Hello to all of you who are viewing the Activity Japan BLOG. The other day, celebrating my birthday and thinking about becoming one year old is only once in my life! Let's live without regrets! I want to live a more ideal life! While feeling such a thing, the reality is that I am busy with housework, childcare, work, and daily life, and I can not make time easily. I wanted to reconsider my daily life and face my feelings in order to have a better life.

For a long time, when I was worried about something, I went on a trip to a resort with a beautiful sea. By looking at the extraordinary scenery and putting yourself in nature, you can feel something different from usual, so you can step up next. You can go by ferry from Ishigaki Island Remote island of Okinawa The beautiful sea, untouched wilderness, old-fashioned Okinawa There are many spots where you can relax both physically and mentally, with the atmosphere and time flowing slowly.

Today, I would like to find out about activities that can be enjoyed in the coming season, such as the spectacular scenery around Kohama Island in the Yaeyama Islands.

The stage of the drama! What is the remote island of Okinawa, Kohama Island?

Yaeyama Islands is 2,000km from Tokyo, Okinawa main island These are the southwesternmost islands of Japan, 400 km away from Japan. "Kohama Island" is attracting attention alongside "Ishigaki Island" and "Taketomi Island", which are also featured by other bloggers. Kohama Island is located in the central part of the Yaeyama Islands, and has become famous nationwide as the stage for dramas. What an old-fashioned Okinawa I investigated Kohama Island, where a unique sight and a tropical resort live together.

The way to Kohama Island is by boat, but you can reach Kohama Port in 25 minutes by high-speed boat or 30 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Port Terminal. Rent-a-cars and rental motorcycles are good for going around the island, but it seems that many people use the rental cycle to visit each tourist spot. Electric bicycles are recommended because there are many slopes. Sugar Road, which is familiar in the drama scene, is a straight road in the sugar cane field on both sides, and it seems comfortable to ride a bicycle and cycle while feeling the wind.

There are many other spots that appear in the drama, and fans will want to visit this tourist destination at least once. I would like to introduce a wonderful activity plan that allows you to refresh your mind and body while enjoying Kohama Island.

A lot of sightseeing is good, but if you want to spend a relaxing time in the great outdoors, this plan is recommended. It is a tour to experience the sunset from the ship, departing from and arriving at Kohama Port Terminal on Kohama Island. Do you know A phenomenon called "green flash". It seems to be a natural phenomenon that the sun emits green for a moment just before the sun sets. There is a legend in Hawaii that people who see this light will be happy.

The phantom island is a crescent-shaped uninhabited island that floats between Kohama Island and Taketomi Island, 10 km west of Ishigaki Island. The official name is "Hamajima", but it is popular with tourists because it only appears when the tide is low. The charm of the phantom island is the beautiful sea that spreads 360 degrees all over, and its beautiful location. The transparency of the sea is also high, so tours to enjoy snorkeling and diving are also popular.

This plan is a landing tour, so it is cheaper than other tours that include snorkeling, and it is perfect for those who are not good at swimming or who want to play at the beach. It will be a little chilly in the coming season, so you may be a little reluctant to get into the water. Rare terrain is hard to find even if you search all over Japan, so why not enjoy the feeling of standing in the sea or taking pictures of photogenic beaches.

Of course, for those who want to enjoy snorkeling, there is also a rental fee. Also, if you make a reservation for sea activities, you can get a discounted price for electric bicycles, mopeds, and 125cc motorcycles, so it seems good to go sightseeing on the island before and after the tour.

Finally...

What did you think. Each plan has a luxurious content that cannot be experienced in urban life. Reward yourself, look back at your life, just spend your time, play snorkeling to your heart's content, and take advantage of it! In the coming season, the travel price is cheaper than the summer vacation, and the temperature is surprisingly warmer than in Tokyo, so it's a good time to aim! I also want to go to Kohama Island for a winter vacation and spring vacation trip, feeling the tropical breeze!
