Located in the southern part of Sukumo City facing the calm and beautiful Sukumo Bay, "Tanoura Fishing Port" is a hidden coastal town where a relaxed island time and Japan's rustic sea living breathe deeply. Surrounded by a highly transparent, rich sea, this port serves not only as a landing base for fresh marine products but also as an underground sacred site secretly loved by international cyclists, anglers, and divers. Especially in the winter season, it is famous as a magnificent viewpoint for the "Daruma Sunset (or Sunrise)," a fantastical natural phenomenon where the setting sun distorts into a shape like a daruma doll due to steam rising from cold morning waters. Wrapped in the natural, quiet emotions of a fisherman's town and dynamic ocean energy, it is a place to be deeply healed.
