Nichinan, Miyazaki / マリンビューワーにちなん

Marine Viewer Nichinan (Underwater Sightseeing Boat)

An underwater sightseeing boat from Tonoura Port. The cruise passes scenery of rocky shores and islets such as Ude-jima, Kuroshima and the Misagobae reef; off Eimatsu the engine stops and you go down to the viewing room in the hull, where red coral and colourful fish such as pennant coralfish and blue damselfish can be seen through the glass. Kites swooping down for food are another highlight, and on the 2nd floor is "Gyokyo Shokudo Tonoura", run directly by the Tonoura fishing co-op.
