Speaking of Culture, the 3rd of November is always the Betcha Festival in Onomichi. Bring your small child and have them bashed on the head for good luck, and bitten by a lion-dragon for good health, and generally scared sh****** by the whole experience. No seriously the whole town is overrun with screaming children and laughing parents. Definitely worth a visit under the seeing is believing heading.
This year we took the lovely G with us, who was utterly traumatised by the whole experience, and refused to even get into the melee. Weechan, this being her 3rd time, declared she was not going to cry and was actively going to molest the four demons until they banged and bit her to her satisfaction. This she achieved with flying colours for the first time. Don't worry G, everyone is terrified the first time.
The gelato from Dona and feeding the horses went some way to making up for it I hope!
