Minamichita

Located at the southern tip of Chita Peninsula, Minamichita extends across 38 square kilometers between Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay, featuring numerous fishing ports.

The town celebrates numerous maritime festivals throughout the year, including the Toyohama Tai Festival and Shinojima Nojima Festival, honoring fishing traditions.

Visitors can access 180 accommodation options, ranging from traditional inns to hotels, with most establishments accommodating around 50 guests per facility.

Shinojima district leads Japan in young sardine catches and produces specialty dried conger eels and octopus, which are displayed outdoors to dry.
