We have something for everyone.
Winter brings mulled wine and star gazing. Crystal clear horizons and welcome onsens.
Spring brings mysterious vistas shrouded in mists, hidden temples and cherry blossoms.
Summer means golden sands, secluded beaches, fireworks, festivals and cold beers.
Autumn a great time for sailing, walking the trails around the islands, clear skies, autumn festivals.

Cycling the Shimanami Kaido Bridges “road and cycle way” then why not combine that with a sailing trip.
