Ibukijima, located off the coast of Kan-onji City, is world-famous as the producing area of "Ibuki Iriko" (dried sardines), which boast Japan's top quality. The island's perimeter is surrounded by steep cliffs, and a unique landscape spreads out where houses are densely packed along labyrinthine slopes. Every year during the anchovy fishing season, the entire island overflows with vitality, and you can feel the traditional processing techniques up close. It is also known for preserving the unique "Ibukijima Dialect," making it a linguistically valuable place. Contemporary art pieces are also dotted around, and the sight of the island's history, industry, and life fused with art leaves a strong impression on visitors. It is a place where you can experience the powerful fishing culture of Setouchi and the dynamic energy of the island's unique terrain.
