Kasashima Important Preservation District of Traditional Buildings
As the home of the Shiwaku Suigun navy, Honjima island is the center of the Shiwaku Islands, which had enough power to be given autonomy by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590 and flourished in the shipping industry during the Edo period (1603-1868).
It's amazing how well they've preserved these historic buildings, especially being so close to the sea. Not an easy feat!
