“Japan's Inland Sea, SETOUCHI”
The world-renowned Setouchi

The Seto Inland Sea is one of the most prominent multi-island seas in the world. In 1860,
the world-famous geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen visited Setouchi and praised the area in his works.
"Beautiful scenery that stretches across this large area - there cannot be any greater place in the world.
This place will be celebrated as one of the most charming in the world and draw many visitors.
(Omitted) It has been like this for so long, and I pray that it will continue to be so."**
The Setouchi region has high international tourism value, and together with the increase in western and asian tourists visiting Japan,
businesses that take advantage of local resources and local tourism activities have expanded in the region.
There are huge business opportunities for eager enterprises. SETOUCHI DMO is an organisation that aims to revitalize the region through establishment of the Setouchi Brand. ** From "Shina Ryoko Nikki", Keio Shobokan
