[A paradise just 15 minutes by boat, discover the "Island of Diving Women" on Sugashima Island and take a scenic hike]

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Sugashima, located in Toba City, Mie Prefecture, is a remote island just 15 minutes away by regular ferry from Toba Port. 🌴 On this island where active female divers live, you can enjoy crystal clear waters, a historic lighthouse, and a laid-back island lifestyle. ✨ The day I visited was sunny, and I was moved by the blueness of the sea from the moment I arrived at the port! The view from Shimakko Bridge, the clear waters of Okinoshima Beach, and the remains of the Shirongo Kaido railroad tracks are just picturesque no matter where you look. 📷 The hike to the lighthouse with a SHIMA dialect from the bento shop Okageya was also great. If you want to experience something out of the ordinary that you can go on a day trip to, Sugashima is definitely recommended! 🚃【Access】 ・Boat: About 15 minutes by municipal regular boat from Toba Marine Terminal or Nakanogo Port (510 yen one way) ・Car: Paid parking available around Toba Marine Terminal🅿️ ・Travel within the island: On foot only (approximately 13km around) *More than 8 flights per day.
