Detox mind and body in the sea breeze

The Oki Islands, a remote island in the Sea of Japan. The journey starts with a ferry ride across the ocean. If you are aiming for your first destination, Saigō-cho, you will board the "Oki", a direct flight that departs at 9:00 AM. Spending a roughly two-and-a-half-hour cruise can range from reasonable large rooms to private rooms where you can enjoy a leisurely boat trip. If you take a breath, let's go to the deck. The gentle breeze and scent of the tide and the majestic ocean view detox the stress that has accumulated in your heart.

Special lunch where you can enjoy the ingredients of the island

Before starting to walk, first prepare your stomach. What I would like to recommend is "Restaurant Nagi" which was reopened in December 2021. A variety of dishes that make use of the island's ingredients are popular, and the "roast beef bowl", which is loaded with meat so that rice bowls can be hidden, is very compatible with melting meat, yolks and sauce. In addition, "Nagi Lunch", which is limited to 10 meals a day, is a local favorite menu with fried sakusaku. At lunch full of bounty of nature, energy charge both physically and mentally!

Original scenery of a fishing village to remember nostalgia

Matsubara in Yana, who is also selected for Japan's White Sand Aomatsu Hundred. It was also reportedly planted overnight by "Yao-hikuni", whose legend remains that he lived to be 800 years old by unintentionally mouthing mermaid meat. There are 20 old-fashioned boat huts that line up orderly near Matsubara. I also get some nostalgia for the rustic boat huts with cedar skins lining Matsubara and Mt. Why not leave yourself to the original scenery of a fishing village where calm times flow. I feel like I'm going to notice something important that I was about to lose sight of in my unbusy everyday life.

Huge cedar with overwhelming presence

When I drive north from the seaside, it is "Kabura Cedar", which is about 600 years old to be seen along the prefectural road. The trunk, which is divided into six trees from the vicinity of the base and extends high to about 40 meters in height, is impressive. The more you see, the more you feel the wonder and strength of nature. Put yourself in the forest, bask in negative ions and relax your mind and body. Also one of the "Oki three large cedar", "Iwakura no breast cedar", which has 24 large and small breast-shaped roots hanging from the trunk, is a must.

Luxury time to enjoy the grace of Oki with the five senses

In the Oki Islands, which consist of islands large and small, the only travel from island to island is by sea. From the port of Saigō, the gateway after the island, take a ferry to the port of Hishiura in Shimmae and Ashi-cho. The geopark base facility "Entô" is nestled by the sea, which is a 3-minute walk away. All 36 rooms are oceanfront and feel like it blends into nature. For dinner, you can indulge in the bounty of Oki, which was nurtured by the rich sea and fertile earth. The luxury of the real thing to have seasonal things in the season. The energy of nature, which catches with the five senses, imbues into the exhausted mind and body.

Good edge power to heart rock

After having a full breakfast, walk around the island. Soon to be seen is the Meiya coast, where the contrast between the red wall and the azure sea is beautiful. It is said that the "Tarai" and "Foliage" used by the goddess in her birth remained as rocks, floating on the surface of the sea. The heart-shaped hole that was vacated in that "Fingbairwa" is popular as a power spot of love fulfillment. I find myself enchanted by the mysterious beauty of figuration brought about by the eruption activity of about 2.8 million years ago. The miracle of nature and the eternal time seems to give strength to us who live now.

Stroll through the sea of an unknown mystery

The sea of Oki is so crystal clear that you can see the fish just by looking in from the shore. On the semi-submersible observation ship "Amanbo", you can enjoy the emerald green world underwater and from the water. While I'm on board, I'm watching the fish that swim around and the big seaweed that sways around, and I feel like I'm strolling in the ocean. It is said that the amniotic fluid, which was entrusted to the body when it was a fetus, and sea water are made of almost the same composition of elements. Let's take off the armour of our hearts and feel ourselves as we are while we are wrapped in the Mother Sea.

Enjoy brand cows born and raised in Oki

After the underwater walk, go to the "Island-born Island-raised Oki Beef Store" in front of the port of Hishiura. One of the few shops where you can enjoy the phantom Oki beef in Oki, and as the name suggests, you can enjoy the authentic brand beef born and raised in the nature of Oki. In addition to vitamin B1, which leads to beautiful skin, beef containing plenty of zinc, which can be expected to be effective in preventing antioxidant effects and rough skin, is a source of beauty. Eat Oki beef with a refreshing taste even when marbling, and become beautiful from inside your body.

257 meters high dynamic cliff wall

When you fill your stomach, go to the "Ma Tenkaku", the scenic spot of Oki Number One. It is a 257-meter-high cliff-edge wall on the Kunigo coast in the town of Nishinoshima, next to the town of Ama. The scenery where one of Japan's leading sea cliffs rises vertically from the sea is stunning. The 360-degree panorama, where the sea and the sky blend together, doesn't stay in the same scenery for a moment, and you forget your time and get in. Horses and cattle graze on the plateau, and they can touch each other in the blue sky and green. Therapy effects that create energy for tomorrow are also likely.
