Features
We can guide you through activities that will give you a taste of island life and daily life. Some of the most popular activities to enjoy in the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea are SUP, fishing to enjoy the flavors of the Seto Inland Sea, and low mountain trekking with a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea. Ride your bike through the towns and mountains, and dive into the life of the island. https://yokado-kirikushi.studio.site/activity
SUP
SUP in the Seto Inland Sea where you can feel the beauty of the archipelago. Beginners can easily try paddle sports in the Seto Inland Sea, where the waves are calm. Passing through the islands, taking a break on a quiet sandy beach, and taking a walk on the sea while feeling the nature and air of the Seto Inland Sea is sure to be a special moment.
Mountain climbing/Mt. Furutaka
Mt. Furutaka can be climbed on foot from Kirikushi Port. From the top, you can see the contrast between the island and the sea, the Seto Inland Sea, and the cities of Hiroshima and Kure in the distance. The 70km long cycling road that runs along the coastline from Etajima Kirikushi Port to Kure Port is called the “Kakishima Kaido” and offers a variety of views of the Seto Inland Sea, from seaside roads to hill climbing spots, from the city center to Kure’s industrial area. I can.
cycling
About Etajima City and the Kirikushi district of Etajima City Etajima City, which is made up of Etajima and Nomijima in the eastern part of Hiroshima Bay, and islands scattered around them, is a 30-minute boat ride from Hiroshima City. On the other side of the world-famous tourist destination of Hiroshima City, you will find the serene scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, where the beauty of the archipelago spreads out, and the lives of the people of each season. Kirikushi is the closest to Hiroshima City in Etajima City, and many people commute to Hiroshima City and Kure City. It is said that the shrine came to be called Kirikushi because there was a shrine built using leftover wood from the construction of Itsukushima Shrine. Currently, the number of immigrants in their 20s and 30s is increasing in this area.

Etajima City Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team: Vacant House Utilization Director
Kosuke Hagusa
YOKADO KIRIKUSHI / Kirikushi Coastal Village Manager
Local Revitalization Cooperation Team “Vacant House Utilization Director” Kosuke Hagusa
I was appointed as the Director of Vacant House Utilization for the Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team, and have been working hard every day to create a new vacant house utilization model, an “vacant house complex.”
This place, which was just an empty house, gradually grew through interactions with various people, including a shop, an inn, and people from overseas coming to stay.
Thank you very much to everyone who was involved and supported us. We are still at a passing point, so we would like to continue to liven up the Kirikushi area of Etajima City by working together with many people to create a fun spot.
The concept of this inn is “Peaceful leisure time on an island in the Seto Inland Sea”.
Etajima, 30 minutes from the ferry, is surrounded by rich nature and has a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Please come and experience the daily life on the island.

The concept of “B side of tourism”
Crossing the ocean and heading to the island on the other side feels like going on an adventure and is exciting. As we watched the ever-changing scenery, we arrived at a quiet port. If you climb the small mountain in front of you and look out over the Seto Inland Sea, you can see the city of Hiroshima in the distance. I rode my bicycle along the coastline bathed in the setting sun and found a memorial monument on the calm shore. Although there are no tourist attractions, there are stories hidden in the area that can only be found there. On the island on the opposite shore was Hiroshima, which I didn’t know about.
