A trip to Suo Oshima
 -​where nature and history are in harmony

周防大島|瀬戸内

Suo Oshima has long been an important island for transportation in the Seto Inland Sea, and while many people visit the island, the islanders' activities have been passed down from generation to generation. In the Edo period (1603-1867), a group of top-notch temple and shrine builders called Choshu Daiku left behind many artistic structures. Later, the historical value of the island's lifestyle and culture was further enhanced, and visitors can experience firsthand the history and culture of the island from the Manyo Period to the present day.Have a wonderful time to heal your heart.

Fujii Hikoemon, who introduced citrus cultivation to Suo Oshima during the Edo period. When his mansion was demolished, a part of it was moved to this old house (built in 1923). Since then, fishermen's nemoto lived in this house, which we have taken over.

When we took over the house, the foundation, floor, and walls were so damaged that we considered dismantling the house. However, as we make jam and lemoncello from the island's citrus fruits, we felt it was our responsibility to preserve the house, which still contains the spirit of the island's citrus grower, Fujii Hikoemon, and to make it a "place" that can be used by many people.

We hope that you will enjoy your time on the island in this old private house that still retains the atmosphere of the past, while remembering the activities of the island's predecessors.
