Flow of the course

About this spot

Hinase has long thrived as a fishing town, and its harbor is lined with working fishing boats, letting you feel the Seto Inland Sea's living fishing culture up close. Strolling leisurely along the harborside road, gazing out over the calm sea toward the Hinase Islands (日生諸島), offers a quiet richness you can't find in the city. Another highlight is the seascape dotted with the oyster-farming rafts that symbolize Hinase. Let your excitement build slowly toward the evening fireworks as you walk the harbor town's simple, unpretentious atmosphere together as a family.

Tips

You can explore the area within 5 minutes' walk of JR Hinase Station. The summer sun is strong, so don't forget a hat and sunscreen. Watch your footing on the harbor quayside, and hold small children's hands as you walk. Some parts of the fishing-port area are active work sites, so please follow any posted no-entry signs.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The afternoon sea breeze is pleasant, and it's a great time to enjoy the calm Seto Inland Sea scenery
