The hangiri (washtub boat) has served as a fishing tool for generations among the fishermen of the Ogi Peninsula on Sado Island. This cruise along the rocky shore on the handcrafted tub boat, meticulously made from cedar and bamboo nurtured by Sado's nature, is renowned as a must-try experience on the island. As you navigate the sea, the boatman will provide insights with the historic townscape of Shukunegi in the backdrop, immersing you in the essence of your travel.
Opt for the "Calm Waves in Twilight Course," a delightful 15-minute journey, where you can row towards the setting sun, savoring the extraordinary and spectacular view unique to sea level.

Operating throughout the year (closed from late November to mid-March).
