2020.3 Enjoy the slow-life “island time.”

Okushiri Island is rich in nature, and about 80% of the island is

covered in greenery.

The clear sea referred to as Okushiri Blue is lined with oddly

shaped rocks created over a long period of time.

This is the natural habitat where sea urchins and abalone grow up.

Why not revel along in the natural blessings of Okushiri Island?
