Also known as the “Island of Camellias”, over 300 wild camellia trees bloom on the island in spring. From around Golden Week through late October, visitors can enjoy marine activities such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkeling, and sea kayaking, supported by the island’s combined café and guesthouse, Île d’Or.
