As part of the final stage of the project commissioned by Kagoshima Prefecture, “Project to raise awareness of Sidotti's achievements in spreading Western culture,'' we held the first Koshima Village Eco- Tour for 8 tourists coming from Kamakura.
At the Koshima Community Center, we sampled the island's specialty, Kakaran Dango
（dumpling）and after giving an overview based on the village Eco-tour Map, we began our tour around the village.
Shoji Okubo, a former mountain guide who lives on Koshima, will lead the tour around
Koshima Shrine, Woods of Rice Field God, and Arrow Stone, and Tomoko Furui will be the narrator for the tour to follow Sidotti's footprints, and the tour will take two hours in total.
At the end, we returned to the community center and asked the participants to fill out a
questionnaire. The most popular attraction was the Sidotti Landing Observation Tower.
