    This is a sightseeing attraction located in the Senkaku Bay quasi-national park which is renowned for its beautiful coastline and is designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty. One can see an unbroken view of magnificent Senkaku Bay at the Yusenkyo suspension bridge that was used as a location in a film and also the observatory just after crossing the bridge. From around mid-March to the end of November visitors can ride a glass-bottomed boat that tours around Senkaku Bay to appreciate the beauty of the bay and the ocean up close.

    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Washizaki Magazine
    Hajikizaki Lighthouse, built in 1919, is located in the northernmost cape of Sado Island, in Washizaki, Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. The white, octagonal lighthouse has been built on the beautiful cape surrounded by the vast sea from where both the sunset and sunrise can be seen. The lighthouse is known as the location of the film Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo ikutoshitsuki, otherwise known as The Lighthouse or Times of Joy and Sorrow, directed by Keisuke Kinoshita, and which tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife. Next to the lighthouse is a statue of the couple which commemorates the film. The lighthouse is open to the public only one day a year on the day of the Sado Kanzo (licorice) Festival in June.

  • Osado Skyline
    Travel / Tourism
    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Kanai area - Aikawa area
    This almost 30-kilometer-long driving course that connects Kanai and Aikawa gives a lovely panoramic view of Sado Island and is just a 15-minute drive from Ryotsu Port. The highest point of the drive stands over 900 meters above sea level and from there you can see Mano Bay, Ryotsu Bay, the Kuninaka Plains, and the Kosado Mountain Range, making this the perfect place to see the changing faces of the island from season to season. At the Exchange Center Hakundai you'll find shops and observation platforms giving you a chance to take a break as you enjoy the scenery. The stunning autumn colors are on display every year from late October to around early November. There is no toll but starting late November the road is closed for the winter.

  • Shukunegi
    Travel / Tourism
    Nigata Pref. Sadoshi Shukunegi
    Shukunegi is a village on the southern tip of Sadogashima Island. From the latter half of the Edo period to the early Meiji period it was a port of call on the Kitamaebune shipping route leading to it becoming a prosperous port town. In those days the rows of houses facing the tiny bay were largely built by shipwrights. The looks of these buildings are largely unchanged from those times leading to their selection for Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings. Some of these private residences such as Seikuro and Kanekoya are able to be toured for a fee. While the exteriors may be plain inside you'll find lacquered central pillars and extravagant interior designs. Ask about how those who made their fortunes from the Kitamaebune ships lived their lives.
