Review / word-of-mouth experience
Healing Power Hatenohama
We had always wanted to go to Hatenohama. We decided to leave our current jobs and start afresh, and finally our dream came true.
I hadn't been in the ocean for decades, but under the guidance of the instructors, blessed with perfect weather, and in the perfect underwater environment, I saw beautiful corals, sea snakes, fish, and even sea turtles, a symbol of happiness.
When we returned from the sea, we looked into each other's eyes and realized that we didn't feel any physical fatigue and that we had been filled with a sense of spiritual purification and happiness.
I felt like I had received a lot of power from the life of nature.
Both of them left Kumejima feeling truly fulfilled and energized after the three days, and were inspired to continue taking on new challenges in the future.

We were recommended by locals and were advised to go to Hatenohama Beach if we came to Kumejima.
I decided to join at the last minute the night before, but they kindly accepted and I was able to join the tour.
They also provided transportation to and from the hotel, and I'm glad I was able to have a valuable experience landing at Hatenohama Beach!
The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, and even took some great photos for us.
The boat ride was also a lot of fun.
I would like to participate again.

Review / word-of-mouth experience
It was my first time on Kumejima and my first time at Hatenohama, so I was a little worried because I didn't know what to do and there was little explanation about what to do until I arrived, but Hatenohama was wonderful and the Royal Marine staff were very flexible, so I was able to spend the best day. I only requested snorkeling as an option, and I'm really glad I did.

Half-day course On the way to Hatenohama Beach, we passed an area where there was a high possibility of seeing sea turtles, so we were lucky to see some.

On the way there, we were told about the geography and history of Kumejima, which was an interesting experience. 5.0 ★★★★★ Experience date: March 2024

Review / word-of-mouth experience
This is a highly recommended tour.
The day before, they explained the itinerary in detail to me over the phone, and took me to the hotel. On the way to Hatenohama Beach, I was thrilled to see a sea turtle for the first time. (The captain's driving technique chasing the sea turtle was amazing!)
When we arrived at the beach, it was cloudy, but gradually the sun started to shine. They watched the clouds and told us the best time to take photos. We couldn't see the sparkling sea on the half-day tour, so we definitely recommend the full-day tour!
The staff are all kind and gentle, and they will give you lessons on the history of the island and snorkeling. There are many tropical fish to see even in the shallow waters, so even beginners can participate with confidence.
The clarity of the water and the cleanliness of the sand are more beautiful than anywhere else, making it a place you'll want to return to again and again.

Review / word-of-mouth experience
The tour lasted about 5 hours, and I was very satisfied. There was a shuttle to the hotel where I was staying, and after they picked me up at the hotel by car, we got on a boat and were taken to the beach. At the beach, we were free to enjoy snorkeling, and they took us to the snorkeling spot on a banana boat. At the snorkeling spot, it was about 10 minutes, but you could see a lot of fish as if you were in an aquarium. They also provided a lunch box service for an additional fee, and since there was no other place to eat, I recommend ordering a lunch box if you participate.

Review / word-of-mouth experience
I am very satisfied with the plan!
My wife and I went there together.
Before going, my wife and I were undecided about whether to go to Nakanohama Beach instead of Okuhama Beach, but we are glad we decided on this one.
It was our first time riding a jet ski, and we were both really excited to race across the ocean at incredible speeds and see sea turtles.
My wife was keen to hang out until 4pm, but I had been there since morning and didn't think there would be much to do, so I asked her to compromise and we stayed until 3pm, the same time as the other group that had come. As a result, the time flew by! lol
After snorkeling, jet skiing, having lunch and shaved ice, collecting shellfish, taking photos, etc., the time came.
I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity to go to Kumejima.

Review / word-of-mouth experience
It was amazing!
We were provided with transportation from the hotel to the port, and parasols and chairs were provided on site, so we were able to participate without having to carry much.
After arriving at Hatenohama Beach, I quickly applied for a snorkeling tour, and I was grateful that they were happy to accommodate me. I was glad I applied for the hour-long snorkeling tour, as I was able to swim in a spot with lots of tropical fish.
It was a very relaxing tour where we could see lots of marine life and enjoy a pleasant swim.
There are sand, coral and rocks underwater, so we recommend wearing marine shoes.
I have a great memory of Kumejima. Thank you very much.

Hatenohama Frequently Asked Questions
Q Is there a toilet at Hatenohama?
A There is only one restroom at Nakano Beach in the middle where many tours land. However, since it is a simple toilet, it is better to leave after finishing the toilet. There are toilets and changing rooms at Tomari Fisherina, a boat dock bound for Hatenohama. The changing rooms are simple, so it will be smoother if you put on your bathing suit in advance at a hotel.
Q When is the best time to visit Hatenohama?
A The recommended season is the summer season from June to September! However, typhoons are more likely to occur between July and September, so we recommend visiting in June after the rainy season. Also, pay attention to the ebb and flow of the tide. Rocks that should have been in the sea are exposed during the period of high tide. If you want to enjoy a beautiful shallow beach, be sure to check the timing of the mid-tide and neap tide before going.
Q What kind of activities can you do at Hatenohama?
A The beautiful sea, which is said to be the best in the Orient, is the best location for beach activities! In addition to snorkeling, you can also experience SUP (SUP), where you stand on a SUP board and enjoy surfing and walking on the water while rowing a paddle. In addition, there are various plans that can be absorbed by adults and children, such as jet skis and banana boats. Find your favorite activity.
Q How to get to Hateno Beach?
A To get to Hatenohama, first access Kumejima. You can go from Naha to Kumejima by plane or by ferry. It takes about 35 minutes by plane from Naha Airport, and about 3 hours by ferry from Naha City's Tomari Port to Kumejima's Kaneshiro Port. There are also direct flights from Haneda Airport to Kumejima Airport during the summer. After arriving at Kumejima, join a local tour and enjoy Hatenohama!
