Situated on the southern shores of Sado Island, Ogi Town is an evocative coastal haven steeped in maritime tradition. The historic port is best known for its *taraibune*, traditional round wooden tub boats originally designed to navigate rocky shallows for harvesting seaweed and shellfish. Today, visitors can hop aboard these unique vessels at Ogi Port and nearby inlets like Yajima and Kyojima for a memorable paddle across clear waters. With its tranquil seaside atmosphere and rugged shoreline, Ogi offers a captivating glimpse into historic island life.
