Have fun talking with local people in a super smiley environment.

Shioya is a quaint peaceful fishing village nestled in a valley. It takes about 15 minutes from JR Kobe station and 40 minutes from Osaka station.

First, let’s go to the harbor. Enjoy a photogenic view of Mt Rokko, Awaji island, the Pearl bridge, even Kansai airport across the sea on a sunny day. Also, you can see Nori (seaweed) facrory when it opens（only Dec to Mar） and you can buy it on outlet price.

Then through the tunnel, we’ll go into SHIOYA town. I’d like you to know about real Japanese daily life.
I want to share my local vision with you, visiting a barber shop which has more than 100 years of history, a tatami factory, and our beautiful heritage Guggenheim house, and others when they are open.

While walking, let’s enjoy various local snacks & drinks and communication with friendly local people.
