Tomonoura is a compact, walkable port town that’s perfect to explore on foot or by bicycle. You can soak up the history at Fukuzenji Temple and the 17th-century Taichoro, where the views are as famous as the building itself, or wander up to Abuto Kannon perched on a hilltop above the sea. Early risers are rewarded with glowing sunrises over Sensui-jima, while evenings are best spent watching the sun sink behind the Joyato Stone Lighthouse. Food and drink are just as much a part of the experience here, from freshly caught seafood served in local restaurants to a sip of homeishu, a sweet herbal liqueur unique to the area. After a day of exploring, it’s easy to unwind in a hot spring bath or spa at one of Tomonoura’s inns before sitting down to another round of regional specialties.
