Embark on a journey to an island where nature and people harmonize — Oki Islands, Dōzen Area.

◾️What is the Dōzen Area? The "Oki Islands" are located in the Sea of Japan. Among them, the Dōzen Area consists of three islands: Nishinoshima, Ama Town (Nakanoshima), and Chiburijima. These islands are close enough to travel between by ferry or high-speed boat. Each island has its own unique charm, offering a travel experience where you can immerse yourself in both nature and local life. 🚢 ◾️Breathtaking natural beauty and stunning views 🌊 One of the iconic landscapes of the Dōzen Area is "Matengai Cliff" on Nishinoshima. Here, you can witness grazing cows and horses leisurely roaming atop towering cliffs, creating an extraordinary scene. On Chiburijima, the "Red Cliff" (Sekiheki) features striking crimson cliffs that form a magical view when paired with the setting sun. Ama Town offers tranquil fishing village scenery surrounded by crystal-clear seas and lush mountains. 🌾 ◾️Experience "living tourism" through human connection In the Dōzen Area, you can enjoy a journey that goes beyond sightseeing to truly experience local life. In Ama Town, you can try fishing activities or learn about the culture of island schooling. Nishinoshima offers unique experiences like bull sumo and fishing, while Chiburijima invites you to connect with warm-hearted locals in small villages. The islanders welcome visitors not as "guests" but as "companions," leaving you with a sense of warmth and healing. ☺️ ◾️An island where nature and people coexist The Oki Dōzen Area is a serene yet unforgettable destination where grand nature and human life harmonize. Explore all three islands and savor their individual charms on your "island journey." 🛳️ ◾️Access Ferry: Approximately 2–3 hours from Shichirui Port in Shimane Prefecture or Sakaiminato Port in Tottori Prefecture. Airplane: You can also reach the Dōzen Area via Oki Airport (on Dōgo Island). *Travel between the islands in the Dōzen Area is possible via high-speed boats or ferries.
