2019/06/23

Okinawa's tourist spots are roughly divided into four areas. The central and southern areas, which have many tourist spots, are the most famous in Okinawa. If you know Okinawa even a little, this area includes well-known cities such as Naha and Itoman. The central area of the main island includes the date spot Chatan and the popular resort area Onna Village. The northern area of the main island, which includes Nago, the second most famous town after Naha, is famous for the Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu Town. In addition, Okinawa has several remote islands. In recent years, it has become such a hot topic that it is no exaggeration to say that there is a "remote island boom." Popular remote islands in Okinawa include the Kerama Islands, Ishigaki Island, and Miyako Island, as well as Sesoko Island, which can be reached by car from the main island, and Minna Island, which is a 15-minute boat ride away.

Choose from the 2019 Okinawa Popular Activity Rankings! 3 Okinawa trendy leisure activities you should experience this summer!

2019/06/21

When I opened the Activity Japan website, I found that the latest 2019 "Okinawa Popular Activity Ranking" had been announced in a timely manner. Each company releases these at just the right time. I guess it's the summer vacation sales season, but it's a corporate strategy that stimulates not materialistic desires but "desire to travel" lol. According to the ranking article, this year, rather than the latest activities or unusual experiences, the popularity of marine sports such as "snorkeling" and "trial diving", which allow you to enjoy the Okinawan sea in a simpler way, is rekindling. This may be due to the fact that there are many foreigners and people traveling to Okinawa for the first time, but in the end, it's still "simple is best".

A sea kayak is a type of canoe that is compact, measuring about 3 to 4 meters in length, and is suitable for shallow waters and rocky areas. It is propelled by rowing through the water using a paddle with blades on both ends. One of its attractions is that it moves forward, rather than backwards like a boat, which is rowed with two oars. It is close to the water's surface, so you can observe underwater creatures such as tropical fish and coral reefs while rowing.

The latest information for 2019! 3 popular and recommended tour plans for the popular Okinawa main island activity "parasailing"!

2019/06/15

Parasailing (sometimes called parashine, parasail, or paraking) is popular in tropical resorts such as Hawaii and Guam overseas, and Okinawa in Japan. It is a marine sport in which you soar from the sea into the sky while being pulled by a motorboat with a parachute attached to a rope. Since you are only being pulled by the motorboat, it does not require difficult piloting skills, and you can enjoy an exhilarating and impressive panoramic view of the sky and sea. The parachute is tethered to the motorboat, and takeoff and landing are all done on board. It is much easier to fly than paragliding, which requires you to take off on your own.

Start your surfing life in Miyakojima, the most beautiful sea in Japan! Considering a beginner's surfing school as part of your Okinawa trip!

2019/06/01

Emerald green sea, blue sky, white sandy beaches, warm tropical breezes... surfing in Okinawa, one of Japan's leading resort destinations, is bound to be a great experience, right? (laughs) I think that's exactly what you'd imagine, but it's not as simple as you might imagine, and there are precautions and dangers to be aware of before jumping in without knowing... First of all, what makes Okinawa's ocean distinctly different from the so-called surfing mecca of Shonan and other areas in the Kanto region is that it is a "reef break." In other words, the seabed at the point where the waves form, the field for surfing, is not "sand," but a rugged "reef (coral reef or rocks)."

The best thing about diving in Okinawa is the outstanding transparency. The high transparency also translates into good visibility underwater, so you can enjoy the beautiful location to your heart's content. Next, the encounter with the colorful tropical fish swimming around the coral reefs, the giant rays such as green sea turtles and manta rays, and the sharks called whitetip reef sharks, which are unique to Okinawa, is the charm and the best part of scuba diving in Okinawa. Another attractive feature is that Okinawa has a warm climate and you can dive all year round, regardless of the season. The most popular season is May to September, when the sea is warm and it is the breeding season for creatures, and the best season is said to be around early July, just after the rainy season ends. World-famous diving spots include the Kerama Islands and the Blue Cave in Onna Village, and many divers from both Japan and abroad enjoy the beautiful underwater world at numerous spots, including remote islands such as Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island.
