Shopping street of Tojinbo

Ouike and sightseeing boats

This is a route that passes through the shopping lane of Tojinbo whose shops lines up in a row and reaches the observation terrace near the rocky area by the sea commonly known as Ouike which literally means in Japanese “a big pond”. Many tourists take pictures with a signboard of “Tojinbo” put up in Ouike and grand view of the Japan Sea against them. Boarding point of sightseeing boats of Tojinbo is also located in Ouike. This is the spot we recommend to people who want to enjoy spectacular view besides having lunch and buying some souvenirs in a limited amount of time. Biting into hot, broiled squid or Japanese scallop while walking slowly down this lane looking at shops on each side of it is also one of the typical ways to enjoy Tojinbo.

Spectacular view of Oshima Island

Strolling route full of greenery

This is the course where you walk for about ten minutes along the promenades stretching into two opposite directions from the observation terrace. If you walk to the left, you can see strange-shaped rocks called Lion Rock and Candle Rock. This is known as a vista point for spectacular sunset where photographers love to take pictures. If you walk to the right, you will see two rocks called “Couple Rocks” that look like a happy husband and wife. This route is recommended to people who want to avoid noisy places and walk slowly and calmly. If you take a sightseeing boat and look at all these strange-shaped rocks from the distance, you can find why they got their peculiar names.

Ariso promenade

Vermillion bridge leading to Oshima Island

This is a walking course which stretches from Tojinbo to Ariso promenade and also from Tojinbo cliffs to Oshima Island, each of which stretches for 2 km and it takes you 30 minutes to walk respectively. If you have extra time and physical strength, please do try these courses. Ariso promenade is also called “a walking course of literature” where you can find slabs with a haiku cut on them composed by men of letters and poets, including haiku poets related to Mikuni such as Jun Takami, Tatsuji Miyoshi, and so on. Another promenade leading to Oshima Island also known as an island of God is a walking course that heals your mind. While walking, you can see peaceful daily life of a fishing village. The view of Tojinbo seen from Oshima Island after crossing a vermillion bridge leading to this island is another wonderful sight to see. When you walk along these courses, we recommend you to wear shoes you are accustomed to wearing for walking.
