I couldn't believe that there was such a big whale in the ocean just a short distance from Naha. Just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of the city, I felt as if I was in another world. The sound of the waves with the rocking of the boat and the quiet breath of the whales. It was a short time, but it was a very healing experience. It was a very short time, but it was very relaxing. The staff's unobtrusive guidance was also very helpful. The staff's unobtrusive guidance was also good without destroying the atmosphere. The staff's unobtrusive guidance did not ruin the atmosphere.
