Suo-Oshima (周防大島) Katazoe-ga-hama and Nagisa Aquarium - Island Time

A family-friendly island time course circling Suo-Oshima (周防大島) in Yamaguchi Prefecture, known as the 'Hawaii of the Seto Inland Sea.' Enjoy island mandarin sweets and fresh seafood lunch at Michi no Eki Southern Seto Towa, then visit Makimiya Island (真宮島) where a sandy path emerges from the sea only at low tide. In the afternoon, walk along the white sand beach lined with palm trees at Katazoe-ga-hama, and encounter Seto Inland Sea creatures in the touch pool at Nagisa Aquarium (なぎさ水族館), one of Japan's largest. End your journey at the Mutsu Memorial Hall (陸奥記念館), where you can listen quietly to the history sleeping in the island's waters. Experience a leisurely island day with sea, mandarin oranges, and a small aquarium—a memorable outing for parent and child.
