In Ushimado Bay of Setouchi City, the three islands of Kuroshima, Nakanokojima, and Hashinokojima are connected by a sand bar that appears during times of low tide, and guests can walk along the arch-shaped sand bridge to the islands.
Come to see this sacred sand road made by nature while gazing at the Ushimado sunset, which was selected as one of the best 100 sunsets in Japan.
"Shiomachi Karakoto-dori" is a townscape located in the east part of Ushimado town (between Seki-cho and Higashi-cho areas) in Setouchi City; the area prospered as a port town between the Edo Period and 1955 and retains remnants of that era. Traditional folk culture is still evident in the Honrenji Temple that was used for Korean envoys, the ruins of a traditional tea house, white-walled earthen warehouses, latticed doors, the old Ushimado Bank, ruins of the lantern hall, and in the traditional buildings, the 'shishikoma' celebration for girls, the majestic 'danjiri' floats that are used in the autumn festival, and more.
