Hiuchi Sea, Maritime region in Kagawa and Ehime Prefectures, Japan

Hiuchi Sea forms a section of the Seto Inland Sea between Kagawa and Ehime Prefectures, containing multiple islands and diverse marine environments. The waters are surrounded by coastal settlements linked together by ferry routes.

These waters served as an important trade route from ancient times, connecting the Kansai region with Kyushu and supporting maritime commerce across Japan. Over centuries, this connection played a key role in the country's economic development.

Local fishing communities work according to traditional methods passed down through generations, with seasonal celebrations tied to the rhythm of the sea. These customs shape everyday life along the shores today.

Ferries connect various ports around the waters and allow visitors to explore the coastal communities and islands at their own pace. The best way to experience the area is by hopping between landing points from the water.

The waters are home to specific fish species and aquatic plants that play a special role in local cuisine and fishing practices. These marine resources shape the character of regional gastronomy in ways visitors can taste and experience directly.
