"Okinawa Tropical Fishing" is a great experience even for beginners! Introducing recommended fishing boat plans that depart from near the Churaumi Aquarium!

I think the biggest attraction of fishing in Okinawa is the fact that you can "set out on a boat on the beautiful sea and play under the blue sky." Even though I'm a huge advocate of fishing in Okinawa, I'm not interested in fishing at all in my everyday life, and I've never even been there! lol But even so, I'm interested in it as an outdoor leisure activity in Okinawa, and I think it sounds fun. Maybe the tropical paradise of Okinawa has that kind of magic.

activityjapanblog_20190705_okinawa_sisa

A great Okinawa sightseeing experience that even children will enjoy! Enjoy a shisa-making experience with the whole family near the Churaumi Aquarium!

Of the many Okinawa craft experiences available, we chose the most classic of all, the "Shisa-making experience." That's because my son is currently obsessed with playing with clay, so this was the perfect choice! (lol) Another plus is that it seemed like the best way to experience Okinawa's history and culture. Another great thing about the "Sesokojima Maimai Shisa" is that it's only 1 minute away from the Churaumi Aquarium, a must-visit spot for tourists in Okinawa (adults get bored here, but kids want to live...), making it easily accessible. You can stop by on your way home.

The most popular activity in Miyakojima, Okinawa! Introducing our recommended plan for "SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board)"!

Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I'm Shishimaru. After watching the animated movie "Children of the Sea", I really wanted to go to the sea. The depiction of the sea is very beautiful, and the depiction of whales, whale sharks, sea turtles and other sea creatures is also very good, so I started reading the original manga. In it, there was a line that said, "Snorkeling may seem like a casual pastime, but in fact there are many fatal accidents." "On the other hand, if you get the hang of it, it's very useful. It will expand your world." I really empathized with this. My world really expanded after I started snorkeling. The sea is so vast. SUP has expanded my world in the same way. I will introduce the appeal of SUP, which you can start very easily if you rent the necessary equipment.
