Drifting

A four-day voyage to drift leisurely across western Setouchi

Countless islands fill the waters to the west of guntû’s home port in Onomichi. guntû is able to pass through narrow straits thanks to its small size—just 81 meters long and 13 meters wide—offering an up-close view of a unique seascape that melds Setouchi island scenery with modern industry. While the Seto Inland Sea appears placid, the tidal flows in these waters create strong currents. Like navigators in past eras, guntû constantly adjusts its route depending on the tides. Catch glimpses of the rhythms of local life from just off the shore of islands, as scenes of fishing and farming, bridges and ferries, and the faint glow of village lights flow past the windows of your suite. This route explores the classic Setouchi landscapes that remain west of Onomichi.
