Enjoy the ocean in Setouchi by snorkeling!
Can you snorkel in the Seto Inland Sea?
In the warm Seto Inland Sea, there are many leisure spots that you can experience with your whole body. The Kuroshio Current, the world's largest warm current, flows along the coast of Tosa Bay in Kochi Prefecture, so there is plenty of food and many whales are migrating. You can do "whale watching" to watch it. You can also experience bottom trawling on the coast of Okayama prefecture and catch a lot of fish. And in Tokushima prefecture, you can take a walk on the sea by sea kayaking, and the feeling of cutting the sea breeze is very pleasant. You can also snorkel with an instructor! Snorkeling has the image of Okinawa and Izu, but you can also do it in Setouchi.
What is popular snorkelling spot in the Seto Inland Sea
Tropical fish and beautiful corals live in the Seto Inland Sea, which consists of about 3,000 large and small islands. You can also enjoy snorkeling there. There are many popular spots in Setouchi in the Shikoku region. If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy sea kayaking and snorkeling along with it, Tokushima Prefecture's Marine Park is popular. Also, if you want to enjoy many tropical fish and coral reefs, the highly transparent area around the southwestern part of Kochi Prefecture is popular. The Kuroshio Current has a warm climate around this area, so corals and tropical fish also inhabit this area. It's surprising to see it in Honshu.
What is the recommended point in the popular snorkeling spot?
The point where you can enjoy sea kayaking and snorkeling at the same time in Tokushima Prefecture is "Takegashima Undersea Park". It is called the "jewel of the South Sea" and is home to many colorful corals and tropical fish. After cutting the wind in the beautiful sea, it is a good idea to look into the sea and play with tropical fish. Also, if you want to enjoy many corals and tropical fish and their shadows, Kochi Prefecture is recommended, especially around Kashiwajima, Kashinishi, and Tsumajiro. Kashiwa Island is a famous point and has a wide variety of fish. Kashinishi is a beach, but the waves are calm because it is dotted with small islands instead of sandy beaches. Nail white is near the campsite and the transparency is reasonable. There are waves, but the fish shadow is good. There are places where you can enjoy yourself even in the vicinity!
