Former Kusaka Hospital

The "Former Kusaka Hospital" in Shunan City is a nostalgic composite facility that renovated a Western-style hospital built in the early Showa era. The beautiful scratch-tile exterior, modern window frames, and retro interior space that strongly retain the atmosphere of the time are irresistibly charming for architecture fans.

Sunset Cape (Yuhi-misaki)

Sunset Cape (Yuhi-misaki) on Kasado Island is famous as one of the best places to see the most beautiful sunset in the Seto Inland Sea. The silhouettes of small islands scattered across the sea and strange rocks carved by rough waves over many years show a divine appearance like a religious painting at dusk, as the sky and sea change expressions moment by moment. From the observation spot, you can see the vast, unobstructed horizon, and the time spent quietly watching the sun sink while listening to the sound of the waves will completely heal the fatigue of your journey....
