Iwakuni is situated in the easternmost part of Yamaguchi, on the west coast of the Sea of Aki in the Seto Inland Sea. Iwakuni Castle was built by a warlord in the Kikkawa family early in the 17th century. The castle was demolished under orders of the Tokugawa Shogunate seven years later, but was reconstructed in the middle of the 20th century. The castle houses a historical museum, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of Iwakuni from the observation deck on the top floor of the castle tower.

The Nishiki-gawa River running through the city is spanned by Kintai-kyo Bridge, the symbol of Iwakuni. Measuring about 200 meters in length and 5 meters in width, this wooden, quintuple arched bridge is a unique assembly of timbers built without the use of a single nail, and is known as one of Japan's three great bridges.

Kikko-koen Park, the site of the feudal lord Kikkawa's former residence, is dotted with ditches and plaster-walled buildings surrounded by mud fences that show you how the houses of the samurai of those days looked. In the park is the substantially built Iwakuni Historical Art Museum. Also worth visiting is the Iwakuni Choko-kan Museum, built during World War II, in which exhibits, artifacts, and documents relating to the Kikkawa family are on display.
