★★★★☆ (472)

Mazaki-jima, a small island in Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture, is just 10 minutes by boat from Kintetsu’s Kenshima Station. With calm, clear waters and a max depth of 10m, it’s ideal for snorkeling and beginner diving. Its gentle conditions suit families and entry-level divers year-round.

Masaki Island features colorful fish like Solas Pollack and butterfly fish. In summer–fall, red barracuda and blue-finned dace appear—great for beginner divers.
