Miyajima Oyster Festival

Oyster fans, mark this down if you want to get your fix. Miyajima Island in the Seto Inland Sea is famed for its oyster farms, and February is the peak season for the plump mollusc. The festival is dedicated to this abundance, with freshly shucked oysters, oysters popping open on the grill, crispy oyster okonomiyaki, steamy oyster stew and more for the tasting.
