SAGUS Vol 38: Shiwaku Islands, Japan

Yet even in Japan they are all but unknown, rarely visited and are off the tourist trail. All the more reason to get to know them. 

Comprising a group of eight principle islands and around twenty rocks and islets they form a compact archipelago on the eastern board of Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. Islands such as Hiroshima, Honjima and Takamishima are backwaters, albeit ones rich in history and deeply redolent of a time now past and a Japan that is rarely seen.

This is the first book in any language dedicated to the story of these islands. Open the pages to discover a fascinating story in both words and photographs.
