A four-day voyage to relax amid historical landscapes and island vistas
Stretching from Onomichi in Hiroshima to Kaminoseki in Yamaguchi, this 4-day cruise is a chance to enjoy the best of the western Seto Inland Sea. Weaving through a number of Setouchi’s distinctive narrow straits, including the Onomichi Strait and Ondo Strait, guntû explores waters that have been criss-crossed since ancient times by fishermen and merchants who prayed to deities on many islands for protection at sea. Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima, worshipped by the powerful lord Taira-no-kiyomori in the 12th century, is one such place. Iwaishima, known for its lanes lined by stone walls, is also recorded in ancient poems as the home to a deity of safe passage. The ship traces routes that have been at the heart of commerce for centuries, passing places such as Yanai, a port town that flourished as a trading hub, allowing you to enjoy Setouchi’s timeless scenery and the beauty of its countless islands.
