Yoron Island
★★★★☆
(200)
Yoron Island is the westernmost point of the Amami archipelago and can be reached in about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Kagoshima and about 35 minutes from the Naha Airport. Because there are no rivers on the island, the clarity of the sea is very good at 25 to 30 meters.
You'll find a wide variety of macro species such as blue crabs, blue-and-white stonefish, blue-eyed gobies, yellowfin gobies, frogfish and scorpionfish, as well as big fish such as bluefin tuna, bluefin tuna, bluefin trevally, flathead trevally, yellowtail and bigeye trevally.
