Things to do in Tokashiki

When I arrived in Okinawa, I had made some travel guides. If the weather was good, I would choose a day to visit Tokashiki Island. It was very convenient to find the place to buy the boat ticket. Since it was the off-season, I did not make an appointment online. I could buy the boat ticket by filling out the form on the spot. After buying the ticket, the other party carefully told me how to get to the dock and gave me a map. I took the speedboat to Tokashiki Island.

I was stunned because it was the first time I'd ever seen such a beautiful ocean😊 I did some SUP and snorkeling, and I could see the sea turtles and the ocean was emerald green, so I was just moved🥹🥹

The water is incredibly clear! It's a relaxing island located just a short distance from Naha Station ^_^

"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. 》In Japan, every year from December to January, a magical animal will travel south from the waters of Alaska in the north to the offshore waters of Okinawa to breed offspring - whales. The best place to see them is the Kerama Islands in Okinawa. In the hot summer, people dive in Okinawa, and in late autumn they listen to the roar of the waves. Tourists who come to Okinawa during the two months of winter can see groups of humpback whales dancing on the beach and have close contact with the king of the sea. here, The Kerama Islands, 40 kilometers west of Naha Island, are composed of more than 20 islands, including inhabited and uninhabited islands. This island is also quite famous as a diving destination in the world. The water near the Kerama Islands is very transparent and clear. This island group not only has eye-catching beauty due to God’s miraculous workmanship, but has also been protected by society and people. In November 2005, about 120 hectares of sea area on the west side of Tokashiki Island and about 233 hectares of sea area between Zamami Island and Aka Island including uninhabited islands were included in the Ramsar Convention under the name of "Kerama Islands Sea Area" List of Wetlands of International Importance. Surrounded by sea water, the Kerama Islands have an excellent ecological environment. They provide people with a wonderful environment during the diving season, and in the cold winter, they also provide a place for whales to gather and breed. Riding on a boat that cuts through the water, tourists can see the majestic posture of this giant animal next to the mast. Not only can you see the huge humpback whale sometimes leaping out of the water, bringing up water splashes several meters high, sometimes slapping the water with its tail, creating waves on the calm sea; you can even hear the male whale swimming in the vast sea. The sound of wooing female whales penetrates the entire sea area. It is completely different from seeing the light goldfish in the fish pond. The freedom of whales can only be seen in the endless sea. It is a spectacular and extraordinary sight that is rarely seen in the world. People love the slender little life, but they are also in awe of such a huge creature. In this winter, take Peach Airlines from Hong Kong to Okinawa. As winter slowly approaches, go to the waters of the Kerama Islands, feel the dancing and living whales, and feel the vastness of the sea and the shock of the creatures.

Besides aquarium creatures, there’s also penguins and other animals

I walked for a long time but didn't meet anyone. When I met someone, they would smile and say hello to each other. I turned a corner and there was the sea. It was the first time I realized that there are so many different shades of blue in the sea.

It was a very interesting experience. Although the visibility in the sea was second to last, we could still see the small fish very clearly, which allowed my teammate, who can't snorkel, to see the underwater world. Thumbs up to the skinny, small guy leading the group; he was so nice and always smiling.

Beautiful and quiet beach. There are few people in winter~ From Tokashiki Island, you can reach Aharen Beach by bus in about 15 minutes. The one-way trip costs 400 yen. The scenery along the way is great. When driving through the mountain road, you can overlook the entire beach from the top of the mountain There are water activities on the beach. You can pay for boating and swimming. But many businesses are closed in winter. There is only one store that rents snorkeling equipment. The brave can try swimming. When the sun is strong during the day, the sea water is not very cold and it is acceptable~

It is convenient to visit. It is because it is nearby the train station. It has a lot of restaurants. The food are various.
