Trekking on Sadogashima Island

A gateway to natural beauty

From its magnificent coasts to its mountain ranges, from its rice terraces to its primitive forests, from its villages swept by the sea winds to its ancestral temples, the island of Sado, Sadogashima in Japanese, is an island of great beauty. If it is better known for its coastal landscapes, it nevertheless has two mountain ranges where you can take beautiful hikes.

The less sporty or those in a hurry can enjoy nature and landscapes by taking the " Osado Ishina cedar forest walk ". The entrance to the hiking trail is accessible by car.

Then the walk, which stretches on a 650-meter long path, can be done in about an hour of walking round trip through different varieties of cedars, some of which are said to be more than three hundred years old. Halfway, weather permitting, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama.
