OVERVIEW

Although called Kujukushima (lit. 99 Islands and referring to the fact that there are so many) there are approximately 208 tiny islands in the area.
Located inside the Saikai National Park, the area has been registered in the "Most Beautiful Bays in the World" club.
The sparkling, nutrient rich ocean here contains treasures such as pearls and oysters.

The coast is dotted with observatories and look-outs to admire the scenery and not to mention the shimmering orange sunset display that mother nature puts on here!
In fact, the evening view from Yumiharidake appeared in the movie “The Last Samurai” as an emblem of Japanese coastal beauty.

At the Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort, the focal point of the Ninety-Nine Islands adventure, you can take an excursion boat, rent a kayak, or visit the aquarium Umikirara to get a closer look at the amazing sea creatures populating the waters around the islands.
