Honjima is one of the Shiwaku group of islands in the Seto Inland Sea, between Japan's mainland Honshu and Shikoku. It lies off the beaten track, but there's plenty to see there. Although it is a small island with a circumference of only 16 kilometers, Honjima boasts numerous temples, shrines and towns with beautiful traditional architecture. In ancient times, the islanders were skilled navigators who knew their way through the treacherous waters of the Inland Sea. They later turned their nautical skills to maritime trade, gaining them great wealth. Radio DJ Chris Glenn is a history enthusiast. On this edition of "journeys in japan", he explores the history and culture of Honjima and discovers handsome townscapes that have changed little for more than a century. |
