Hangiri / Tarai-Bune

Used for centuries by local fisherman living on the Ogi Peninsula, Hangiri are simple washtub boats made of cedar and bamboo grown on Sado Island. While Hangiri are no longer used by fisherman, it is still possible to enjoy a little “Hangiri” ride at different locations around Sado Island! Note that these washtub boats are also known in Japanese as Tarai-Bune and were even featured in the Anime Spirited Away!
