Miyako-jima (�{��),Okinawa is a very flat island. Originally, people live by fishing bonitos (��).
If you walk around in the carnival of "the Miyako Carnival" on the Day of Sea, you will be surprised to see a cheerful flood of children, though you know that Japan is one of the leading country who is in trouble with aging society.
Fresh seafoods, good sea-weeds, tropical fruits, fields of sugar canes, mineral-rich salt, original woven cloths with hemp, Blue Seal Icecream bar, friendly middle-aged lady of souvenir shop who gave me many additional stuffs for free, delicious dish of bitter greens or bitter gourd, beutiful white sea shore without any crowdedness, --------(I'll add those what I loved, here, if I recalled more later on.)
Now, what I enjoyed under water was extremely great!
I've never seen such a plenty of living creatures, an endress series of arches and tunnels, a Grand Blue color of ocean, and so on.
It was too much experience to write down in words!
I can`t write anything before my memories are reduced compact enough.
Those who are able to read Japanese words and already enjoyed my last log about Ishigaki-jima, please excuse me for postponing to write my log reports this time.
These pictures are only 0.000000001% of what I saw!
Enjoy them, and let's go to Miyako-jima Island!
