Kouri-jima [Kouri island] : The beautiful island you can go to by bus from Naha! Snorkeling Paradise.

You may be disappointed by the urban atmosphere of Naha city, which is the capital of Okinawa prefecture. The beaches there are strictly controlled and snorkeling is forbidden. I visited Kouri-jima by express bus and a free shuttle. And it was a really satisfying snorkeling spot.

[Hokkaido and Okinawa] why are they so fascinating? These opposite areas are quite different from the rest of Japan!

These 2 regions are at exactly opposite ends of Japan. Hokkaido is cold and Okinawa has a tropical climate. However, They have a certain kind of atmosphere in common - "somewhat new to Japan”. I also wrote about what you can expect in these 2 regions.
