At the west-end of Japan, you’ll have an amazingly beautiful and unique view of Kuju-ku-shima (Kuju-ku means 99 and shima means islands, but there’re actually 208 islands, including mere rocks!), which is called Saikai Pearl Sea Resort!



What you can do here is,

1. Pearl-picking


Choose one of the pearl oysters,
Carefully, pick up the pearl.


Now the pearl is yours!
(Pearl picking is for 500 yen. You can ask for fixing it to a pendant for additional 2,000 yen.)

2. `Pearl Queen’ Cruising


1,200 yen for adults, 600 yen for children (up to 6th grade).

Or if you’re to bring your children, why not try Pirate Ship, `Kaizoku-sen‘, which has more entertainment? (the same price).

3. Explore an aquarium which has sea creatures and international ship models.


How friendly he is!

Besides, you can enjoy yacht, sailing and kayaking.
