Model Course Reviews

  • •Oshima is like a different world. When you see the black landscape of Urasabaku where only short plants grow because of the wind, you will wonder "Am I realy on Earth?" It's more like standing on the moon!
  • •The geological strata on Oshima is a natural heritage site standing 30 meters high and 800 meters long. The colors and layers left over the years make it look just like a layer cake.
  • •The view from the platform of Habu Observation deck looking down on the port of Habu below is incredibly beautiful.
  • •The Ukifune district has wonderful folks houses still standing from the early 20th century.
