Kashikojima is the jewel of the Shima Peninsula, set within Ise-Shima National Park on the rugged Pacific coastline of Mie Prefecture. This small island is famous for its stunning rias coastline — deep, fjord-like inlets dotted with pearl-farming rafts that have defined the area since Mikimoto pioneered cultured pearl cultivation here in 1893.
The pace of life is blissfully slow. Fresh seafood — especially Ise lobster, abalone, and oysters — comes straight from the surrounding waters to your plate. Scenic boat cruises wind through the emerald Ago Bay inlets, and nearby Ise Grand Shrine, Japan's most sacred Shinto site, is an easy excursion. For travellers seeking a coastal escape far from the tourist trail, Kashikojima delivers serenity and some of the finest seafood in Japan.
Autumn (October – December) — Ise lobster season begins in October and runs through spring. Clear autumn skies offer the best views across Ago Bay.
Spring (March – May) — Mild coastal weather, blooming flowers along the coastline, and continued lobster season make spring ideal for visiting.
Summer (July – August) — Warm waters for boat cruises and the ama (female free-divers) demonstrations are most active. Expect some humidity.
