What to expect

World Cultural Heritage | Sado Kinzan Visit the Sado Kinzan, newly added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2024, and step into the hand-dug tunnels from the Edo period and the modern mine ruins from the Meiji era that have been preserved in their original state. Witness firsthand the starting point of Japan’s modern industrial development. The iconic “Doyu-no-Warito” landscape, like a real-life version of the animated film “Castle in the Sky”, is a famous spot that heritage and photography enthusiasts cannot miss.
Fairytale-like marine experience | Sado Tarai Boat Take a ride on the “Tarai Boat”, Sado Island’s most iconic traditional round wooden boat, and slowly move forward in the crystal-clear coastal waters. The azure sea flows under your feet, and the atmosphere, combined with the scenery of the fishing port and rocky shore, is like stepping into the dreamlike world of “Spirited Away”, a classic experience unique to Sado Island that cannot be replicated.
Superb view coastline | Senkaku Bay Underwater Perspective Boat Take an underwater perspective boat to admire the magnificent cliffs and unique rock formations of Senkaku Bay from the sea. The cabin has a transparent glass floor, allowing you to directly observe the rocks and swimming fish in the sea, and immerse yourself in the natural impact of the Sea of Japan in a 360-degree experience.
The starting point of Japanese Nishikigoi | Ojiya Nishikigoi no Sato 🐟 Visit the world’s only exhibition facility that systematically introduces the history of Nishikigoi, learn about the story of how colored Nishikigoi evolved from black carp, and admire hundreds of beautiful Nishikigoi known as “jewels of the water” up close. It is an important stop to understand Japanese culture and aesthetics.
Niigata Art Secret Spot | Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel Walk into Kiyotsu Gorge, one of Japan’s three major gorges, and admire the magnificent scenery of steep rock walls, clear streams, and the interweaving of light and shadow in the gorge through a 750-meter-long observation tunnel. The tunnel incorporates art installations from the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, and nature and contemporary art echo each other, creating a great visual impact.
Slow-paced island life and coffee time Slow down at Sawada Swimming Beach, Shimafumi, a seaside café, and other places to experience the unique leisurely rhythm of Sado Island. Whether it is the azure coastline, the pier extending into the sea, or the café facing the Sea of Japan, it is an ideal place to relax and take photos.
