Himakajima Island floats in Mikawa Bay and has a circumference of Approx. 5.5 km, with the entire island designated as part of Mikawa Bay Quasi-National Park. Climb the stairs leading up from Sunrise Beach near East Port, and you’ll find the Lovers’ Swing facing the sea.

A log seat is suspended by ropes from a large pine tree, and it is wide enough for two adults to sit side by side. It is also said that if a couple rides it together, they will find happiness. Once you get the swing moving, the sea and sky open up right in front of you! Enjoy the exhilarating feeling of soaring out over the open water. The deck is also neatly maintained, making this a popular scenic photo spot. At sunrise and sunset, you’re sure to be captivated by the ever-changing colors of the sea and sky.

Himakajima Island is also known for its excellent seafood, including pufferfish and octopus, and is packed with attractions such as a police box modeled after an octopus and ancient burial mounds. After enjoying the Lovers’ Swing, take some time to explore the island.
