Like Castle in the Sky Laputa! Hiking on the mysterious island of Tomogashima

Grading: 

We will go hiking on Tomogashima, an uninhabited island in Wakayama Prefecture! It is an approximately 5km course that even beginners can enjoy. Ruins such as old artillery batteries remain, allowing you to experience a world reminiscent of scenes from anime. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Kitan Strait, making it a very refreshing course. After returning from Tomogashima, we will also visit Awashima Shrine, famous for its doll memorial services. ※ Since the meeting time is early, please be mindful if you are coming from a distant location. For those coming by car, please select the meeting place at Kada Port and head directly there.
