It is an area where the beach, shopping area and hotel are adjacent. You can enjoy marine sports at Araha Beach and Miyagi Coast. The Depot Island area is full of colorful buildings and photogenic spots, so you won't get bored during your stay. In addition, there are tables and chairs where you can rest for free on the seaside promenade boardwalk where you can see the sunset without obstruction, so you can enjoy the sunset slowly.
