The ruins of Shichi Castle are said to have once been the castle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's military strategist Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake. The representative of the "Society for Preserving Shichi Castle," which is dedicated to preserving the castle every day, will guide you through this precious historic site, which was an important base for the Awaji Navy under Hideyoshi. Located in Shichi, Minami Awaji City, near the Seto Inland Sea and the Naruto Strait, Shichi Castle is said to have been built by Suga Izuminokami Michitada during the Kamakura period, and was surrendered in 1581 when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Awaji. After that, it was guarded by his vassal Kuroda Kanbei (Kuroda Yoshitaka), and from 1585, Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake, became the lord of the castle. The Awaji Navy, which had Shichi Castle as one of its bases, achieved great success in Hideyoshi's conquests of Kyushu, Odawara, and Korea, and there is no doubt that Awaji Island and Shichi Castle were important naval bases for Hideyoshi. However, the valuable historical site where Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki once lived has been swallowed up by bamboo forests in recent years and is on the verge of being forgotten by local residents. At that time, the local volunteers "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" stood up, worried that the valuable remains would disappear if things continued like this. In order to let many people, not just the locals, know about the Shichi Castle ruins and to pass on the story to future generations, they have been clearing the bamboo forest every day for about five years, and have been carrying out maintenance activities such as installing entrance roads and signs. This is a tour of the Shichi Castle ruins guided by Mr. Sekiguchi, the representative of the "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" who has a stronger passion for Shichi Castle than anyone else! The Shichi Castle ruins are currently being maintained, and recently wells and stones that are thought to be old stupas from that time have been discovered one after another. Perhaps you, as a participant of the tour, will discover an important relic! ■Experience schedule (if departing at 10:00) 10:00 Meet at the parking lot (north side of Shichi Castle ruins, across the street from the main entrance of Super Marunaka *see photo below) 10:00-10:05 Use the handmade sign as a landmark to move to the remains of the Honmarudai 10:05-10:15 Guide explains the history and characteristics of Shichi Castle 10:15-10:55 After viewing the remains such as the Taiko stone, the remains of the turret, and the old well, walk around the moat to Ise Shrine and Shomyo-ji Temple 10:55-11:00 Return to the parking lot and disband

Surrounded by nature at the foot of a small hill, Shunyoso shows off the graceful expressions of the four seasons that are unique to Japanese-style architecture. The owner, who is also a certified old house appraiser, will guide you through the house and explain the traditional techniques that are difficult to reproduce today, the design that highlights the playfulness of the craftsmen, and the immeasurable historical and cultural value. After the tour, Shunyoso will quickly transform into a sweets shop. Enjoy an elegant moment with tea and Japanese sweets in an elegant space. Shunyoso is a masterpiece of modern Japanese architecture that was designed in 1941 by architect Toyoen Yamamoto, an authority on the study of home orientation, based on the ideas of feng shui, and was completed over a period of seven years by local carpenter Sankichi Saito and others. Further on, in 1983, the walls, gateposts, doors and gardens were renovated by architect Izue Hiroshi, who was even called a "master" by the famous architect Kurokawa Kisho, and they now harmonize beautifully to create a magnificent architectural landscape. The vast grounds of 1320m2 (approximately 1,400m2) contain eight buildings, including the guest house, storehouse, reception hall, sleeping hall and permanent residence, and in 2004 it was designated as a nationally registered tangible cultural property, and in 2017 it was designated as an important structure for the formation of the Hyogo Prefectural Landscape. However, with the aging of the population and a social trend in recent years that only pursues efficiency, it became difficult for the previous owner to maintain and manage the buildings, and they gradually deteriorated, leading to a long period of time when the gates were closed. The turning point came in 2015. In order to preserve this precious cultural asset for future generations, the fourth-generation owner purchased it and began repairs and renovations. Finally, in October 2016, Shunyo-so was revived and reborn as a new international tourist resource for Awaji Island. In this experience program, the owner himself will guide you through the house, explaining the charms of the house, such as the traditional techniques that are difficult to reproduce today, the building materials that are also difficult to obtain today, the designs that highlight the playfulness of the craftsmen scattered throughout, and the elegant furnishings, based on the historical background of Shunyo-so. Please enjoy this space, which is filled with history and culture and represents the best of traditional techniques, to the fullest. After the tour, you will be served tea and Japanese sweets in the tea room or one of your choice. Please enjoy not only as a precious cultural asset, but also as a sweet shop. *Guides in English are also available, so we can accommodate customers from overseas. *A five-minute walk from Shunyoso is the historic and prestigious "Takenoguchi Hachiman Shrine," which celebrated its 1,100th anniversary in 2021.

It was an incredible experience. It was one of m’y husband’s dreams and it really matched his expectations. As an observer, it was also great to watch and to learn so much. Sensei Masahiro is a great swordsmith, but also a great teacher and easy to talk to. Our interpret Jean did a great job. He is really good to switch from one language to another and we felt that he was used to work with sensei Masahiro. It was easier for the explanations. We highly recommend this activity which was fantastic

"Coral Reef Snorkeling Tour - Take photos with some of Yoron Island's best corals! - Recommended for families and groups! Yoron Island is surrounded by coral reefs! The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean has active tidal movements, so many creatures gather there. You can enjoy the underwater world that you normally can't see, such as the crystal clear blue-green sea, colorful tropical fish, and the dynamic topography of the coral reef. It takes about 5 minutes by boat from the beach to the experience point, so even those who get seasick can rest assured! Point 1 [Encounter about 400 types of coral and colorful creatures] The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean has clean seawater circulating, so the coral grows healthily and you can see schools of large and small fish around it. This is an experience point where you can feel closer to the rich ecosystem created by the coral reef! Point 2 [The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean is the entrance to a wide ocean] Facing the open ocean, the outer side of the coral reef where the swells of the open sea collide has a steep slope that drops off to the deep seabed, and the blue of the sea changes from pale emerald green to a deep blue. You can experience the large-scale topography of the coral reef and the mysterious and beautiful underwater world created by the creatures! Point 3 [We operate with the motto of having the safest possible fun!] We believe that the most important thing in activities in the sea is safety. In addition to the skills of the guide, we also have a lifeguard on the beach/coast, and we thoroughly manage safety. We have created an environment where families and groups can play with peace of mind! Point 4 [Convenient facilities such as lockers, showers, and rest areas!] This is the only place on Yoron Island where you can find such convenient facilities! In particular, this may be the only place where you can take a warm shower in a private room after playing in the sea! !

This is definitely a recommended plan for those who want to enjoy Hokkaido's winter to the fullest. Depart from Sapporo and experience snowshoeing and dog sledding in the Furano and Biei-machi areas, central Hokkaido. Enjoy local gourmet food, soak in the hot springs, and then enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel before heading home. We recommend the one-day adventure course. Our guides recommend this exciting adventure, where the sights change depending on the season.
Excellent tour!!! Our guide Kishi was great and we had an overall great experience. The only but for this tour is that the dog sledding is only 2 very short laps of about 1 minute each. I wish the dog sledding was at least 30 minute long. Everything else was really good.
