A Trip to Remote Islands to Encounter Cats and Deer [1 Night, 2 Days]

Each island offers its own unique attractions, such as interacting with cats on Tashirojima, the scenery from Dwameki Cape on Amajijima, and the views from the summit of Kinkasan and Koganeyama Shrine. Since the scheduled ferry to Kinkasan runs only on Sundays and the stay is short, we recommend arranging a chartered ferry.Also, please note that ferry service to the islands may be canceled due to weather conditions. During the summer, there are many mountain leeches, so be sure to take thorough precautions before setting out on foot.
