Discover the charm of Ibukijima, a small but captivating island off the coast of Kagawa, known as the birthplace of Japan’s famous iriko (dried sardines). Stepping onto the island feels like entering another world — quiet lanes, traditional houses, and the aroma of freshly sun-dried fish set the scene for a truly authentic Setouchi experience.
As you wander through the fishing port and hillside village, you’ll see daily island life unfold against the backdrop of the sparkling Seto Inland Sea. From scenic viewpoints, the panorama of ocean and neighboring islands is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the sea glows with golden light.
Ibukijima is a rare destination where time slows down, offering travelers a glimpse of Japan’s enduring maritime traditions. Whether you’re sampling local delicacies, meeting friendly islanders, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, this hidden gem promises memories you’ll treasure long after your journey.
