W hen some people think of Japan,
they might imagine bustling cities
and vibrant pop culture, or large temple
complexes with richly decorated buildings.
But many places in Japan, including the
Oki Islands, are far from that. By travelling
here visitors can immerse themselves in
lush natural treasures, uncover local stories
and traditions diligently passed down
through generations, and experience rural
charm largely undiscovered by tourists.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OKI ISLANDS
3 As visitors step o the boat they are welcomed by the
distinctly di erent atmosphere, a peaceful ambience and a
feeling that time goes at a slower pace compared to the out-
side world.
Remote Islands Retreat Whether visitors are waking up at sunrise to see how
the changing skies colour the scenery, staying at a small
guesthouse to cook with local ingredients, or listening to
the sound of the waves and small shing boats passing by,
there are numerous ways to experience the non-rushed,
rural way of life.
