Want to go this season? Check out the sea turtle snorkeling experience tour on Kagoshima's remote island, Okinoerabujima!

Where is it? How do you get there? How do you read this kanji? There are so many things we don't know about the mysterious island of Okinoerabujima. For me, who is interested in outdoor activities and has been researching a lot of things, it is a familiar spot because it is home to one of the largest caving sites in Japan, but it is not a place name that you would hear very often in your everyday life.

《2018 Latest》Kagoshima/Okinoerabujima Tourist Recommended Gourmet/Leisure Spots Ranking BEST 10

Located in the southwest of the Amami Islands, Okinoerabu Island is an isolated island belonging to Oshima District, Kagoshima Prefecture. Okinoerabu Island is an uplifted coral reef island covered with Ryukyu limestone. Because it is close to the main island of Okinawa, the climate is almost the same as Okinawa's warm climate (average annual temperature is 22°C). Tropical and subtropical flowers bloom throughout the year, and cultivation of Erabu lilies and spray chrysanthemums is also thriving. There is a lot of untouched nature, a beautiful sea, and 200 to 300 large limestone caves. It is also a popular spot for divers because diving is possible all year round. The most common way to get to Okinoerabu Island is to transfer to Kagoshima Airport from major cities across the country, but you can also transfer from Naha Airport or take a ferry from Tokunoshima or Yoron Island. Here are some recommended sightseeing spots and attractions on the charming Okinoerabu Island in a ranking format!

One of the most famous spots in Japan! I want to try caving (cave exploration tour) on Okinoerabu Island!

Okinoerabu Island is an island formed by the uplift of coral, and there are more than 200 caves on the island, ranging from small to huge, and it is also known as the "holy land of caving." The exact locations of this course are not written, but I wonder if we can explore part of Daisansuikyodo Cave, which has the second longest total length in Japan? Exciting. Not only inside the cave, but you have to push your way through the jungle to the entrance, which adds to the sense of adventure. It's not just dripping water, but there are also parts of the course where you will be submerged in water, so you will probably need to prepare a swimsuit. It seems that you can rent innerwear, wetsuits, and knee pads, so wearing them will make you feel more secure.
