Program

Depart Osaka and explore
Awaji Island’s highlights in one day

Depart by vehicle from your chosen meeting point, the National Bunraku Theatre (9:45 AM) or Q Plaza Shinsaibashi (9:30 AM), and head to Awaji Island. Your first stop is a rest area in northern Awaji, where you can take in panoramic views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and snap photos with the bridge as your backdrop.

See Yumebutai and the Water Temple by Tadao Ando

At Awaji Yumebutai, wander through Tadao Ando’s architecture and the Water Church, where buildings, flowers and nature come together. According to the itinerary, you spend about 2 hours here.

Next, continue to Honpukuji Water Temple, another work by Ando. You descend from the ground into the water and enter a vermilion-painted hall where light and shadow create a unique atmosphere.

Stroll a seasonal flower hill and visit Kunjudo

Walk among seasonal blooms at Awaji Hanasajiki (Awaji Island Flower Corridor) and stop by Izanagi Shrine. Then visit Kunjudo, an incense maker founded in 1893, to learn about the incense culture of Awaji Island, known as the home of Japanese incense.

Enjoy dessert and the sunset over the Seto Inland Sea

Finally, enjoy dessert and a drink at a pancake café overlooking the Seto Inland Sea while watching the sunset over the water. At the end of the tour, you return to the drop-off point in central Osaka according to your option.
