Mitoko Bay in Kaiyo Town is a beautiful inlet where the dynamic Pacific waves are blocked by islands, creating a mirror-like calm sea surface. Green small islands are dotted within the bay, and the scenery woven by the highly transparent sea, white rocks, and green pines is so spectacular it's called the "Matsushima of Southern Tokushima." It is also popular as a field for sea kayaking and SUP; rowing across the calm surface through a labyrinth of islands provides exceptional exhilaration. At dusk, the silhouettes of the islands are dyed by the sunset, creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere. For travelers wanting quiet time in calm, natural sculptural beauty away from city hustle, it is an ideal ocean resort.
