, Kamichu.
