Diving in Okinawa
___________________________________________________

Located at the southwestern tip of the Japanese archipelago, Okinawa is comprised of 160 islands, 49 of which are inhabited, spreading 1000 kilometres/620 miles from east to west and 400 kilometres/250 miles from north to south. Okinawa’s proximity to Southeast Asia once made it an important trading hub; now, the region is growing in popularity as a dive destination for Chinese and Korean tourists due to its beauty and close proximity to Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Seoul.

A subtropical, world-class diving destination, Okinawa’s crystal-clear waters allow divers to truly appreciate its stunning underwater seascapes. Caves, tunnels, drops and wrecks are all commonplace, and the endless opportunities to explore are what makes the diving in Okinawa so addictive. From the mysterious ruins of Yonaguni and the scattered remnants of from WWII, to the Manta Scramble of Ishigaki Island and the schools of gigantic hammerhead shark at Kume Island, Okinawa is a diver’s delight.

Yosuji-no-ne, Okinawa (main island) – This dive site is named after the yosuji, or blue-banded snapper that inhabit this spot in large schools at depths of 24 metres/80 feet. Here, divers will find luminous cardinalfish, sea goldies and schooling bannerfish, which like to group around rocks at depths of 16 metres/50 feet.

Visibility – Average visibility is 30-40 metres/100-130 feet. Due to coral spawning from mid-May to June, visibility at some sites drop to 15-20 metres/50-65 feet. During winter, the water can be crystal clear with 50-metre/165-foot visibility when it’s sunny.

Water Temperature – January to March: 21-23° C/70-73° F; April to June: 23-26° C/73-79° F; July to September: 27-29° C/81-84° F; October to December: 24-27° C/75-81° F

Weather – Okinawa’s subtropical climate keeps it comfortable and temperate year-round. During winter, temperatures rarely drop below 10° C/50° F, and during summer you’ll feel comfortable in a shade when the sea breeze blows. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s strong rays. The southern islands, such as Miyako and Ishigaki, tend to be 1-2° C/2-4° F warmer than Okinawa Island.

Featured Creatures – Thanks to the subtropical temperatures, Okinawa has a rich diversity and many marine species can be found year-round including: anthias, butterflyfish, boxfish, pufferfish, clownfish, moray eels, octopuses, cuttlefish, sea turtles and manta rays. Divers frequently report seeing large schools of dogtooth tuna and bigeye trevally. During winter, humpback whales visit the seas of Okinawa to breed; however, during this season there is a high possibility of encountering vessels.

Jodogahama Beach
___________________________________________________

It’s summer time now in Japan, there is no other place to go better than plunge to the beach, and one of the most beautiful beach here in japan is the Jodogahama Beach.

Jodogahama Beach (浄土ヶ浜, Jōdogahama, lit. "Pure Land Beach") is a beautiful beach just outside of central Miyako City in Iwate Prefecture. It is one of the more famous tourist sites along the Sanriku Coast and part of the Sanriku Recovery National Park. Jodogahama features a beautiful white pebble shoreline and clear, calm waters punctuated by jagged, rocky islands. This memorable landscape invokes images of the "Pure Land", a Buddhist concept of paradise, which the beach derives its name from.

Ranked one of the one hundred best beaches and swimming spots in Japan, Jodogahama Beach is particularly popular in summer. It attracts visitors with its clear inlet that is sheltered from the open ocean. A rest house near the beach provides showers, toilets, changing rooms, a shop and a dining hall. The rest house and several other tourist facilities in the area were destroyed by the 2011 tsunami, but were rebuilt in the meantime.

Iwate Kenpoku Bus operates one or two buses per hour between Miyako Station and Jodogahama. All buses stop at the Jodogashima Visitor Center (15 minutes, 180 yen one way), and selected buses go further to the actual beach at the Oku-Jodogahama bus stop (20 minutes, 220 yen).

The beach is a 10-15 minute walk from the Jodogashima Visitor Center. The road leading from the main parking lot to the beach is closed to private vehicles from April through October. A shuttle bus operates to the beach every 30 minutes during the busy seasons.

Byodoin Temple
___________________________________________________
Byodoin Temple (平等院, Byōdōin) is a striking example of Buddhist Pure Land (Jodo) architecture. Together with its garden, the temple represents the Pure Land Paradise and was influential on later temple construction. Byodoin was initially built in 998 as a countryside retreat villa for the powerful politician Fujiwara no Michinaga, not as a temple.

Michinaga's son turned Byodoin into a temple and ordered the construction of its most spectacular feature, the Phoenix Hall. Although the building was given another official name, almost immediately after its construction in 1053, it was nicknamed Hoodo ("Phoenix Hall") because of its shape and the two phoenix statues on its roof. The hall is now featured on the back of the Japanese ten yen coin.

Byodoin's buildings were repeatedly lost to fires and other calamities over the centuries, however, the Phoenix Hall was never destroyed, making it one of the few original wooden structures to survive from the Heian Period. Visitors to Byodoin can enter the Phoenix Hall on short guided tours (in Japanese) that start every 20 minutes and cost an additional 300 yen. It houses a statue of the Amida Buddha.

Byodoin's unique treasure house is constructed mostly underground to not distract from the Phoenix Hall. It exhibits an assortment of the temple's most valuable artifacts, including dozens of designated important cultural properties and national treasures. The treasure house also contains informative, multilingual displays on Byodoin's construction and history.

