- Spot Introduction -
・Barasu Island, the "Miracle Island" Barasu Island is a small island formed by
a rise of white coral sand (barasu). The waters around Barasu Island are
called "Sekisei Lagoon" and are home to some of the largest and most beautiful
coral reefs in Japan, and are also designated as a national park. This
uninhabited island floats alone on the blue ocean, with only pure white sand
and emerald blue water. The water is highly transparent and the coral is
beautiful, making it perfect for snorkeling.
