I had never heard of Tanegashima before I became interested in surfing. It is an island that belongs to the Osumi Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture. It is located next to Yakushima, a famous World Heritage Site, and is the third largest island in Kagoshima after Amami Oshima and Yakushima. The island's warm tropical climate and beautiful sea attract many tourists who visit the island in search of its rich nature. The Tanegashima Space Center is famous. Talking about surfing, there are many surf points scattered on the island, including Tetsuhama, Sumiyoshi, Hotel Mae (Takezaki Beach), Yakutsu, and others, with a mix of beach breaks and reef breaks, and it is also famous as a popular spot for surf trips (trips for surfing) in search of good quality waves. Many surfers gather there all year round in search of good quality waves, and many surfers are so attracted by the excellent waves that they decide to move there. Is it really a good place for beginners to go? lol
The Kanto region's most well-known surfing spots are the Kujukuri area in Chiba, which has been chosen as the venue for the world-famous sporting event surfing, and Kanagawa/Shonan, whose scenery is often depicted in songs, dramas, and movies. In the summer, you can often see surfers with surfboards or boards loaded onto beach cruisers at each beach. What's more, they range in age from young people who seem to be completely hooked on surfing to older men and women, and even some grandfathers. Perhaps the fact that such a wide range of surfers gather there is the reason it is a "holy land."
The emerald green sea, the blue sky, the white sand, the warm tropical breeze...I'm sure it feels great to ride the waves in Okinawa, one of Japan's most popular resorts, lol. The reality is not as easy as you might imagine, and there are some precautions and dangers that you should not jump in without knowing... First of all, the sea in Okinawa is clearly different from spots in the Kanto region that are known as the holy land of surfing, such as Shonan. It is a "reef break". The bottom line is that the seabed at the point where the surfing waves occur is not sand, but a rugged reef (coral reef or rock).
The tourist spot of Sotobo, which is included in Minamiboso Quasi-National Park in Chiba Prefecture, is so famous that it is said that "when it comes to surfing, it's the Sotobo of Chiba" and is even called a "holy land". The sea of Chiba, with stable waves all year round, is a perfect location for surfing. In addition, it is easily accessible from Tokyo, which is a factor that attracts many surfers. In particular, the area of Choshi, Sotobo, Katsuura, and Minamiboso, known as "Chiba North", is popular with many surfers. On the east coast of the Boso Peninsula, there is Kujukurihama, a beach that stretches from north to south. Along this coastline that stretches for more than 60 km from Iioka to Taito, there are many surf points, from major places to hidden points. Representative points are "Onjuku", "Ichinomiya", "Shidashita", "Katakai", and "Taito". The Ichinomiya area is particularly popular, and you can enjoy sharp waves, so it is frequently visited by intermediate to advanced surfers. It's also a thriving beach town, so there are plenty of stylish cafes and restaurants to choose from.
Hello everyone who is viewing Activity Japan BLOG. As the long-awaited summer vacation season approaches in 2019, it's time to plan a trip to Okinawa, one of our family's annual events. To be honest, I've been to Okinawa more than 10 times already, so I don't think ``I want to do this in Okinawa!'' but I feel like it's my second home, or that this is my Another Sky. Every year around this time, people start talking about going to Okinawa. Speaking of Okinawa, marine leisure is the best part, but I also tried diving, snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, and went on a canoe ride like a jungle cruise... So in 2019, I took time out from sightseeing to go surfing. I'm planning on giving it a try. I found a good experience tour plan in the main island area, so I would like to share it with you!
Speaking of "surf trip islands" in Japan, "Nijima" in the Izu Islands in Tokyo, "Amami Oshima" and "Tanegashima" on the remote islands of Kyushu are known as representative surf spots that are extremely popular among surfers. However, Okinawa is an area that has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years.Among them, Miyakojima in particular has seen a rapid increase in the popularity of surfing in proportion to the increase in the number of tourists and tourists in recent years. It is a popular area for ``surfing experiences'' that receive many reservations in Japan ◎ ``Snorkeling'', ``experience diving'', ``sea kayaking'', ``SUP (stand up paddle board)'', etc. are available during your stay on Miyakojima. There are many marine sports that can be enjoyed casually as leisure activities, but surfing is also similar to those in which basic equipment such as boards, leashes, and wet suits can be rented, and instructors will give detailed lectures. Surfing lesson plans that beginners can participate in safely are being held and are gaining popularity ☆
Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I'm Shishimaru, and I can't help but stare at the cute Kyoko in the advertisements that are playing at Shibuya Station. Kyoko's "Kimi no Hito minikoishiteru" is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy her charm to the fullest. I like it. Did you know that Kyoko is into surfing? Kyoko's abs are so beautiful while surfing that I can't help but stare at the photo. Suddenly, surfing is also number three on my "Ranking of things I definitely want to experience soon". I'll tell you about number one and number two sometime. The ocean near the Kanto region is fine, but I'm imagining that it would be great to surf in the beautiful ocean of a remote island in Okinawa. I've always just been snorkeling, but I'd like to finally try surfing and get closer to Kyoko. There are many remote islands, but for now I've done some research to take a surf trip to my favorite Miyakojima, so I'd like to introduce it to you.
Mission, a surfing school facility in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is the shop we are focusing on this time. It is unique because it allows a wide range of people, from children to adults, from beginners to intermediate and advanced surfers who want to improve their skills, to learn the basics of surfing. NSA-certified instructors provide gentle and thorough instruction, so even complete beginners can take the course with confidence. If you have even the slightest interest in surfing, saying, ``I want to start surfing, but I don't know how,'' you may want to take this course without hesitation. ``Mission'' has female staff members, so it's great that even women can feel free to participate alone. By the way, there are also showers and changing rooms, so you won't have to worry about changing clothes before or after the class.
Summer is here again in 2018! Summer means the ocean! The ocean means surfing! Surfing means Shonan!
