Iwakuni City, located in the easternmost part of Yamaguchi Prefecture, borders Hiroshima Prefecture across a river. As it is located in the middle of Hiroshima and Yamaguchi Prefectures, it is easy to travel not only within the city but also to other prefectures. The employment situation is relatively good, as many major companies have built headquarters and factories in the city center. Fishing is the main industry, and with many fishing ports scattered around, fishing is very active. Major tourist spots include Futatsuka Falls, where you can see natural monuments, and Shirahebi Shrine, where you can see white snakes. The city is bustling with tourists as it is possible to see some very rare items.
