Although small, Sado island<\/strong> has various kinds of landscapes<\/strong> to be seen. Most recently I had the chance to explore the fishing village of Shukunegi<\/strong> on the side of Ogi. Shukunegi offers a special type of authenticity<\/strong>, with its wooden houses<\/strong>, narrow alleys<\/strong>, and canals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shukunegi, a Charming Fishing Village<\/h2>\n

Shukunegi<\/strong> is a village located on the coast of Ogi. It developed throughout the 17th century because of its harbor. Shukunegi is characterized by narrow alleys<\/strong> and over one hundred houses<\/strong> covered with boards taken from old boats. The village is very beautiful, and has been declared as a National Important Preservation Area for Traditional Buildings and Architecture<\/strong>. We strolled along a canal that crosses the entire village. Shukunegi is a real gem, and really looks like a museum<\/strong> because it is so authentic and well preserved. As you wander, you will come across the Sankakuya house<\/strong>, the post office which was established in 1921<\/strong>, the Shoukoji temple<\/strong>, and the Kanekoya residence<\/strong> … At the entrance of the village, you can get a small map<\/a> to make sure you hit all of these wonders during your walk.<\/p>\n

About 3km from the village of Shukunegi, there is a stunning viewpoint<\/strong> of the Chojagabashi bridge<\/strong> where you can appreciate the beauty of the Ogi coast and Fukaura village with its volcanic rocks<\/strong>, vegetation<\/strong> and turquoise water<\/strong>. Like a Haven!<\/p>\n
