■ From Ishigaki Island to an uninhabited island with only sandy beaches floating in the emerald green sea. Introducing the "Phantom Island (Hamajima) Landing & Snorkeling Tour"!
☑️ This destination, "Hamajima," is also called a "phantom island" because the entire island sinks into the sea at high tide and appears when the tide goes down. You can experience a moving view by landing on a spectacular spot known as a shooting location for numerous commercials, TV, magazines, etc.

[Impression] Please note that this is an individual opinion.
I came to Ishigaki Island for the first time in about 5 years! I used to visit Hamashima with a set of experience diving, but I was just impressed by the clear blue sea that renewed my memory. The point I swam this time is surprising because it is deeper than the past diving (probably about 4m deep).
Due to an airplane accident (due to delays and thunderstorms on Ishigaki Island, I couldn't land), I didn't expect the weather to recover and I had no plan on the first day, but as a result, I'm glad I got off to a good start. I think it is recommended in every situation because you can feel free to participate.
▼ Self introduction
A couple who were fascinated by the sea of Okinawa moved to the main island of Okinawa in the summer of 2019. I will do my best to make a video that conveys the excitement and discoveries of every day!
We hope you enjoy watching it while enjoying the feeling of traveling to Okinawa.
