Good morning, everyone. I’m Cho.

This time, I went to “Inujima Island”, an artistic island in Okayama. It’s an island full of art and about 3 km from Hoden Port in Okayama City. It takes about 10 minutes from Hoden Port to the island by passenger boat. The circumference is about 4 km, it’s a very small island because you can walk around it for about an hour. I’d recommend this island to those who like the sea and are interested in art!!!
