Goto Islands

★★★★★ (27)

It takes about 90 minutes by boat from Nagasaki to the Goto Islands, which are made up of more than 140 islands of various sizes floating about 130 km west of Nagasaki. The coastline is intricate, so there are plenty of diving spots.

Due to the influence of the Tsushima Current, fish shadows are dense, and colorful corals and soft corals can be seen. You can also see large migratory fish such as yellowtail, yellowtail, and bluefin tuna, schools of colorful fish such as sea bass, big yellowtail, and aras.
