[Ainan Town x Seiyo City Joint Project] 2-Day 1-Night Tour Tracing the Life of Nanyo

About this event

Jointly planned by Ainan Town and Seiyo City in Ehime Prefecture, the "2-Day 1-Night Tour Tracing the Life of Nanyo" is a precious opportunity to experience the two lifestyles of Nanyo: the sea and the rural village. On the first day, you will connect with coastal life in Ainan Town, enjoying unique experiences such as cooking dishes using local red sea bream, the "Unikkori" experience of cracking open sea urchins to eat, and searching for "chirimen monsters" (tiny sea creatures mixed into dried young sardines). A dinner savoring fresh seafood is also an attractive feature. On the second day, you will travel to the Sekijo district in Uwa Town, Seiyo City, to experience rural village life. You can touch farming village culture through making "waraguro" (straw mounds) and cooking rice in a hagama pot over a traditional kamado stove, feeling the warmth of connecting with local residents. After walking along Kasagi Pass with a local guide to take in stunning views of the Uwa Basin and the Uwa Sea, the tour concludes with a straw mammoth cookie souvenir. Limited to a small group of up to 10 people, these two days let you fully savor the charms of Nanyo while deepening interactions with local residents.
