Miyakejima is a volcanic island about 180 km south of Tokyo, and the scenery created by its activity is unique, and visitors say it feels like they are on another planet. On clear days, the sunsets and moon are beautiful, and the starry sky you can see is comparable to that of a planetarium.
イルカ達と間近に触れ合うことのできる素晴らしいアクティビティでした。スタッフの皆様方も気さくで優しい人達で、心休まり胸躍る、そんなひと時を過ごすことができました。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。是非またお願いしたいと思います。
Dolphin swimming will take place on a neighboring island. The island is almost circular and has no complicated inlets, so if you can go around the island (it may not be possible due to weather conditions, or you may not be able to go around the island at all), there is a very high chance that you will encounter bottlenose dolphins. Enjoy the excitement of wild dolphins approaching you. You may even be able to make eye contact with each other.
The main way to get to Miyakejima is by large ferry. It departs from Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo (the nearest station is JR Hamamatsucho Station, etc.) every day at 22:30. For example, on the weekend, you can take the ferry on Friday night and arrive at the island the next morning. On Sunday, after enjoying your morning activities, you can take the 13:40 ferry and arrive at Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo at 19:45 or 20:40. (Departure times may change in the event of bad weather.)
Dolphin swimming is an activity that you do while snorkeling in waters where your feet cannot touch the ground. Learning how to swim and getting used to the ocean are important points for having fun with the dolphins. Therefore, beginners and those who are not confident can take training. Masks, snorkels, wetsuits, fins, and boots are also available for rental.
In front of his childhood home is the vast forest of Meguro Fudoson, and just a few minutes' walk away is the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Forestry Experiment Station (now Tokyo Rinshi no Mori Park), and he grew up surrounded by trees in the city, and he became completely fond of nature. After graduating from the Tokai University School of Marine Science (where his research theme was hermaphroditism in fish, a phenomenon also tackled by Jack T. Moyer), he studied at the university's Marine Science Museum and worked as a zookeeper and curator at the Izu aquarium. Surrounded by the beautiful sea of southern Izu, he was in charge of displaying, raising, and training fish, invertebrates, and dolphins. After that, he experienced the joy of guiding dolphin swimmers on Notojima, and then moved to Miyakejima. "Please take care of us, everyone."
I came to Miyake because I love the sea, especially dolphins. I also love the cute appearance of the pufferfish I meet while diving, especially their heart-shaped eyes. I'm also interested in shrimp and gobies, and am currently studying about them! There's still a lot I need to learn, but I'll do my best with all my energy (^o^) And I hope to be able to convey the wonders of Miyakejima to everyone! Thank you for your support.
