  • Enjoy sea kayaking in Tomonoura, known as the No. 1 scenic spot in the eastern Japan. This town was also used as a filming location for the Studio Ghibli film "Ponyo" and the Hollywood film "The Wolverine." This unique tour allows you to fully experience Tomonoura, a town where nature and history intertwine, with views of the port town from the sea, the Abuto Kannon temple jutting out into the ocean, and uninhabited beaches accessible only by sea kayak. ★Tour Schedule★ ○Departure: Sea kayaking is the only way to view the port town of Tomonoura from the sea. Enjoy the charming townscape. ○Example Route 1: ●There's a torii gate standing on Bentenjima Beach. This view from the sea is reminiscent of Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site. ●Circumnavigating Sensuijima: Sensuijima is an island that remains largely untouched by human hands, preserving the pristine landscape of the Seto Inland Sea. Let's take a sea kayak tour around the island. You can see untouched nature and, at times, fish jumping out of the sea. ○ Route Example 2 ● Bentenjima There is a torii gate standing on the coast. This view from the sea is reminiscent of Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site. ● Abuto Kannon Abuto Kannon, built to jut out into the sea, offers a spectacular view from the sea. Depending on the tide, you may want to go ashore. It is famous for prayers for safe childbirth, and many votive plaques in the shape of breasts are displayed. ● Sensuijima Let's head to Sensuijima, passing small islands along the way. ○ Return to Port Let's return to Tomonoura by sea kayak once again.
