SETOUCHI, full day excursion to a small island in the Seto Inland Sea [All Season]
There are 727 islands in the Seto Inland Sea, out of them 87 islands belong to Okayama pref. and 112 belong to Kagawa pref. Responding to your special interests (contemporary art, cats, cycling, mountain trekking, flower watching, fishing village,etc...), also considering the season, I recommend one island for you to visit and make a plan for a day. We discuss the details via email in advance.

“A wonderful day in Okayama!”
We saw a lot on this tour. Important to have an umbrella on hand if touring in June as it rained a bit. Yoko packed a lot into this day which was good. Because it rained the river boats were not operating. We instead walked along the beautiful river bank. Yoko understood and spoke good English.

(9 reviews)Thank you for your nice review. I am very happy to read it. Is your leg all right? We walked long. So I am worried about that. I wish you can get Nintendo tickets. Yoko

“Naoshima Art Island!”
This is an interesting island to visit. Yoko helped us navigate transportation. It does take a fair bit of time to get to the island including a train from Okayama (which can require a transfer), a ferry and local buses on the island. We enjoyed seeing the red and yellow pumpkins. Yoko knows the island well and was able to highlight key sites and told us about the artworks.

(9 reviews)Thank you for your nice review. June is a rainy season in Japan. This year we had a lot of rain. You had a lot of luck. Though the weather forecast said it would rain a lot on both days , we had a little rain and could enjoy the sightseeing in almost all the places without an umbrella. Yoko
