Kure City is one of the leading oyster producing areas in Japan.
To produce high-quality oysters, local oyster farmers continually adjust their practices to match tidal changes, climate and water temperature.
In winter, oyster festivals spring up throughout the region and restaurants in Kure serve a variety of mouth-watering oyster dishes. Make sure you take the chance to sample Kure’s famous rich, full-bodied oysters during your visit.
