Hyogo Prefecture Overview
City Summary
Aioi City in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, is a coastal gem renowned for its pearl cultivation heritage and Seto Inland Sea vistas. As the birthplace of Japan's pearl industry, it offers unique maritime culture blended with modern port facilities. The city's tranquil fishing villages and pearl workshops provide an authentic alternative to urban tourism.
Key features include:
- Historic pearl farms with hands-on experiences
- Spectacular sunset views over the archipelago
- Fresh seafood and traditional fisherman's cuisine
Must-See Attractions
Top attraction is the Aioi Pearl Museum showcasing century-old cultivation techniques. Wakamiya Fishing Port's morning market reveals local lifestyle, while summer boat tours explore surrounding islands. Don't miss sunset at Aioi Bay Bridge - considered Hyogo's finest - or panoramic views from Harimanada Park. Culture enthusiasts should visit 400-year-old Aioi Hachiman Shrine.
Food Guide
Must-try includes seafood rice bowls featuring daily catches like octopus and sea bream. Izakayas near Wakamiya serve traditional "tai meshi" (sea bream rice), while winter brings oyster hot pots. Unique snacks include pearl oyster dim sum and "Aioi yokan" (seaweed jelly).
Transportation Guide
City buses cover major attractions (3 main routes), with 1-day passes (¥800 recommended). Sightseeing loop buses depart every 30min from Aioi Station. Taxis charge ¥650 initial fare. Ferries to islands depart from Aioi Port (schedule varies). Note some fishing village roads are narrow for drivers.
Best Time to Visit
Best visiting periods: May-Jun (pearl harvest) & Sep-Nov (oyster season) with mild weather. July-Aug offers water activities despite heat. Dec-Feb has unique fishing port atmosphere but limited services.
Travel Tips
- Pearl farm tours require advance HopeGoo
- Wear anti-slip shoes at wet fishing ports
