Kitagishima Oyster farm experience & Shishijima Hiking tour
This tour will take you to Shishijima, an island symbolized by a sacred tree believed to be around 1,200 years old, and Kitagishima, recognized as a Japanese heritage site for its stone history.
With a private boat, you can fully enjoy even remote islands without having to worry about ferry schedules or transfers.
On Shishijima, enjoy a hike through the great outdoors as you head toward the ancient camphor tree, designated as a natural monument.
The view from the handmade observatory at the top, created by the island’s residents, is a must-see.
On Kitagishima, you will visit oyster rafts where the delicious and high-quality ‘Kitaki oysters’ are cultivated in pristine waters rich with plankton, followed by a lunch meal of fresh oyster dishes.
There’s nothing like enjoying lunch while watching the oyster farming process right in front of you.
Immerse yourself in the charm of the small islands of the Seto Inland Sea, filled with beautiful nature and rich culinary traditions.
