Sado Island is the second-largest island in terms of area after the main island of Okinawa, and can be reached by ferry from Niigata Port in about 2.5 hours or by jetfoil in about 1 hour. In the summer, the sea is very calm and clear, and the water temperature is warm, making it very popular with divers.
You will see many big lobsters, schools of horse mackerel, anemones, nudibranchs, and various anemones. Large ostriches also appear in winter to spawn.
