Encounter Tsushima, and discover the gentle romance of a secluded island.

Nestled in the Sea of Japan, between Japan and Korea, Tsushima is like a hidden gem, exuding the tranquility and gentleness unique to small islands. It awaits discovery, promising a dreamy journey for the soul. Stepping into Izuhara is like traveling back in time to the Edo period centuries ago. Ancient buildings line the streets, their wooden structures glowing warmly under the gentle touch of time. The carved window lattices are exquisite and delicate, each hollow and every engraved mark holding stories of the past, narrating the former prosperity and daily life. As you stroll along the stone-paved roads, a crisp sound echoes beneath your feet. In the handicraft shops along the street, artisans are focused on making washi paper and wood carvings, the warmth of their fingertips infusing each piece, carrying on ancient skills. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of wagashi. Take a gentle bite, and the soft outer layer reveals a sweet filling, instantly transporting you back to that old time, warm and comfortable. Arriving at the seaside, you're greeted by crystal-clear waters, the azure blending seamlessly with the sky, blurring the line between sea and horizon. The fine sand glistens golden under the sunlight, and as you step onto it barefoot, it gently envelops your toes with a touch of warmth. The waves gently lap against the shore, creating a pleasant melody—the whisper of the sea, soothing every weary soul. Put on your diving gear and plunge into the underwater world, where a kaleidoscope of colors unfolds before your eyes. Colorful coral reefs grow freely in various shapes, and schools of tropical fish dart and play like lively spirits. Occasionally, you might even encounter a cute sea turtle, all together forming this wondrous underwater kingdom. Tsushima's cuisine is a culinary feast not to be missed. Abundant fishing resources make freshly caught seafood the star of the dining table. Thinly sliced sashimi, tender and translucent, melts in your mouth, releasing a burst of fresh sweetness that captures the essence of the sea. Stewed seafood hot pots bring together various seafood in a rich broth, steaming hot, each mouthful filled with the richness and warmth of the ocean. Paired with chewy and smooth soba noodles, it's a simple yet satisfying meal that leaves a lasting impression. In Tsushima, time seems to slow down, allowing you to savor the accumulation of history and the gifts of nature at every moment. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the world and fully embrace the tranquility and beauty, creating unique and healing travel memories.
