"Kouri Island" is a small remote island belonging to Nakijin Village in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa. The island is well known due to the famous tourist attraction "Churaumi Aquarium" nearby. It is surrounded by emerald green sea, but can be accessed by car thanks to a bridge. The most attractive feature is the view from this bridge. The "Kouri Ohashi Bridge" that connects Yagaji Island in Nago City and Kouri Island has waters so clear that even the locals acknowledge it.
Why do we go whale watching in the waters of Okinawa in winter? Let's start with that story. The "humpback whales" seen in the waters of Okinawa are 13 to 16 meters long, weigh 30 tons, and are roughly the size of a four-story building. Humpback whales usually live in the Bering Strait and the Gulf of Alaska, but in winter they migrate to the warm waters of Okinawa and the Ogasawara Islands to mate, give birth, and raise their young. They travel an astounding 9,000 km! They return to the polar oceans where there is plenty of food in the spring.
The popular bus tour "Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium ★ Night Aquarium / Night Dino Dinosaur Park Bus Tour" which was held at the same time last year and received a great response, will be held in 2019-2020 season from Naha, Okinawa, and reservations have started on Activity Japan! This time, it is a super special tour program that is a must-see for those who are planning a trip to Okinawa during the winter holiday season including New Year's Eve ♪

The Yaeyama Islands are the southwesternmost islands of Japan, 2,000km from Tokyo and 400km from the main island of Okinawa. Kohama Island is attracting attention alongside Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island, which have also been featured by other bloggers. Kohama Island is located almost in the center of the Yaeyama Islands, and became famous nationwide as the setting for the NHK morning drama "Chura-san." We looked into Kohama Island, where traditional Okinawan scenery and tropical resorts coexist.
Since it is done on the water, unlike on the ground, the swaying motion naturally trains your inner muscles. Also, the sound and flow of the water has a relaxing and refreshing effect. Lessons are also held in pools, but doing it in the great outdoors feels so much better. If you do it on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa, it's the best, so we would like to introduce this plan.
If you are going to Okinawa, it is natural to want to try marine sports that involve diving into the ocean. Once you see the crystal clear waters of Okinawa, you will not be able to resist diving. However, in order to enjoy diving and snorkeling in the water temperatures from October to November onwards, a certain level of experience is essential. If you have never tried marine sports before, have you given up on them due to safety concerns? In fact, there are other activities that you can enjoy diving into the ocean even in November! What's more, you can enjoy walking underwater without getting your face or hair wet. We will explain this magical new water activity, "Sea Walk".
In order to make up for the trip to Okinawa that we were unable to take during the summer vacation, we are considering our first "winter trip to Okinawa" as a family. Of course, it's not as warm as summer, but the temperature rises to about 20℃ even in winter in Okinawa, so marine activity tours are held all year round, the tour prices are cheaper than in the peak season, and the city is probably less crowded, so it might be a good time to go. There seem to be a lot of foreign visitors as usual. Moreover, since we just saw the tragic news the other day that Shuri Castle burned down, we, who visit Okinawa every year and enjoy it, would like to spend a little money and contribute to tourism, so it's even more so. On the contrary, we hope that our enjoyment of Okinawa to the fullest will be at least an encouragement. That's why we're going to check out the popular outdoor activities on Activity Japan once again and enjoy it in full preparation!
First, let me explain what a kayak is. I think you probably have the same image of a canoe and a kayak, but both are like rowing boats with pointed ends. The big difference is that a canoe uses a paddle with a blade on one side, while a kayak uses a paddle with a blade on both sides. Canoes range from one-person to large groups, but kayaks are basically one-person or at most two-person, small and maneuverable. And the main topic, kayak fishing, is fishing in a pond or lake in a kayak, and the activity I'm introducing this time is called sea kayaking because it's done in the sea. Recently, this genre of play seems to have evolved, and inflatable and folding kayaks that can be carried around have come out and seem to be attracting a lot of attention. Eh! Is that safe? I honestly thought, but they are stable and there are a wide variety of types, so as long as you use a kayak that suits your purpose, there's no problem.
Taketomi Island is full of charm, with villages that still retain the distinctive Okinawan scenery, beaches that shine with beauty, and small islands surrounded by coral reefs that never cease to fascinate visitors. Walking along the roads covered with white coral sand, you will come across a townscape with red tiled roofs. Just strolling around will allow you to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, and the quiet flow of time will soothe you. Kondoi Beach, famous as one of the most beautiful beaches in Yaeyama, is actually located on Taketomi Island. The shallow waters make it a great place for families to enjoy swimming, but that's not all. It has one of the largest coral reefs in Japan, making it a great diving spot that is popular with divers from all over the world!
This time, we would like to introduce the activity "parasailing". Why not take a trip to Okinawa, where it is still warm, to enjoy the emerald green and cobalt blue seas with their coral reefs and colorful fish? Among the marine activities that can be enjoyed in Okinawa's Churaumi Sea, such as scuba diving, SUP, and sea fishing, parasailing is recommended for beginners and women as it puts less strain on the body. We will introduce three popular plans for the popular parasailing experience on Okinawa's main island, bringing you the latest information for 2019.

The theme of this article, Miyako Island, is an island between the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. It is located southwest of the main island of Okinawa through the Miyako Strait, and belongs to the Miyako Islands, a group of islands in the western part of the Nansei Islands. It is a very popular resort destination, and is a remote island that is widely known not only in Japan but also overseas. The reason for its popularity is the exceptionally clear sea. There is actually a reason behind its clarity. Since it is an island formed by the uplift of a coral reef, the geology is made of limestone. In other words, there are no high mountains, so there are no rivers. When it rains, mud does not flow from the rivers into the sea, so the sea does not become muddy. Miyako Island is also famous for the Yabiji Sea, where one of the largest coral reefs in Japan lives, and coral lives in abundance. The corals that make up this group photosynthesize, absorb carbon dioxide from the sea, and release oxygen and minerals. These oxygen and minerals have a purifying effect. Miyakojima, with its natural logic that keeps the ocean clear, has earned a reputation for being extremely beautiful. When the ocean is clean, you can enjoy a variety of activities and sports on the beach. That's why Miyakojima is loved by both divers and tourists.
