Uno Port 13

Established in 2007, UNOPORT13 is a volunteer community made up of 13 executive and professional women working together to promote UNO Port and Tamano City. Led by Sadako Miyake the group includes business women, artists, public employees and a university professor. As a result of the recent influx of visitors to Uno, Naoshima, Benesse House and Chichu Art Museum, UNOPORT13 made this map to introduce foreign visitors to some of the local historic sites and legends of Uno.

Siebold and Hibi Port

When Siebold (Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold, 1796-1866) traveled back and forth between Nagasaki and Edo, he stayed at Hibi Port and visited the sea salt fields.
Siebold published his travel sketch book, “NIPPON” (“Reise nach dem Hofe des Sjogunim Jahre 1826”), which includes the details of his visit and some of his impressions.
