– About the Attraction | Okinawa Winter Whale Watching Tour –

▲ Humpback Whale
Humpback whales can reach up to 17 meters in length, about nine times the size of an adult dolphin. They are the longest-migrating whales, covering approximately 25,000 kilometers annually. Their habit of tumbling out of the water, slapping the surface with their broad, thick tail fin, creates waves, making them a favorite spot for whale watchers.

▲ Senaga Island
Senaga Island is a small island located south of Naha Airport. In August 2015, Umikaji Terrace, a large shopping mall featuring hotels, restaurants, and shops, opened on Senaga Island. The whitewashed Umikaji Terrace evokes a sense of Europe, earning it the nickname "Little Greece" by tourists and locals. Not only can visitors indulge in shopping, but they can also enjoy the stunning ocean views that add to Okinawa's winter beauty.

Ryujin no Yu, a natural hot spring on Senaga Island, draws its water from 1,000 meters below the surface. A generous 500 liters of water gushes out every minute. The water's ingredients warm the body from the inside out, earning it the nickname "Child Treasure Hot Spring." Because the spring water is a strong sodium chloride salt spring, it's said to be effective in promoting blood circulation and relieving muscle tension. This hot spring water warms the body from the inside out, maintaining a warm feeling even after leaving. Soaking in the large open-air bath, filled with this natural hot spring water, while watching the beautiful winter scenery of Okinawa, as the sun slowly sets over the vast west coast sea towards the Kerama Islands, is a truly relaxing experience.
