Is Shiseido Island worth visiting?

This time, I arrived at Shiseido Island at 7:00 AM. Almost all shops were still closed, with the only ones open early being the fresh produce stalls. The atmosphere here is straightforward: you buy your seafood and have it prepared right on the spot, whether you choose to eat it raw or grilled, enjoying the freshest flavors right away.

The vendors were very enthusiastic and eager to sell their products, but I think that's just their way of life. They didn't push us even if we said no, which allowed us to experience a genuine local atmosphere. When our boat landed, they even went out to the sea to scoop up their catch from the cages and immediately brought it to the stalls for preparation. Their swift and efficient movements exuded both professionalism and a touch of friendly warmth.

Overall, my morning experience on Shiseido Island was down-to-earth and straightforward. Without the usual tourist trappings, I got to see the true rhythm of local life. I heard that in the afternoon, the crowds of people and vendors, along with performances, would be bustling! I believe it will be a unique travel memory.
