[Tokyo remote island] A mecca for dolphin swimming! The isolated island of Mikurajima in the middle of the ocean

Mikurajima, one of the Izu Seven Islands, is one of Tokyo's remote islands. Mikurajima is exposed to the strong Kuroshio Current of the Pacific Ocean and is an isolated island surrounded by cliffs with no beaches. It is also known as an island that is difficult to land on, with only 50% of boats in operation. Mikurajima is one of the best spots in Japan to see wild dolphins. You can swim with dolphins in Noto, Ishikawa, Wakayama, Ogasawara, and other places, but Mikurajima, where more than 100 dolphins live, has a much higher chance of swimming with a group. The dolphins that live in the waters around Mikurajima are the slightly small Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Each dolphin is given a name, and they have coexisted with the islanders for a long time. They are very gentle dolphins who love humans. Mikurajima is a very small island. It is a small island, so you cannot get to the island unless you have confirmed the company and accommodation to book your dolphin swim in advance. There are few accommodations and it is very crowded during the season, so if you do not book very early, you will not be able to get to the island. There is a lot of competition for the village-run campsites (with showers) because they are cheap. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets, so if you do not book meals at the accommodation, it is wise to get them on the Tokyo mainland. Dolphin swim dealers are often fishermen, so the number of reservations is limited. Dolphin swim on Mikurajima is one of the world's best spots to experience it, but you need to book as early as possible! Also, motion sickness medicine is a must. #tripdomestictravel #Tokyo #Tokyoislands #amazingview #dolphinswim
