Aioi City, facing a deep cove in the Seto Inland Sea, is a lively port town that once flourished as a shipbuilding town. The "Aioi Peiron Festival" held every May is a dynamic festival where people compete by rowing long boats of Chinese origin, and its heat has become a symbol of the town. Along the sea, there is "Manyo-no-Misaki" (Cape of Manyo), and the beauty of the many islands in the Seto Inland Sea viewed from there is so beautiful that ancient poets loved it, offering a soul-washing panorama. In addition, it is famous for being able to taste fresh "oysters" in winter. It is a spot where you can experience a Japanese town living with the sea, with its heavy atmosphere feeling the history of shipbuilding, calm marine sentiment, and the best seafood.
