| Summary | The number of corona cases increased in Okinawa in second half of July,
after I came back from the Iheya Island.. Though it settled down somewhat in second half of August. I planed to visit the Kume Island, Okinawa for the first time in 18 years, which I thought about one of the destinations in July. |
||
| Itinerary | It is expensive to go to outlying islands by air, so I chose a ferry from
Naha to the Kume Island. I found a bargain, from Kobe to Naha on the way to Naha and from Naha to Itami on the way back with ANA. Soon I recieved a email that said the flight on the way back was canceled, and I was able to change the fligjt for free. Staying one night in Naha both to Kume Island and from the Kume Island. |
||
| Campaing | I arranged the tour by myself, because the package tours werw expensive
though they were able to apply "Go to " travel campain discount. I planed to apply just accommodations in Naha at first. Then I found the package tour including accommodation and diving without transfer to the Kume Island. This means the diving cost that is relatively expensive become subject of the discount. Since the price of the hotel was expensive, discounted price was rather cheaper than original. |
||
| Kume Island | I took a round trip ticket at the Tomarin: Ferry terminal. The ferry departed at 9, afer three and a half hours we arrived the Kume Island via the Tonaki Island. |
||
|
| Tour in "Hate-no-Hama" | I wanted to be in the "Hate-no-Hama": Sand Bank one of these
day during to stay in the Kume Island. I was not able to be there on the day of return, as there was just morning service. The weather forecasts is not very accurate, so I'm not sure which day I shoud go. When I arrived the island, the weather was not so bad. I made up my mind to be there on the afternoon. |
