  • Japanese: 鞆の浦 (Tomonoura)

Tomonoura is a harbor in modern-day Fukuyama City, Hiroshima prefecture, which historically was a significant Inland Sea port.

A temple near the harbor called Komatsuji (小松寺) is home to the grave of Shô Dôkyô Yoseyama Peechin, a musician and member of the 1790 Ryukyuan embassy, who died on the way to Edo on 10/13 in that year. A plaque or piece of calligraphy was later donated to the temple in his memory, by Yoseyama's grandfather, Fukuyama ueekata Chôki
