  • Ferry Experience - Closed Door Contact Ship

One of the unique features of the Kanmon ferry is its short operating time, crossing the Kanmon Strait in just a few minutes, making it one of the fastest modes of transportation connecting Fukuoka and Yamaguchi. A ride on the Kanmon ferry offers spectacular sea views and stunning scenery on both sides of the strait.

  • Tanghu Market

The first floor of Karato Market will be completely transformed into the "Vibrant Mashin Street," a seafood stall area.

Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the azure ocean and the surrounding scenery, making it an unforgettable sightseeing spot.

  • Motonosumi Shrine

This shrine was built in 1955, following a divine message brought by a white fox, and was a branch of the Taikodani Inari Shrine in Tsuwano Town, Shimane Prefecture (a shrine to seek divine power). The 123 red torii gates along the way from the Ryugu Shiokawa (Echoing Waves) viewpoint to the shrine are quite impressive. Looking closely at the torii gates on the shrine's high platform… the donation box is actually right above your head! It's said that if you put in incense money, your wish will come true.
