Shibushi Wan
Shibushi Wan, a smaller port
on
Kyushu Island, offers a tranquil respite for weary sailors. After securing your
ship, take a stroll along the scenic coastline and soak in the beauty of the Pacific
Ocean. Visit the nearby Udo Shrine, a Shinto shrine nestled on a rocky outcrop,
accessible by a vermilion-colored torii gate bridge. Shopping options near the
port might be limited, but don't despair! Head to the nearby city of Shibushi for a
delightful surprise. Explore local shops selling traditional Japanese crafts and
ceramics, or pick up some unique souvenirs to commemorate your voyage. For a
taste of land, head to "Furo An," a harborside restaurant known for its
delicious seafood dishes, or "Shibushi Donburi," a local favorite serving
up savory seafood rice bowls. Nightlife in Shibushi Wan is low-key, but you might find a hidden gem like "Izakaya
Watanabe," a cozy pub perfect for enjoying a quiet drink and conversation
with fellow sailors.
