Why dive in Japan?

An island nation stretching over 3,000 kilometers (1,900 miles) along East Asia's Pacific coast, Japan’s diverse marine environments create a vibrant underwater paradise that shouldn’t be missed.

Expansive coastlines Among a total of 6,852 islands, the four main islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. The Ryukyu Islands and Nanpo Islands are located south of Kyushu. Due to Japan's long coastlines, the country boasts extensive marine resources.

Where warm and cold water marine life thrive The Oyashio ("Parental Tide") is a cold subarctic ocean current that flows southward and circulates counterclockwise along the east coast of Hokkaido and northeastern Honshu. This nutrient rich current collides with the Kuroshio ("Black Tide") Current with the warm current from the south, off the eastern shore of Japan to form the North Pacific Current.

The nutrient-rich Oyashio is named for its metaphorical role as the parent that provides for and nurtures marine organisms.

Coastal upwelling reveals deep-sea creatures Japan is also a place where you can encounter creatures that are rarely seen in the world thanks to the unique underwater land terrain that causes the “coastal upwelling” from the deep sea.

A biodiversity hotspot A total of 33,629 species have been reported to occur around Japan. While constituting a mere 0.9 percent of the global ocean volume, Japanese waters encompass 14.6 percent of all 230,000 marine species found worldwide.

A northern slice of the far-flung Tohoku region, it’s no surprise that Akita’s attractions are nature-based. Akitans live their lives according to the rhythm of nature, celebrating events to a distinctly agricultural calendar. Throughout the year, trekking, camping, boat cruising, swimming, climbing and hot springs abound.

Yamagata More Than A Winter Wonderland Outside of winter not many people venture into the hills of Yamagata, located in the southwest of the already remote Tohoku region. This is despite the abundance of hot springs, mountaintop temples, natural parks and a giant game of human chess vying for tourists’ attention during the rest of the year. Yes, the skiing at Zao Onsen ski resort, with it’s famous ‘ice monsters’, is epic but it’s not the prefecture’s only attraction. Make the effort to discover the rest—the rewards are plenty.

Shimanto River Valley: Japan’s Best Kept Secret

Kagawa's Array Of Attractions Won’t Let You A way

In the past, Kochi’s inaccessible landscape meant it was cut off from the rest of Japan, leaving the prefecture to form its own distinct personality as strong and untamed as its natural surroundings.

Kochi people are resilient, self-reliant and just a little rebellious.

Kagawa might be the smallest of Shikoku’s four prefectures but it packs one diverse sightseeing punch. It’s home to the final 22 temples on the Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage, including Zentsu-ji, the largest of all of the temples, as well as the Shinto sea shrine, Kompira-san, reachable via a calf-shredding 1,368 stone steps. Takamatsu is the northern gateway to Shikoku and also where you can catch the ferry to the island of modern art, Naoshima, or the olive-producing paradise of Shodoshima.

Small But Prehistorically Formed Sandwiched between the lively cosmopolitan centers of Nagasaki and Fukuoka, Saga’s attractions are refreshingly rural. Visitors are drawn to the picturesque natural landscape, plus the hot springs that come with it, safe in the knowledge that the prefecture won’t be overrun with other tourists.

Still Saga’s influence spreads far and wide in the form of its world-renowned pottery which you can experience in the towns of Arita, Imari and Karatsu.

Japan history-buffs could get emotional over the acclaimed preservations at Yoshinogari Park, an archeological site from the prehistoric Yayoi period, while the rice terraced fields of Hamanoura are movingly beautiful.

Oita Highway To Hell For a serious onsen (hot spring bath) experience there’s no place like Oita, made up of town after town of steaming pools giving the impression that much of the prefecture is constantly on fire.

Despite its hellish properties, Oita’s volcanic landscape is extremely beautiful to look at. It’s also fun to explore, offering great hiking, ancient monuments, shrines, temples and more for some rewarding entertainment in between baths.

Best Explored With A Car

Fusion and fire

Kumamoto’s diverse attractions are best explored with a car. You can start at Mount Aso for a hike around the active volcanic peaks before heading for a tour of the traditional baths at Kurokawa Onsen, or a cool down in Kikuchi valley which boasts some of the best waters in Japan for immune-boosting “forest bathing.” Just across the water from Nagasaki prefecture is the bustling prefectural capital of Kumamoto city. Keep traveling south to reach the Amakusa islands, where Christians went underground, and to spot wild dolphins in Shimabara Bay.

A flourishing port of international exchange in the 16th and 17th centuries, Nagasaki prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu was the only place in Japan to continue to welcome foreign trade during the country’s 200-year period of isolation.
