The facilities were great. It was convenient to be able to board the boat without getting wet and head out to see the sunset on the “Mysterious Island.” If I had to nitpick, it was a bit of a shame that there were some clouds, but the view was beautiful.

I made a surprise reservation for our trip with my boyfriend! We headed to the “Phantom Island” on a comfortable cruise ship without getting wet, and watching the sunset from the pristine white sandy beach was so romantic it’s hard to put into words… The gradation of colors as the sun sank into the sea was truly beautiful, and it became a special memory that neither of us will ever forget♪

The sunset viewed from the "Phantom Island" was truly special. It's great that you can easily join in without having to change out of your clothes. However, there were quite a few clouds that day, so it wasn't a perfect sunset—I'll give it 4 stars.

I was worried because I’m prone to seasickness, but thanks to the calm waves and the staff’s kind encouragement, even a beginner like me was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Since you can disembark without getting wet, there’s no hassle getting ready, and I was truly moved by the sunset over the “mythical island” spread out before my eyes. If I had to mention one thing, there were times when the sunlight was quite bright, so sunglasses would make it perfect. I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

First, we boarded a boat at the port on Kohama Island and set off for the “phantom island,” feeling the sea breeze. The gentle rocking of the boat was pleasant, and we arrived in no time. Next, we went ashore fully clothed without getting wet and took a leisurely stroll along the pristine white sandy beach. Finally, we marveled at the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon as far as the eye could see, and were deeply moved by the grandeur of nature. It was a truly fulfilling experience.
