What is a Setouchi Area Pass?

Have you heard about the Setouchi Area Pass? It’s an awesome travel pass that’s perfect for both tourists and locals who want to explore the diverse and rich Setouchi region of Japan. Basically, it’s like an all-access ticket to a network of trains and ferries, allowing unlimited travel throughout the Setouchi area for a fixed duration. This means you can explore all the breathtaking landscapes, picturesque islands, and mountainous terrains, as well as a cultural tapestry that is deeply rooted in tradition yet embraces modernity without any hassle of purchasing individual tickets. 

The Setouchi Area Pass encourages spontaneous exploration and allows you to jump from one destination to another. Whether you want to uncover the historical significance of Hiroshima, be awestruck by the iconic floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, or indulge in contemporary art on Naoshima Island, the Setouchi Area Pass ensures you can do it all seamlessly.

Not just that, the pass is also an invitation to deep cultural immersion. Beyond the tourist hotspots, the pass encourages travelers to discover lesser-known gems, from quaint fishing villages to festivals pulsating with energy and tradition. For those with an adventurous streak, the region is a playground of outdoor activities. The Shimanami Kaido, for instance, offers a unique cycling experience across interconnected islands while the numerous hiking trails promise panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea.
