【1 Day Event -15 Oct】Korean Envoys of Communication Reenactment Procession
My mother’s home island, Shimokamukari Island, has long flourished as a strategic point on the Seto Inland Sea route.
In the Edo period (1603-1867), the island was known as the place where “Korean envoys to Japan” were welcomed as part of a good-neighborly friendship mission.
When the Korean envoys visited this area, the entire island extended grand hospitality to them.
The highlight of the event is a parade of approximately 250 participants in vibrant reenactment costumes!
I am surely planing to visit!

Hiroshima City, Private Customized Half Day Tour
Konnichiwa! My name is Anne.
I live in a port town called Kure City, 40 minutes by car from Hiroshima City.
We have many beautiful islands. There is an abundance of seafood and fruits.
The place is surrounded by sea and mountains. You can experience walking on narrow streets, hiking on mountains and even climbing stairs.
Strolling around the town is also enjoyable.
You will surely find your own Seto Inland Sea trip here!
