Hotojima Island, floating off the coast of Tsukumi City, is a highly mysterious and vibrant isolated island often called the "Mediterranean Fishing Village" because of its unique landscape where concrete high-rise housings stand packed together on a narrow flat ground. Staging the dynamic sea of the Bungo Channel, the island retains a rich history of prosperous traditional tuna single-line fishing, where you can feel the sea men's passion and life's breath just by strolling through the port. Premium local gourmet culture like fresh tuna "Hyuga-don" is a huge attraction. Encounter local people's genuine warm smiles and surrender yourself to nature's dynamic rhythm for a special island travel experience.
