- Now get ready to sail out on the sea!
- The next destination is Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site protruding from the sea!
- Return to Shimada Suisan, and enjoy special fisherman’s dishes! (*Additional fees apply)
- The tour is over!
The view of a large number of oysters cultured on a 10-meter fishing strand appearing from the sea is really magnificent!
We serve delicious hot rice porridge with fresh oysters to warm you up and help you recover from the cold sea wind
You can enjoy watching the oyster harvesting up close, which will be a valuable and amazing experience for you!
We will proceed to Itsukushima Shrine and view its beauty from the sea
