[Izu Oshima scuba diving experience] Introduction of recommended plans for beginners and license holders! Night dive plan is also recommended!

The number of days when the refreshing spring breeze blows has increased, and the warm season of 2019 is finally about to arrive. In that case, I can't wait for long holidays such as Golden Week. Some of the readers of this blog may already be planning their trips for the holidays. On your day off, you may find yourself thinking, "I want to travel away from the hustle and bustle of the city" or "I want to spend time in a land rich in nature." However, there may be some people who have trouble with the schedule of going to a far away place from the city, saying, "Honestly, the number of days is difficult...". For such people, we recommend the resort area "Izu Oshima", which is close to Tokyo and easily accessible! "Izu Oshima" is actually very close to the Tokyo metropolitan area! It is located about 120km south of Tokyo and about 30km offshore on the east side of the Izu Peninsula. It is famous as the largest of the Izu Islands, which consist of more than 100 islands, and is blessed with a warm climate throughout the year due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current. In addition, Mt. Mihara, which rises in the center of the island, is a volcanic island called “Gojinka,” and has a unique topographical landscape. As a result, the Izu Islands are mainly focused on crater cones and landscapes. But... when the weather gets warmer, you'll definitely want to enjoy some beach activities. Therefore, this time, we have carefully selected scuba diving plans that you can enjoy at "Izu Oshima"! We have prepared a plan that both beginners and experienced people can enjoy, so check it out!

[Lake Shikotsu canoeing and kayaking experience] High transparency certified as the best water quality in Japan is attractive! Introducing a tour where you can fully enjoy Hokkaido!

Lake Shikotsu, a freshwater lake in Chitose City, Hokkaido. It is a caldera lake with the second largest reservoir of water in Japan after Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, and is said to be the northernmost non-freezing lake in Japan, where warm water remains in the deep part of the lake and the surface temperature of the lake does not easily drop. It is characterized by a light blue color called "Lake Shikotsu Blue" when exposed to sunlight. In addition, according to the Ministry of the Environment's water quality survey, it boasts the best water quality in Japan for 11 consecutive years, and various animals and plants live there. Lake Shikotsu is located in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, about an hour's drive from Sapporo city, and is popular as a sightseeing and leisure spot where you can enjoy nature and hot springs while being close to the city. There are camping facilities and a visitor center in the surrounding area, and events and festivals are held here, attracting many tourists and locals. With the 2019 Spring/Summer season just around the corner, here are some activities to enjoy the great outdoors of Lake Shikotsu! Here are 3 recommended experience plans that allow you to cruise in a canoe or kayak. If you have been interested in it on SNS or want to try canoeing, please come and visit us in the 2019 summer season.

[Okinawa Minnajima snorkel tour] Snorkeling experience on the main island's superb view hot spot beach! Here are 3 recommended plans!

As Golden Week draws nearer, it becomes more and more difficult to wait for the sunny summer season. In the height of summer, there are more opportunities to play in the sea, and beaches with abundant marine activities become popular spots, so it is inevitable that they will be crowded. If it is too crowded, it will be difficult to play, and some people may have given up the chance to experience rare activities. For such people, I would like to recommend Okinawa's remote islands where summer comes a little early. Okinawa's remote islands are full of little-known hidden spots and beautiful beaches! You can enjoy beach marine sports to your heart's content with a more open feeling than standard sightseeing spots and beaches crowded with people. Among the many remote islands around Okinawa, this time we will introduce "Minnajima". This is because Minnajima is the closest remote island from Okinawa and can be easily accessed by ferry in 15 minutes one way. You can have a day trip to the main island after having a lot of fun on Minnajima! Even those who have never experienced playing on a remote island can easily enjoy landing on a remote island for the first time. This time, we have carefully selected 3 snorkel tour plans that you can experience at "Minnajima". Each one has a slightly different taste, so please try to find a plan that suits you ♪
