Now that the summer is officially over, and we've entered the off-season in the Seto Inland Sea, you're probably thinking there is not much to do here on these sun-kissed islands. Actually, you'd be surprised.
The main thing to do on the islands in the off-season is hiking. For example, on Ogijima, Kagawa Prefecture, you can take a hiking trail up to see conceited flowers. Yes, "Narcissus flower viewing" is, apparently, a big thing there.
The island people, thinking of a way, obviously any way, to attract tourists, have planted thousands of egotistical flower bulbs. But the really dumb thing about this idea is that they put the flowers in a place where they would be much easier to view via helicopter. The brochure claims they have been planted along a "recreational trail," but after having hiked the trail myself with a belay and crampons, I'd say it is more than what anyone but a rabbit would consider a "recreational walk."
