Water Sports and Beach Fun in the Oki Islands

sea-kayaking

sea kayaking

Oki Islands are located in the Sea of Japan (a shallow, basin-like sea) that has a large cold body of water, and the Tsushima Warm Current that flows through the sea. As a result, the marine biodiversity of Oki can be enjoyed through local food and also underwater.

 

 Marine Sports

 In the summer months, scuba diving and snorkeling are popular. Sea kayaking is popular from spring to autumn. You can try these activities on Dogo, Nishinoshima and Nakanoshima islands.
 Night Diving is a unique activity, where fishing lights are used to attract fish. Divers enter the water and explore the sea at night, surrounded by schools of fish! This unique activity can only be enjoyed in Nishinoshima Island, the first place in Japan to invent this thrilling dive. Divers from around Japan (and France and Germany in 2013) come to Oki to explore the Sea of Japan at night.

Fishing

There are many keen fishermen in Oki. You can hire fishing gear at many stores and try to catch your dinner! Many people fish near the port. Some islands have fishing pontoons or fishing parks where you can enjoy a few hours of fishing. There are also fishing charter boats – fish with your captain for snapper (day) or squid (night)!
