Insider tip — Kii Nagashima Furusato Onsen serves the fishing port of Kii Nagashima on the ria coast of southeastern Mie where the Pacific creates deep indented bays and forested headlands along the Kumano Kodo UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage corridor. The Kii Peninsula coastline from Nagashima to Owase is one of Japan most remote and scenic Pacific shores, with traditional fishing communities still harvesting bonito, yellowtail, and spiny lobster from the Kuroshio Current.
