Ready for a face-to-face encounter with a manta ray? Take the plunge in the warm waters of Okinawa and discover the delights of scuba diving in Japan.

While the whole Okinawa area is reputed for its coral reef, the southern Yaeyama archipelago is particularly prized among divers because of the high chances of seeing manta ray.

Conditions for scuba diving are first-rate thanks to clear, shallow waters that offer exceptional visibility. As soon as you near the ocean floor, you’ll be able to admire shoals of colourful fish swimming around the majestic coral reef – and there’s a good chance of spotting a manta ray.

You can also sign up for a half-day of snorkelling, offering you an alternative activity to admire the exceptional beauty of this underwater universe.

Guests can try their hand at artisanal crafts such as wickerwork.

Places like Taketomi island are still rare. This preserved island in the South of Japan gathers craftsmen with exceptional skill. It should be said that the local flora is generous here, providing them with everything they need – such as the abundance of pandanus trees growing along the coastline, producing leaves used in these basket making.

Enjoy a private lesson in the lounge and build your own basket.

Enjoy a daily music and song show during which a local musician will introduce you to the traditional instrument from Okinawa, the sanshin, which resembles a 3-string banjo.

History let us know that the sanshin appeared about 600 years ago. This traditional string instrument can be found in the Ryukyu islands, an archipelago near Taiwan in the Okinawa prefecture. Its name may derive from the Chinese “sanxian”, a similar instrument brought over by immigrants in the second half of the 14th century. However, sanshin was originally reserved for entertaining the royal court. The instrument was eventually taken up by the general public, and remains very popular to this day.
