Stretching along the shores of Japan's sparkling Seto Inland Sea, Ushimado
dates back to the 8th Century Manyo Period where industrious fisherman and their simple
boats brought prosperity to this region of gentle waters.
Situated along one of Asia's most important trading routes, this ancient fishing village
served as a haven for travelers from Korea.
