Located in Kudamatsu City between Shimonoseki and Hiroshima, this is a beautiful crescent-shaped island connected by the giant "Kasado Bridge." The greatest charm of this island is the mystical sunset where the sinking sun dyes the sea orange, viewed through the wave-carved "Hanaguri Rock." The view from "Sunset Cape" is considered one of the most beautiful in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Within the island, there are also hot springs with spectacular views and hiking courses overlooking the sea, allowing you to enjoy a resort atmosphere. It is a soul-cleansing island resort where you can fully enjoy the calm nature of the Seto Inland Sea and fresh seafood, including the specialty "Kasado Hirame" (flounder).
