Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunmotobuchou Sakimotobu 671-1 Beach Station

This outdoor specialty shop is where you can experience whale watching, boat diving and boat snorkeling. Whale watching tours, which are held off the coast of Iejima Island, a little-known whale watching spot, depart from the main port near Churaumi Aquarium. They are highly popular since one can easily go to the aquarium after returning to port. Although they have many different plans available, be sure to check in advance because some are only offered for a limited time.

ホェールウォッチングに参加。遠くで潮吹きやしっぽを見るのかと思いきや、本能で近すぎて危なくないか？と思うほどに近づく瞬間もあり、優雅に泳ぐくじらと一緒に泳ぐ気分でした。夕方には写真もアップしてくださり、無料でダウンロードできるサービスもあり、もう本当に満足しました。また行きたい。

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
