Ushimado, known as the "Aegean Sea of Japan" is a temperate area of scenic beauty. The gorgeous sea of Ushimado has been enjoyed as a resort with pensions and sailing by many. In recent years, the townscapes of port town reminiscing top prosperity in Bizen, the olive groves at Olive Orchard becoming a signature scene in Setouchi, are among the charms of the history and daily life scenery of Ushimado. The sun setting into the blue has been selected as one of "One Hundred Best Sunsets in Japan", and the Moon Road (moonlight illuminating the ocean surface) leads you to a mystical world.
