Westward

A four-day voyage to relax amid historical landscapes and island vistas

From our home port of Bella Vista Marina in Onomichi, guntû travels slowly westward towards Kaminoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture. In these quintessential Setouchi waters, you can enjoy a unique combination of the Inland Sea’s beautiful island chains, temples and shrines, and modern industry. For centuries before overland travel improved, travelers and merchants sailed along vital sea routes through Setouchi that carried products from Kyushu and across Asia to the capitals of Japan's emperors and shoguns. Glimpses of this old Setouchi can still be seen in the local culture passed down on Iwaishima, the prosperous merchant houses of Yanai, and the lifestyle of islanders on Kashima.
