Sado Island
It is the largest of Japan's remote islands and one of the Seven Kingdoms of Hokuriku. It is an island with the Osado Mountains to the north and the Kosado Hills to the south, with the Kuninaka Plain in the rift valley and river terraces along the coast. The Honma clan, the guardians of the Middle Ages, built Kawarada Shishi Castle and later Manodanfu Castle. From 1573 (Tensho 1) to 1598 (Keicho 3), the Uesugi clan ruled, and the Tokugawa clan controlled Sado Magistrate as Aikawa as a direct territory. He focused his efforts on the management of Aikawa Kanayama. It has also been an island where criminals were exiled since ancient times.
Shukunegi
Located in a narrow valley facing the sunken coast of the inner cape of the Ogi Peninsula on the southern tip of Sado Island, the Shukunegi village is a village of shipwrights that flourished in the shipping industry in early modern times. It is easy to imagine that during the Edo period it was so prosperous that one-third of Sado's wealth was concentrated in Shukunegi, based on its unusual density.
The villages are clustered around a small cove where a small river called the Yakoji River flows into the sea, as well as Takanoyama, which is scattered on the slope of the mountain to the east, and Shinden, which is in the form of a town and village along the road leading to Ogi. Become. Imura is surrounded by sea-eroded cliffs on three sides, with only one side open to the sea. The area on the east side of the river is made up of linear streets along the bay and streets that run perpendicular to it toward the sea, and the process of development can be seen. The linear street along the bay was once the coastline, with large houses and the old post office building facing it, and temples and shrines and a public hall ahead, forming the central axis of the village. From here to the sea, the area that used to be a beach has gradually been turned into residential land and continues to this day.
The building has a main house and a barn connected to each other, and is closed to the outside. Therefore, there are few openings in the outer walls of each house adjacent to the alleys in the village, so you walk through a space surrounded by wooden walls. Each house is basically two-story, with cedar boards or cedar bark, and the storehouses are all covered with wooden walls. The roof is now tiled, but it used to be thatched with stone and cedar bark.
Settlements like Shukunegi, which are clustered together in coves, can also be found on the Ogi Peninsula. However, since it is not a fishing village but a shipping industry village, it has a unique shape that is different from others, and is one of the most valuable in the country.

Ogi, located at the southernmost tip of Sado Island, was established as the Ogi Bansho in 1613 (Keicho 18), and prospered as a shipping port for public funds from the Sado gold mine of the Tokugawa shogunate, as well as a port of call for Kitamaebune ships and Kazamachi Port. . Since then, along with Ryotsu and Akadomari, regular ships have been in service with Honshu, and it is now one of the gateways to Sado with flights from Naoetsu arriving and departing.
The townscape is located along the bay, on a gently sloping land that runs from the port toward the mountains. As a town, it is relatively deep, and is fan-shaped with the main street lined with shops as its main axis. Towns extend here and there towards the mountains. Wide-open merchant houses can be seen on the main street, reminiscent of the city's prosperity in the past, and a restaurant district has also been formed on the next street near the port.
