Activity

Admire the beauty of the scattered islets in the Seto Inland Sea. Osakikamijima preserves its traditional island life and untouched scenery.

Take a bicycle from Takehara, board the ferry, and head to the small island of Osakikamijima, floating in the Seto Inland Sea

Discover a century-old tradition at Okamoto Soy Sauce Brewery, where you can see 100-year-old wooden barrels and enjoy the rare experience of stirring and tasting the moromi (soy sauce mash).

At Hotel Seifukan, enjoy a lunch made with local ingredients, stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea, and a relaxing day-trip bath.

On the beach, embrace the serene stillness of the Seto Inland Sea as an island elder (Shima-jii) shares stories of the island’s history, culture, and townscape, letting you soak in the laid-back island atmosphere.
