SPOT
Kamome-jima Island
Overview
In the past, when Kamome-jima Island was still called Bentenjima, this island, which built a good natural harbor, was the stage for herring fishing and trading on the Kitamae-bune. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of Esashi began on Seagull Island. Now, this beautiful natural islet, designated as a special area of Hinoyama Provincial Natural Park, is loved and cherished by many people as a symbol of Esashi. Why not start your sightseeing tour of Esashi with a visit to Seagull Island, which is 20 meters above sea level and 2.6 km in circumference?
