Explore Miyajima & Seto Inland Sea: Sail Boat Adventure with Yamashita Kenichi!

【STORY】

Once aboard a sail boat, the Seto Inland Sea transforms into an adult playground. The stage for this journey, the Seto Inland Sea, is characterized by calm waves and a picturesque landscape formed by over 700 islands. Enjoy an original course tailored to the day's sea conditions and your preferences, all under the watchful eye of the divine island, Miyajima.

When the gentle sea breeze blows, the sail boat hoists its large sails, propelled forward by the power of the wind. The time enveloped only in the sound of waves and wind during sailing feels like a conversation with nature. Whether it's the refreshing sailing at noon or the sailing while admiring the evening sunset, the changing scenery throughout the day is one of the joys of sailing.

The vessel for this adventure is the Orihalkon-go, which circumnavigated the Pacific for three years and two months. Guiding you on this journey is the adventurer Yamashita Kenichi. With achievements like the first solo Japanese ascent of the northwest wall of Yosemite's Half Dome (then the world's steepest wall according to Guinness World Records) and 12 years of experience as the caretaker of Mt. Mikuradake, Yamashita is well-versed in facing nature.

In the year 2000, with school-age and preschool children in tow, Yamashita achieved a family voyage around the Pacific lasting three years and two months. The tales of worldwide adventures and parenting experiences filled with invaluable moments will be revealed on the day itself.

For this day only, why not become an 'adventurer' yourself?

Dropping anchor in a cove, and savoring Yamashita's special espresso is highly recommended. It is said to recreate the most delicious coffee he experienced during the Pacific circumnavigation. Amidst the scenery of oyster rafts floating in the Seto Inland Sea, discovering which cove offers the best espresso experience can be a delightful exploration.

Become an adventurer for a day! The Seto Inland Sea awaits you.
