Marine activities such as snorkeling and diving, which are mainly for exploring the ocean and observing marine life, are therefore popular here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E8%A5%BF%E7%A4%81%E6%B9%96%E3%81%AE%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%8D%E6%96%B9\"><\/span>How to get to Shihsi Lagoon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17933\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Coral of Ishigaki Island\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0990-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ishinishi lagoon is widely spread over Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island and can be accessed by going offshore.

The easiest way to access the Shihsi Lagoon is to take a tour. If you want to do everything on your own, you will need to charter a boat and rent a set of snorkeling and diving equipment. In addition, there is no guide, so safety is not guaranteed. If you take a tour, all of the above can be satisfied.<br \/>\nThe following tours are recommended to visit such Shihsi Jagged Lake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3649\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book a snorkeling trip to Phantom Island.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E8%A5%BF%E7%A4%81%E6%B9%96%E3%81%AE%E8%A9%B3%E7%B4%B0%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1\"><\/span>More information about Shihsi lagoon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17929\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Coral of Ishigaki Island\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI001185-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Boasting the largest coral reef zone in Japan, Ishinishi lagoon serves as a habitat and spawning ground for creatures over a wide area of ocean, supporting the marine ecosystem of the waters surrounding Ishigaki Island.

This activity is not to be missed when visiting Shihsi lagoon.<br \/>\nShihsi lagoon extends even at relatively shallow depths. If you are lucky, you can encounter not only coral and tropical fish, but also sea turtles and manta rays.<br \/>\nYou can even meet Nemo, a popular Disney character! The crystal clear waters are also great for those who are not good swimmers, as you can observe fish just floating around without going to the bottom of the ocean.<br \/>\nAs you explore the Shihsi lagoon, look for \"fish fields\" where fish school, coral fields, and sea turtles can be found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%83%80%E3%82%A4%E3%83%93%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0\"><\/span>diving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17931\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Coral of Ishigaki Island\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_7532-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The next activity we will introduce is diving.<br \/>\nCompared to snorkeling, there is a lot of equipment that looks difficult and requires a license, which may make you feel like you can't do it easily, but that is not true. However, this is not the case. Beginners without a license can experience diving with a guide.<br \/>\nThe tour guide will also provide you with all the necessary equipment, and you will receive a detailed lecture before you dive, so you can enjoy underwater exploration without any hustle and bustle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Compared to snorkeling, diving allows you to stay underwater for longer periods of time, allowing you to spend more time observing and photographing marine life. Also, even though many areas are shallow, snorkelers have to swim underwater while considering their breathing limits, which limits the depths they can explore. Diving, on the other hand, allows you to go deeper than snorkeling and observe a wider range of creatures. Diving is recommended for those who want to take their time to explore the Shihsi lagoon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A8%E3%82%81\"><\/span>summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17921\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Snorkeling in Ishigaki Island\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0999-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We have introduced Ishinishi Jagoho.
