What is Setouchi
Setouchi is a must-see spot in Japan! Famous for its beautiful scenery, mild climate, and the warmth of its local people, it has been loved by both Japanese people and foreigners for generations!
Setouchi is located in Western Japan and it refers to the coastal areas and more than 700 islands embraced by the Seto Inland Sea.
This charming maritime area is full of bustling cities like Hiroshima, Himeji and Kobe, as well as less-touristy destinations like Megijima (the Island of Ogres) and Takehara (a city preserved as 200 years ago).
It also hosts the famous Shikoku Pilgrimage, the largest in Japan, featuring 88 temples and sacred sites. Here, you can discover yourself in a life-changing spiritual path while also experiencing the well-known Shikoku’s hospitality and local foods, such as udon noodles, fresh fish and much more!
If you are a nature lover, you will surely enjoy the numerous island-hopping excursions by cruises, the “Setonaikai National Park”, the Shimanami Kaido Cycling Experience and spectacular natural phenomena like the Naruto Whirlpools!
Immerse yourself in this unique territory where you can experience Tradition, Art, and Culture without being surrounded by the crowds of bigger cities like Kyoto or Tokyo. Create unforgettable memories in Setouchi!
