Taraibune Tub-Boat Ride (Yajima Taiken Koryukan)
たらい舟 矢島・経島
Enjoy a traditional “taraibune” tub-boat ride in a beautiful cove facing the islands of Yajima and Kyojima!
“Taraibune” tub-boats were originally built for "isonegi-ryo," a fishing method where a glass box is used to look underwater for seafood from a floating tub. It was used to collect seaweed, abalone, turban shells, and more from the narrow, rocky, and reef-filled Ogi Coast. It is said to have been based on a laundry tub, and improved over time to its current form.
Yajima Taiken Koryukan, a facility on the cove with a view of Yajima and Kyojima islands, offers taraibune tub-boat rides for visitors. Explore the cove on a tub-boat and relish the picturesque scenery of Sado Island!
