Much like many coastal cities, Sakaiminato is famous in the region for its fishing and maritime heritage. The harbour is adorned with modern facilities, though the entirety of the city has expanded with the demands of the tourism industry; Yumeminato Towers stands tall at 43 metres and has gradually developed into the unofficial emblem of Sakaiminato. After admiring the stunning building, you will notice several Yokai statues dotted around the centre, demonstrating the cultural history belonging to the west coast of Japan. Whilst the fishing history may still receive much of the attention, the city has slowly become a mecca for marine sports. Yachts decorate the horizon in a wave of pristine white, and for those who prefer to spend their time under water, other aquatic sports are available. The sport doesn’t just stop at the water; national beach volleyball tournaments are hosted in the region each year – the entertainment and idyllic surroundings of palm trees and white sands bring a large crowd.
Most of the areas are compact enough to be covered on foot.
