Unique lifestyles and traditions – ユニークな文化

 
Being a remote archipelago, the Oki Islands have developed a culture different from the rest of Japan, such as Oki traditional sumo, unique architecture, festivals, rituals, and bull sumo, which were used to entertain exiled nobles and emperors. The Oki Islands also boast a food culture rich with marine products, famous for its Hiogi rainbow coloured scallops, Iwagaki rock oysters, squid, Sazae turban shells and much more! Oki Beef is also becoming very popular. Don’t forget to try some Oki Sake too!
