The island is relatively small, making it easy to explore by bicycle or car, with scenic roads winding through pine forests and past quiet fishing villages.Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will appreciate the secluded accommodations often found in the quieter bays, away from the main port. These spots provide stunning sea views and a sense of privacy, superb for relaxing and enjoying the island's natural surroundings. You can spend your days exploring ancient temples or simply unwinding by the water.For travellers interested in local culture and history, staying near Honjima Port or the historic district of Kasashima offers a more engaging experience. Kasashima, a designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, features beautifully preserved Edo-period houses and narrow streets.
