Okinoshima Island

Tajiri is located at the eastern end of Tottori Prefecture and faces the Sea of Japan. The surrounding coastline has a complex topography and has been registered as a nature park as a “geopark“ on the San-in Coast. The complexity of the terrain continues into the sea, and there are many waterways and horizontal holes, and there are also caves at the half-surface of the water, making it very popular among divers who like the terrain. Compared to other clownfish species, the pink clownfish has a clearer pattern as a juvenile and is redder in color, giving it a clownfish-like design. This is why they are called “Nimodango“ and have become a popular subject.

Kanmurishima Island is an uninhabited island with a circumference of 4km near the exit of Wakasa Bay in Kyoto Prefecture. The site is famous for its natural monument, the Great Horned Plover.

You will need to be taken to the beach by a service boat from Kamiko Fishing Port, as there is no access from land. Thanks to its location inside the bay, it is not affected by major weather conditions. Entry is from a sandy area, and the water gradually gets deeper. You can also ensure the water is deep enough for a restricted water area. To the right of the entry (north), there are rocky areas where bottom fish live.
