青海島観光汽船[おおみじまかんこうきせん]
Omi Island, one of Yamaguchi Prefecture's top scenic spots, has been selected as one of Japan's 100 most beautiful landscapes. Known as the "Maritime Alps," the island features dramatic rock formations and caves shaped by the powerful waves of the Sea of Japan. The best way to experience this natural wonder is on a sightseeing boat operated by Omi Island Tourist Boat. Along with the breathtaking views, you can enjoy the captain’s entertaining and humorous commentary.
ON SHORE
ON SHORE, a facility located on Amami Oshima, is run by a local owner who knows everything about Amami's seas, and will guide you to its points of pride, such as a landing tour to the unexplored Kotori Beach in the northern part of the island, which can only be reached by boat. There are also many other fun activities that allow you to experience the great nature of Amami, such as boat snorkeling, sea turtle beach snorkeling, whale watching, SUP, surfing, and beach yoga. We support everyone from beginners to veterans in creating memories of their Amami trip. The luxurious tour, which takes you on a private luxury cruiser, is also popular.
