Sado - General Info
Description:
Sado is one of Japan’s largest islands and lies off the NW coast of Honshu.
Sado’s biggest attraction is the Earth Celebration, an annual music festival hosted by Sado’s own, world-renowned Kodo taiko group. The island is also home to the endangered Japanese Ibis, extinct in the wild but reintroduced to the island thanks to a successful breeding program.
Ogi is a fishing village on the SE coast of the island, which has embraced tourism and is especially welcoming to visiting yachts.
