Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

Miyakojima Recommended Tour (advance booking required): Lunch and drinks provided on board. Boarding at 11:30 AM, departure at 12:30 PM, return to pier at 2:00 PM. The cruise passes by Irabu Bridge and its surrounding areas. After lunch, you can go to the B1 deck to view the underwater world or the main deck to enjoy the sea views.

The fishing experience was a lot of fun! The captain and crew were enthusiastic and helpful throughout, and the boat had a restroom, which was very convenient for our group. The waves were quite strong that day, and some members of our group got seasick and needed to return to shore early, so we weren't able to cook and eat the fish for lunch as planned. However, the overall experience was still very satisfying!
Tip: If you're prone to seasickness, remember to take motion sickness medication beforehand 🎣 Also, we recommend saving the operator's contact information directly, as Klook customer service may not respond immediately before 8 AM.

Captain Jun is extremely nice. Brought us out even though it’s just the two of us. We are beginners. Captain Jun guided and taught us how to fish. We caught quite a lot of fishes. Smaller fishes are being released back to the ocean.

An amazing indoor parent-child amusement park! The fishing and treasure hunt experience is novel and fun, and you can take home the gems you dig up. There are diverse facilities and friendly service, and it's not affected by the weather. Kids can play for half a day without getting bored. Highly recommended for families.

The experience was great! There were no issues with bad attitudes; the boat captain was very patient and easy to communicate with. After fishing, we found a nearby restaurant and paid the owner 2000 to prepare five of our fish into several dishes, which were absolutely delicious!

The captain is very nice, and everyone managed to catch a fish. He would move to better fishing spots when needed, though the fishing lines snapped rather easily, which wasted some time. The actual fishing time was about an hour, and pretty much everyone caught something. You can choose to take your catch with you, and they will recommend restaurants that can cook them for you. These might be a bit far from the harbor, but if you catch a lot, it is quite worth it to have them prepared, and they taste delicious.

Mami is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever met. She was incredibly warm and enthusiastic, helping us discover all kinds of wildlife and experience the local culture. She was also so patient and thoughtful when taking photos for us.
I hope everyone can continue to pursue what they love and stay true to their passion, just like Mami does. ❤️
