Cruisin' the 99

We took a boat tour of Kujukujima (99-Islands) aboard the Pearl Queen from the Kashimae Pier.

There are several areas that are tricky to navigate on a boat. If you take the tour, they'll tell you this in Japanese and English.

The water is very pretty, but not captured well with my little point and shoot.

Many of the islands are said to look like other things. So, what do you see in the photo above? That's the submarine island.

Oyster farming, big business in this area. The Oyster season begins next month (November).

The tour on the Pearl Queen costs 1200-yen for a 50 minute cruise.
