Minamishimahara City

Despite the rain, we were fortunate to still see dolphins. Departing from Minamishimabara City, the captain searched for dolphins at sea, and when he spotted groups of dolphins leaping, he invited us to the deck to watch them. Although the rain was a bit uncomfortable and disheveled in our raincoats, seeing dolphins was a precious experience. It's worth mentioning that we only had seven people on our dolphin-watching trip today – our family of five and a Japanese couple – it was practically a private boat! We'd love to come back and search for dolphins again!

The ship was very comfortable, the scenery was beautiful, and the staff were friendly. It was my first time disembarking from a ship with my car, a very novel experience.
