Hime Hijiki Salt House

Experience Hall / Accommodation Experience (Training) Facility

This agriculture, forestry, and fisheries activity facility is located adjacent to Kajigahama Beach, a beautiful stretch of white sand and green pines. Here you can make Hime Hijiki Salt, a natural variety of salt which contains an abundance of calcium and other minerals. This salt is made by hand by adding hime hijiki (hijiki seaweed buds) to natural seawater from Shimo-kamagari and boiling it to concentrate, which draws out the innate flavors of the ingredients used and results in a salt that has a mild and slightly sweet flavor. You can put your salt in a Hime Hijiki Salt plastic product bag to take home as a souvenir.