Byodoin is a 10-15 minute walk from JR Uji Station or Keihan Uji Station.

Hours
8:30 to 17:30 (entry until 17:15)
Treasure house from 9:00 to 17:00 (entry until 16:45)

Closed
No closing days

Admission

Legoland Japan
___________________________________________________
Legoland Japan opened in April 2017 in Nagoya. The outdoor amusement park has many attractions aimed at young children and some attractions of interest to accompanying adults. Visitors can expect large Lego models, rides, building stations and dining areas.

The amusement park is separated into seven themed areas, matching the different universes in the Lego world. Right in the middle of the park is "Miniland Japan" which highlights the iconic attractions across the entire country and is constructed out of millions of Lego bricks. Here you can find Kyoto, Tokyo and Mount Fuji just a few steps away from one another. The rotating Observation Tower not far from Miniland offers a bird's eye view of the park and its surroundings.

Factory and Bricktopia are two themed areas that are located right by the entrance of the park. Factory offers a factory tour where visitors can learn more about how Lego bricks are manufactured, including the types of machinery used. Bricktopia has rides as well as a hands-on area where visitors can attend workshops to learn more about model and robotics creation, and a model building and testing room. There is a Duplo playground for toddlers as well. An official Lego shop, The Big Shop, sells Lego sets and products from across the Lego universe.

The remaining four areas, Adventure, Lego City, Knight's Kingdom and Pirate Shores offer a range of attractions and scheduled shows. Note that shows are in Japanese only.

Younger children would enjoy Lego City, a theme zone which is made specifically for children. There is at least one themed shop and restaurant in each area, as well as a free-to-build section for visitors who want to build models. Character mascots can also be found in their themed areas and are typically obliging with pictures.

A pleasant collection of shops and restaurants is found just outside the entrance to Legoland. Furthermore, a Legoland Hotel and aquarium are currently being built and are expected to open in 2018.

Edo Wonderland
___________________________________________________
Nikko Edomura (Edo Wonderland) is a history theme park recreating Japanese town life during the Edo Period (1603-1868). The park is really a small town built in Edo style architecture and populated by townspeople in period costume, and has been used as the setting for period tv dramas. Park guests have the opportunity to dress up as well (costumes can be rented for a fee) and tour the town's historically based shops and museums, participate in games and see live shows and theater.

There are various shops and restaurants around Edo Wonderland, most of which sell souvenirs such as teapots, woodblock prints and toy weapons. Other shops however, such as the Blacksmith and Armor Repair Shop, are replica storefronts that show how period craftsmen worked. In addition, there are two wax museums, Kodenmacho Jail House and Kira-Kozukenosuke Residence which show grisly scenes of prison life, torture, battle and vengeance.

Other attractions around town, dubbed Experience Zones, are amusements such as a Haunted Temple filled with Japanese spirits and demons, and a House of Illusion where the walls seem to bend and balls roll uphill. One of the best attractions is the Ninja Trick Maze, which is a human sized labyrinth that is definitely a challenge to escape from.

Finally, visitors to Edo Wonderland should not miss one of the park's live shows held at various theaters around the town. Performances vary from comic shows and traditional water magic, to live action, including the popular Grand Ninja Theater, where sword battles, magic, and martial arts are part of the show. The shows are held daily, with multiple performances each day.

Tobu operates buses between Kinugawa Onsen Station and Nikko Edomura (Edo Wonderland). The trip takes 20 minutes, costs 410 yen one way, and buses depart every 20-30 minutes. They are covered by the Kinugawa Themepark Pass and the Marugoto Nikko Kinugawa Free Pass.

Additionally, a free shuttle bus operates between Nikko Edomura and Fujiya Kanko Center near Nikko's Toshogu Shrine. There are 4-5 round trips per day, but buses only operate on days when Edomura is open. The one way trip takes 35 minutes, and some buses stop at JR Nikko Station along the way.

TOTO MUSEUM
___________________________________________________

The Toto Museum (TOTO ミュージアム) in Kitakyushu was opened on the occasion of the company's 100th anniversary and showcases the evolution of the business and its products. The elegant two-story building stands on the grounds of the company headquarters, has a showroom on the first floor and the museum on the second floor.

The museum leads visitors through the history of Toto, beginning with the first ceramic flush toilet seat developed in 1914 and the company's formal establishment in 1917 as a pioneer player in the ceramic sanitation industry at a time when most of Japan was still without a sewerage system. Old toilet seats are on display, as well as exquisite porcelain tableware that the company used to produce as a side business in the past.

One of the museum's highlights is the gallery showing the evolution of toilets and other Toto products over the decades. These include toilet bowls, washlets, urinals, bath tubs and fittings. The last gallery displays bathroom units sold overseas, tailored to suit the different regions.

The Toto Museum is about a ten minute bus ride from Kokura Station. Take bus number 21, 22, 23, 25, 26 or 43 from the bus terminal at the south exit of Kokura Station to Kifunemachi (貴船町, 190 yen one way, frequent departures) from where the museum is just across the street. Alternatively, take the Kitakyushu Monorail from Kokura Station to Kawaraguchi-Mihagino Station (5 minutes, 200 yen one way) and walk from there to the museum in about ten minutes.
