Senkaku Bay
# 3   of 7 most visited
sights in Sado Island

Senkaku Bay is a scenic bay on the northwestern coast of Sado Island. The area is a Quasi National Park, and its steep rocky cliffs and beautiful scenery are said to resemble Hardanger Bay in Norway.

Tourists can view the bay from observation view points in Senkaku Bay Ageshima Park and from sightseeing boat cruises. Cruises by glass bottom boats depart from inside Senkaku Bay Ageshima Park and last about 15 minutes.

A different company operates 30 minute sightseeing boat cruises by both regular and glass bottom boats from a pier that is located two kilometers south down the coast from Senkaku Bay Ageshima Park.

How to get there
Senkaku Bay can be reached in about an hour by car from Ryotsu Port via Sawata and Aikawa. Alternatively by bus, take the Main Line bound for Aikawa from Ryotsu to Aikawa (one hour, 780 yen, 1-2 buses per hour) and transfer to the Kaifu Line to Senkaku Bay (15 minutes, infrequent departures).
