We want visitors to listen to, see, and feel the charms of the Seto Inland Sea islands beyond their art—and take a bit of island time home with them.
This is a project launched by island‑loving team members with that very hope in mind.
The name “Shimarebi” comes from a combination of the Japanese for “sunlight filtering through the island trees” and the English “review,” representing a reconsideration of the value these islands hold.

How about a Ferry Schedule?
Many of the islands in Okayama and Kagawa are accessible within an hour by boat.

Connections are often difficult, so it is advisable to check the timetable and make a schedule accordingly.

The Setouchi area has a mild and peaceful climate. But because it is a remote island surrounded by the sea, information on evacuation routes in case of emergency is necessary. If you are unsure, please check the hazard map of your local government before you go out.
