Shikinejima Island

Last monday was Umi no Hi (Day of Ocean) in Japan - public holiday! We went to Shikinejima island situated 200km southwards of Tokyo. These are some of the pictures!

Early in the morning at 7:30 am, we headed to the island with this pink boat.

My hubby and I

Akane, Ji Kong, Take and Nao

This was our traditional Japanese dinner prepared by the house owner. Many varieties until I almost could not finish it.

After our dinner we went to natural Onsen (Hot spring) for relaxing. This is a tunnel connected to the Onsen in which we can feel the air temperature of the water vapor. It is hot like sauna.

Here is the natural public Onsen beside the ocean.

Hot spring water comes from iron sulfide rock. In this hot spring, the cold ocean water mixes with the 80 degrees spring water. The water temperature is okay for relaxing. Hot Hot Hot!!!l

The winner of fishing among 5 of us. I caught 2 fishes at one time with the same rod. Really amazing and it was my first time as well!!!!

Take caught the giant prawn after few hours. Congratulation Take!!!

After our fishing we heading to a beach for siput hunting. In Japan one of this siput kind costs about 500 yen in seafood restaurant. But we are so lucky that on that day everybody hunt siput as a souvenir.

Right after collecting siput from the sea, we grilled!

Still grilling and I can't wait to try it.

This siput looks like a fat worm. Geli nyah!!!! Actually I was reluctant to eat coz of disgusting look. I still prefer balitong.

Took photo together before departing to Tokyo. We really enjoyed this holiday. It was really a sweet memory for us.
