Oceanic drift diving, seasonal hammerheads and a puzzling submerged rock formation at Japan's western edge.
Überblick
Yonaguni is a remote Japanese island whose signature dives are guided boat drifts in exposed Kuroshio-influenced water, especially winter searches for hammerhead sharks at Irizaki and weather-permitting visits to the Yonaguni Monument. In calmer conditions, local guides also use arch, wall, sand and reef-fish sites. Most signature diving is for experienced, recently active divers, not independent shore divers. Okinawa tourism and Yonaguni Diving Service describe strong currents and operational limits.
Non-divers can take a weather-dependent semi-submersible tour, meet Yonaguni horses, visit island craft workshops and explore coastal viewpoints. Ferry and flight options are limited and storm-sensitive. The Monument is an unusual underwater rock formation; its human-built origin is not established. Local sightseeing operator; ferry operator.
