Introduction
The Seto Inland Sea is the largest inland sea in Japan, bounded by the islands of
Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in central-western Japan. It is a one-of-a-kind area
where many people have lived from ancient times and cultivated a unique culture and
heritage, with the backdrop of a beautiful archipelago of 700 islands of various sizes
woven together with the tranquil and beautiful sea, along with bountiful nature.
Moreover, it is an area that has contributed greatly to the prosperity of Japan, having
been used as a sea route from ancient times for the exchange of people, goods,
information, and so on.
In June 2018, the Setouchi Cruise Promotion Council was formed from public and
private sector parties concerned with cruise promotion, such as harbor managers and
coastal municipalities of the Setouchi region, business organizations, and the Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with the aim of attracting cruise ships to
the Seto Inland Sea, so people from around the world can discover and fully enjoy
what the region has to offer.
Since then, the members of the council have worked as one with the aim of
attracting cruise ships to the Seto Inland Sea, creating guidebooks to promote the
Setouchi region and engaging in activities to attract tourists to specific international
ship companies collaborating with the Setouchi region.
Throughout these activities, many companies—such as cruise ship and travel
companies—have encouraged us to introduce a document, such as a cruise plan,
outlining the highlights of the Setouchi coast and how best to view and experience
these highlights, so that tourists can fully enjoy the attractions of the Setouchi region.
This document was created in response to such requests, as a reference for cruise
ship, travel, and other companies when creating their products.
We sincerely hope that this document is useful to all forms of cruise ship, travel, and
other companies associated with tourism that utilizes the attractions of the sea.
