Tarai-bune Settlement in Ogi, Sado

The Ogi area at the southern tip of Sado Island is a scenic region dotted with small fishing villages along its intricately complex coastline. Tarai-bune boats were originally fishing tools used for harvesting wakame seaweed and turban shells; today, tourists can also experience rides in them. The view of rocky reefs seen from a gently swaying tarai-bune gliding over clear waters is a breathtaking landscape unique to Sado. A stroll through the alleys of the settlement offers glimpses into the traditional life of a fishing village.
