Takehara City is located in the middle of the Hiroshima coastline, in a warm region with a Seto Inland Sea climate. The Kamo River flows through the city, and it is surrounded by mountains. It is well-connected by public transport, and is served by Hiroshima Airport and expressways, making it a developed transportation hub. One of the city's main tourist attractions is Bamboo Joy Highland. This bamboo park, which is considered a symbol of urban development, displays many unique items, including a bamboo organ. The vast grounds allow visitors to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the forest. Another local specialty is bamboo shoots. It is said that if there is a lot of rain in September, delicious bamboo shoots will be harvested in the spring.
