Kushimoto is located at the southeast point of Japan’s Honshu (main island).
The dive shop, Coral Queen, owns a boat and takes us to off shore points if the condition permits.
I’m lucky and went to all off shore points, 5 dives in two days.
On Saturday, I went to Shimamawari, Ichinone and Ninone; on Sunday, Ninone and Ichinone.
These diving spots are with interesting landscape, fish (tropical fish, too) and creatures (including edible ones such as Ise Lobsters, Slipper Lobster and shells) and corals (hard and soft).
Rockfish with a group of Silver-Stripe Round Herring
Crack
I named it, Half Dome, or is it more like Shark Fin?
Boxfish
Many fish
Corals
You can see that ocean is beautiful; therefore, seafood is so fresh and delicious!!
Lunch at Coral Queen is nice: Shirasu-don (Baby Sardine Bowl)
And dinner at town, Matsu-zushi.
It’s a bit far from Tokyo, 7 hours to reach there, but I would love to go back Kushimoto, Wakayama again to enjoy diving and food!
