About Mikuni Takara Island West
Mikuni Takara Island West is a shallow boat dive in the Shakotan area of Hokkaido. Clear water, a sheltered bay, and a gently sloping seabed make it a good fit for training dives, relaxed macro hunting, and snorkel-friendly summer days. Local operators run seasonal boat trips from the port, and the site stays seasonal because Hokkaido wind, swell, and water temperature still shape the day.
