Hello to all of you who are viewing the Activity Japan BLOG! In the pleasant climate of spring when April is about to end, my head is spending every day thinking of a hot everlasting summer paradise with a temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius. I liked it (although I became fond of rivers and mountains as I got older) I have been traveling to the main island of Okinawa and Ishigaki Island every year for the past 10 years, but this year! The spot that I am aiming for as my first travel destination is an island that floats from Kagoshima prefecture and Okinawa " Yoron Island (Yoronjima / Yoronto) "! People who were interested in this tropical paradise that suddenly became famous for "Yurigahama", where the blue sea and the white sand beach became a hot topic as a scenic spot as far as the 360 ° view was seen. Isn't there a lot? In this blog Yoron Island Focusing on the tour of the marine activity "Snorkeling", which can be said to be the true value of enjoying nature, we will introduce three plans that I personally wanted to experience!

What is Yoron Island?

Speaking of remote islands belonging to Kagoshima Prefecture, the first thing that comes to mind is "Amami Oshima" and "Yakushima", which is also famous as a World Heritage Site. It seems that many tourists visit these spots every year, and I often see them in magazines and TV, so I think many of you know them. The island, which is located at the southernmost tip of the Amami Islands, further south of Amami Oshima and Yakushima, and where you can see it from the northernmost tip of the main island of Okinawa, is drawing a lot of attention this time. Yoron Island "is.

It seems that there are various theories about history and culture, such as whether it is "Yoronjima" or "Yoronto", but anyway, it is an exaggeration to say that the sea that is too beautiful is the hottest spot now. It's not a tropical paradise! There are ferries and planes from Kagoshima prefecture or Okinawa prefecture to access the island, and the shortest route is from Naha Airport via Okinawa to Yoron Airport in about 40 minutes.

Next, I would like to introduce the second one, in addition to the recent snorkeling experience that you can enjoy at the point where you can encounter sea turtles as well as colorful fish and coral reefs. Yoron Island It is a plan that includes a boat boarding fee to access the spectacular beach "Yurigahama", which can be said to be the driving force behind the popularity of travel! personally, Yoron Island There is no option not to visit Yurigahama and go to Yurigahama, so this is the plan that we are considering making the most reservations.

The phantom beach Yurigahama, which appears offshore only at low tide, can only be accessed by which ferry, so if you can make a reservation together with the snorkeling experience, I think it's okay to use Rakuchin! You may also want to experience a glass-bottom boat (additional option?) Where you can enjoy the transparent sea on a sunny day when the weather is nice! !! Just like me Yoron Island If you are looking for marine activities and Yurigahama, please check out this plan held by "Tandy Marine Beach House".

Lastly, I would like to introduce you to a tropical country with beautiful sea, but only one marine sport is not enough! We would like to introduce a greedy plan that you can enjoy not only snorkeling but also the popular activity "SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board)" as a set. Rather, the tour held by this "Yoron Island Beach Boy Club" will lend you a set of snorkeling goods such as goggles and masks while making the main experience SUP, so you can freely enjoy playing in the sea during the time. It seems that you can do it.

It is also a nice point to be able to add an option for a boat course that landed at Yurigahama. It seems that the meeting time and experience time zone will change depending on the ebb and flow of the tide and the sea conditions on the day, so let's look forward to the day while making a reservation in advance. Of course, the daytime is the best, but in fact, the evening when you can enjoy the sunset is also the best because you can do activities in the sunset.

Finally

That's what I personally care about Yoron Island A lot of snorkeling experience plans! I'm going to investigate how popular and crowded the summer vacation season is, but it's getting more and more popular year by year. Yoron Island So it's safer to make a schedule early. Probably, there are not so many marine shops that hold such activity plans, so it may be difficult to make reservations during the peak season. Let's enjoy the 2019 summer season, which is the first year of Reiwa.
