Kumano-nada Coast
A Lull in the Sea

Kumano-nada Coast

熊野灘海岸

This rugged coastline in Mie Prefecture served as the primary inspiration for the seaside town of Shioshishio in the anime. The dramatic cliffs and pristine waters perfectly capture the mystical atmosphere where the sea people's underwater village was imagined to exist.

📺 Scene from the Anime

Featured prominently in opening sequences and episodes showing the surface world's coastline, particularly in episodes 1-3 where characters transition between land and sea
