If you wish to change all of your clothes, you may do so in the ship's washroom.
Those who are being picked up and dropped off can leave their bathing suits on, but those who come by rental car are asked to use the restrooms on the ship, as it is better to keep their cars dry as much as possible.

There are no lockers, but there are boxes on the ship to store your luggage. However, the size of the boxes is limited, so please bring only the bare necessities such as towels, sunscreen, anti-sickness medicine, and valuables.

There is a simple shower provided on the boat. In winter, hot water is available.

Q. What is the difference between the two?I have poor eyesight, can I still do it?

This tour was a wonderful program that allowed us to fully enjoy the ocean of Ishigaki Island in a short time. Especially, the beauty of the ocean and the abundance of diverse creatures we saw during the diving experience were breathtaking. The island of illusion was even more beautiful than I expected, and it was a great spot to take pictures. The instructor was very attentive and supportive, and I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

I joined the half-day course in the morning and it was a beautiful experience, as if I was in another world. The island was just as fantastic as the name suggests, and the diving in Shihsi lagoon was breathtaking, with a world of colorful fish and coral. I was able to get photo data to show off to my family!
