Awaji Island, with the Naruto Straits to the south, is a land of fresh seafood. Once considered one of only three "Miketsukuni" in Japan, the island offered mainly seawater products to the imperial family and the Imperial Court. Today, it is known as a treasure trove of various foodstuffs, such as onions grown sweetly by taking advantage of the climate and soil, and Awaji beef, a brand of beef that only cattle raised on the island can claim to be named after them. At the Uzu-no-oka Onaruto Bridge Memorial Museum, visitors can fully enjoy the bounty of nature on Awaji Island!
