An archipelago consisting of over 40 islands floating off the coast of Himeji. Many active fishermen still live here, and the maze-like alleys, houses lined up on slopes, and fishing boats filling the port tell the story of "life on a Japanese island" as it is. Strolling through the island, you can encounter nostalgic remnants of the Showa era, and the warm hospitality of local people will soothe your heart. Eateries where you can taste freshly caught seafood on the spot are true gastronomic hidden gems. Away from the bustle of the city, enveloped in sea breeze and the sound of waves, it is the best hideaway island for travelers who want to discover Japan's unadorned wealth.
