Shimotsui, Maritime town in Kojima Area, Japan
The town extends along the coast near the Great Seto Bridge, featuring traditional wooden houses and narrow streets leading to the fishing port.
Shimotsui functioned as a major trading port during the Edo period, serving as a relay point for cotton and herring meal transportation via Kitamae ships.
The Shimotsui Gion Shrine stands as a spiritual center where locals gather for the first sunrise viewing ceremony of each new year.
Visitors reach Shimotsui by taking the JR Seto-ohashi line to Kojima station, followed by an hourly Shimoden bus service to the town.
The Mukashi Shimotsui Kaisen Wholesale House contains a converted herring warehouse that now functions as an event space and local product market.
