佐渡の南玄関 / Sado's south entrance
小木地区は、かつて佐渡産金の積出港、北前船の寄港地として栄えた港町で、今でも昔のままの面影を残した風情ある街並みが残っています。 たらい舟や名勝南仙峡など観光的なものから、千石船の里・宿根木などユニークな見どころも多く又、小木地区に拠点を置く世界的和太鼓集団「鼓童」の音楽祭「アースセレブレーション」は、県外・海外からの見物客を魅了しています。
Ogi area once flourished as a gold shipping port where *Kitamaebune had stopped by.
You can experience Sado's unique boat "tarai-bune" (a tub boat) and enjoy annual art festival "Earth Celebration" hosted by "Kodo", world renowned Japanese drum performers.
Ogi coast is recognized as a national treasure and a beauty scenic due to its breath-taking spectacular view.
(*Kitamaebune is a sea route that linked various ports around Japan, from Osaka to Hokkaido, and ships themselves that had run this sea way in Edo through Meiji periods.)
