    Cute otters can be seen everywhere at Kashikojima Station. Next to the platform is the “Shima no Kaze” mailbox, which is also cute and eye-catching.

    Kashikojima feels like a sparsely populated, slow-paced little town. Without the noise of tourists, you can enjoy the tranquility of the seaside, which is really nice!

    Besides the pearl shops around town, what left a strong impression on me was the “Ago Kashikojima Post Office.” I picked out a pearl-oyster-shaped postcard there and mailed it to myself, leaving me with a beautiful and precious, pearl-like memory of the trip.

    The whole place has a super slow, relaxing pace. It doesn’t feel like one of those islands packed with tourists. Instead, it has this quiet, upscale resort vibe.

    It’s surrounded by bays and tiny islands, and taking a sightseeing boat feels incredibly soothing. The water is so calm, and it’s super photogenic.
