A timeless journey to the heart
of Japan's origin story.
According to the ancient chronicles, the divine beings Izanagi and Izanami stood uponthe bridge of heaven, gazing at the shapeless sea below.
They dipped a single jeweled spear into the brine and stirred. As they lifted it, a drop fell from its tip, creating Onokoro—the very first island and the birthplace of the Japanese archipelago.
Welcome to Awaji,
the Island of
Beginnings.
This sacred ground, Awaji Island, is revered as that legendary first land. Its divine connection runs deep through Japan's history, honored for centuries as the “Miketsukuni”—a land of exceptional cuisine, chosen to provide tribute to the Imperial Court. Here, myth is not just a story; it is the very soil beneath your feet.
