I can't turn my eyes away from the scenery of Shimanami-kaido that suddenly appears in front of me! And also I recognized the design of this observatory was very refined. To my surprised, an architect known in the world, Kengo Kuma designed here. There's nothing that obstructs the view, but only handrails.◎Access: by bike or car to Oshima Island. Parking: available and free. Admission fee: free

I bought at a stall. Green lemons grown in Iwaki Island make a nice degree of sourness. Non-oil. They say it's sold at a Kurushima Kaikyo SA.

There're 1800 pieces of colorful cheese winding of yarn used for towel, and this photogenic wall is so lovely to take pictures!◎Entrance fee: adult 800yen. The yarn wound like a chunk of natural cheese, so these're called as cheese winding.

The area was a territory of Murakami Suigun (pirate), and said to be the most dangerous place in the sea for the fast swirling currents. You can enjoy the nice scenery, and the thrill of getting into the currents!◎The swirling current becomes fastest around Noshima Island. And the second going under the bridge is also the highlight. For about 40 min, adult 1000yen. The speed of current changes by season.
