Setonaikai National Park

PIXTA

Setonaikai National Park was the first national park in Japan to be designated, along with Unzen and Kirishima, in 1934. The park area is surrounded by the five straits of Akashi, Kitan, Naruto, Kanmon, and Toyoyo, and includes a large area of ocean, islands scattered throughout the area, and landscapes with a view of the islands. The park area covers an area of more than 900,000 hectares, including the sea area, and is the largest national park in Japan. The park features an inland sea landscape of many islands of various sizes. There are many scenic spots along the coastal land areas where visitors can view the islands. The Seto Inland Sea area has been a region where culture flourished from early on and people and nature coexisted in harmony. One of the main features of the area is its friendly landscape where nature and life are integrated, such as terraced fields on islands and port towns where people wait for the tide.
