【DETAILS】

◇Regular pleasure boat to visit "Hotokegaura," designated as a nation's natural monument
About 20 million years ago, when the Japanese archipelago was separated from the Eurasian continent, which created the Sea of ​​Japan, a massive submarine volcanic activity occurred. It is considered that the original form of Hotokegaura was formed at this time. Please take a look at "Hotokegaura," a superb view formed with gigantic rocks of various shapes like a natural sculpture!

◇Sea urchin shelling experience
3 sea urchins are provided per person. All the sea urchins landed in Sai Village are carefully shelled and shipped out. The process of cracking the shell, treating the internals, and cleaning it has a great influence on the taste depending on its skill. You will experience the handwork of shelling sea urchin that has been cultivated over many years. This project has been carried out with the desire to make you feel familiar with the sea urchins of Sai Village and enjoy them. Experienced instructors carefully explain each work and answer questions, so that even those who are unfamiliar with the handling of seafood can participate with confidence.
