Setonaikai National Park
Setonaikai National Park is characterized by its scenery of calm seas and many islands.
The view of the archipelago from boats, bridges connecting Shikoku and Honshu, and small observation points changes from season to season and from hour to hour, so visitors will never get tired of visiting this area again and again.
Another attraction of a trip to the Seto Inland Sea is the opportunity to experience the calm sea through activities such as SUP and sea kayaking, which can be enjoyed by first-timers, and to enjoy local cuisine along with approximately 400 varieties of seasonal fish and seafood.
Even in well-known tourist destinations that travelers are familiar with, such as Miyajima and Mt. Rokko, a little further into the region, you will discover a deeper culture and history, see how people live up close, and get a sense of a region that is still unknown to you.
Setouchi is a place where you can travel as if you were living there, enjoying the old townscapes, original island landscapes, and casual conversations with the locals.
Even the means of transportation, such as island hopping by boat or bicycle, and yachting, are part of the experience.
Glamping, sea kayaking, and lunch on a deserted island are just a few of the activities that you can enjoy while relaxing and having an experience that you cannot have in everyday life.
Visitors can learn about the nature, history, and lifestyle of the island through its history, industrial facilities, and artwork, and experience a time of reflection through travel.
The island is easily accessible from the Tokyo metropolitan area and can be used as a short trip or a place to relax on weekends.

Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park
Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park is located in the southwestern part of Shikoku and stretches from western Kochi Prefecture to southwestern Ehime Prefecture, covering the coast, offshore islands and inland areas with valleys.
The Ashizuri area of Kochi Prefecture is a place of dynamic topography, with sheer cliffs, caves formed by erosion by the sea, and mysterious rock formations that look like planets seen in movies, as well as the azure sea.
The Uwakai region of Ehime Prefecture is home to the intricate and delicate rias coastline, islands offshore, and valleys that are famous for their autumn foliage in the fall. Both areas are influenced by the Kuroshio Current.
Both areas are influenced by the Kuroshio Current, but the topography, natural formation, and fishing methods are different, and one of the charms of Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park is the variety of local features that reflect the way people interact with nature.
In the Ashizuri area, there are many marine activities such as snorkeling, diving, and glass-bottom boats that allow visitors to enjoy the undersea coral scenery.
In the mountainous area, canyoning down canyons and trekking with akebono azaleas, which bloom in early May, are popular.
