About MOKU ISESHIMA

"MOKU ISESHIMA," located on Ago Bay in Shima City, Mie Prefecture, opened in 2022 as Japan's first auberge offering sushi within a national park. Access is by boat or helicopter only. The concept is "Kandan Jichi" (冷暖自知), a Zen phrase that uses the example of "knowing the temperature of water by putting your hand in it" to explain self-awareness. MOKU ISESHIMA is filled with experiences that can only be understood through direct engagement, from the subtle variations in greenery to the flavors.
