About Uku Island, Nagasaki Prefecture
Uku Island, where the "Uku Island Green Tourism Promotion Association" is located, is the northernmost island of the Goto Archipelago in Nagasaki Prefecture.
Uku Island is located at the northernmost tip of the Goto Archipelago in Nagasaki Prefecture, and was the location for the movie "The Lion Standing in the Wind" written by Nagasaki's famous artist, Masashi Sada.
The island is bordered by a coastline of crystal clear seawater and white sandy beaches such as Horikawa Beach, Ohama Beach, and Shiode Beach, which were used as filming locations for the movie "The Lion Standing in the Wind," written by Nagasaki's famous artist Masashi Sada. From above, it looks like an island floating in cobalt blue soda water. The 360-degree panoramic view from the observatory on "Jogadake," also called "Goto Fuji," is breathtaking, and on a clear day you can even see Tsushima Island. The islanders live in a rich natural environment supported by fishing and agriculture, with fresh seafood from the waters near the island and crops that grow well in the mild climate.
There is no glamorous hustle and bustle of the city.
What you will find is beautiful nature as it is and delicious locally produced and consumed food,
The warmth of the islanders and the serenity of the time.
At night, enjoy the brightness of the moon or the stars in the sky with the roar of the sea as background music, and in the morning, enjoy the sunrise from the Goto Sea.

Ukushima is a small island, but it is divided into three main areas: the northern part, the western part, and the town part. Each area has a different history and culture, and each has developed its own unique way of life.

In the garden, flowers from the mother's flower beds greet you,
The interior of the inn has been constructed by a couple.
Inside the inn, a wood-burning stove installed by the couple creates a relaxing atmosphere.
Yes, this is exactly the feeling of peace that one gets when returning to one's parents' home.
The rhythm of the waves coming from the sea is also pleasant and makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
I went fishing with my father, a fisherman, and he taught me about the fish and the island while we fished.
It is also a great experience to learn how to handle your catch.
