Taneichi Uni Cultivation Fishery Center (種市うに栽培漁業センター)

Flow of the course

About this spot

On the coastline of Yono Town, traditional structures called "uni propagation channels" (ウニ増殖溝)—channels carved into rocky areas to cultivate sea urchins—still remain. Using tidal flows to grow the seaweed that serves as food for uni, these channels embody the wisdom of our predecessors in cultivating high-quality sea urchins and are known nationally as a rare fishing method. The scenery created by rocky shores and azure sea is also photogenic and becomes a learning moment to understand Yono Town's ocean bounty before your beach swim.

Tips

Since the footing is rocky, shoes that don't slip are recommended over sandals. At high tide, the channels may be hidden below sea level, so viewing is easier during times close to low tide. Refrain from touching intertidal creatures and observe quietly.

Best time to visit

Approximately 50 minutes required. Calm mornings with gentle waves are the most relaxing time for viewing.
