Mikura-jima No.2


You can enjoy the island by not only swimming with dolphine in the sea but also
hinking in the woods. You may be able to find some wild animals including fulmar.
You will see fulmar's nesting holes in the woods. They need to climb up a tree
to take off bacause they cannot take off directly from the ground.
You will certainly see many box trees, Miura-jima is famous for the craft made
of the trees. You can purchase the craft works as well as you can actually make
your own craft work by yourself on the island.
Note: To go hiking in the woods, you must register and go with a official guide.

Mikura-jima No.1


There are many dolphin in Japan, even in Tokyo.

Just after sleep one night on a ship,
you will get to Mikura-jima (Island): dolphin's permanent home.

After a short rest at your accommodation on the island, you should hop on a small boat to see the beautiful marine creature.

Soon after leaving a port, some dolphin will welcome you.
When they are willing to play with you, jump into the water and swim with them. Though it is quite tough to swim with them,
you will forget all about the time and keep playing with you.

Electric Vehicle @ Yokohama


When travelling in Japan, you will see many unique things that you may be able to find only in Japan. This photo is one on them. Some "cute" electric vehicles are tied with buttery charging poles. They looks like tamed animals, don't they? Combining Manga-like appearance and high technology. This is one of the typical scenes in Japan.

Niseko @ Hokkaido No.1


Ski season has started in Hokkaido, North Island in Japan.
Niseko is one of the most popular places to enjoy winter sports for both Japanese and foreign visitors. After skiing or sonowboarding, why don't you take a hot spring to relax? Then, have fun with good foods and drinks. You may see many Aussie mates hanging around there.
