Practical Info | Useful Info & Recommendations

Sado

There's lots going on at EC, but Sado is also a great place to relax and take in the traditional surroundings of an island that still offers a nostalgic taste of old Japan. We hope you'll take advantage of all EC has to offer, but we also hope you'll leave some time in your schedule to let things unfold as they come.
