Senagajima Umikaji Terrace: super-fresh food, shopping and views

The programme

Let's start off with a dose of hardcore history! The former underground headquarters of the Japanese Navy is a bunker which will catapult you directly into the midst of the Second World War. Carved out of the rock by 3,000 men in 1944, the tunnel is 450 meters long, and sheltered 4,000 soldiers. Here, you'll walk between the very walls that withstood the bombings, explore the restored rooms, and visit the commander's quarters, with its relics still intact. And when you look up, the view is incredible. You're between the airport and the port, it's hard not to be amazed...the atmosphere of war is already forgotten.

Then, we'll leave history behind us and enjoy a bit of life! Senagajima Umikaji Terrace is the place where you can eat the freshest tuna, have a drink at the "sub zero" bar, shop for hours in jewelry and craft shops, create "itosina" rings, and enjoy views of the ocean that are straight out of a postcard. If you need to relax, this is the place for you. From gourmet food to irresistible accessories and a sunset to take your breath away, you'll wonder how you ever managed to live without this experience!
