Hyogo Prefecture

Clear blue lagoon beach, Chichijima, Ogasawara islands, Japan

Takeno Coast, Amore Beach, and Keino Matsubara Beach are some of the popular public beaches to go in Hyogo Prefecture. But aside from the numerous beaches that the prefecture has, one of the tourists’ favorite places to visit during summer is Awaji Island where you can see the breathtaking ‘sea fireflies’ at night. These ‘sea fireflies’ are actually bioluminescent shrimps that light up when they are ashore. The blue lights look so magical and will surely make your summer memorable.

Ogasawara Islands

In the southern part of Tokyo, you can find the Ogasawara Islands, an archipelago with over 30 tropical and subtropical islands. The water surrounding the archipelago is like a clear blue lagoon beach, you wouldn’t really think you’re still in Japan. Among the places in this list, this is the farthest to reach from Tokyo as it takes 24 hours by boat, which is the only transportation, to get to the island. These islands have been totally isolated from Japan since then, which led to the development of many sea creatures and endemic species, thus often dubbed as the “Galapagos of the Orient”. This group of islands is so special that it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Natural Heritage sites in 2011.
