The "Shima-ru" sightseeing bus, which takes you around popular tourist spots in Shima that are difficult to reach by public transport, is very popular with many people as a bus where you can enjoy the charm of Shima while listening to a tour guide's commentary.
We are pleased to announce that the "Shima-ru Summer Edition" bus service will be operating again this year for a limited time.
In the summer season, just like in the spring season, we will operate the "Yokoyama Observatory and Shima City Tourist Farm Course" in the morning and the "Amanoiwato and Izawa Shrine Course" in the afternoon.
This tour allows you to fully enjoy Shima's nature, stunning scenery, history, and culture in one day, by taking a ride throughout the morning and afternoon.
