The postcards were very beautiful, showing the ocean view and sea creatures.
:: Aharen Beach, Okinawa (阿波連ビーチ) ::
Stretching on 800 meters, Aharen Beach is a white curved beach with an impressive coral reef and a high degree of water transparency. It is known as the Mecca of snorkeling and diving among other marine sports.
:: Humpback Whale (ザトウクジラ / 座頭鯨) ::
The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. Found in oceans and seas around the world, they feed only in summer, in polar waters, and migrate to tropical or subtropical waters to breed and give birth in the winter. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1996 moratorium.
:: Kouri Island (古宇利島) ::
Beautiful nature and a crystal-clear ocean remain major features of the island. Kouri Island is small, and its approximately one kilometer in radius, taking only 10 minutes to drive around.
