12 December: Saikai National Park - Kujuku-shima islands 九十九岛

We took a 50-minute boat ride to tour around the islands, situated at the westernmost tip of mainland Japan. Though named 99 islands (literally translated), there are more than 200 islands of various sizes. Indeed, it all depends on how the 'islands' are defined... and of course, at different times of the day when at times, some islands were submerged under the way during high tide!

We could see fishermen breed different kinds of sea products - shellfish to oyster! It's also a place that produce black pearls (uniquely Japan)!

The boat passed by a number of islands... however, I think, none were as spectacular as the ones I saw at Tanesashi Coast and Kihamabanya Fishing Village (Tohoku)
