Micaela ミカエラ | [30 Second Japan] Sunken Shipwreck off the coast of Ogasawara Islands! 父島の沈没した船を見に行った！ #boninislands @Ciaela | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Sakaiura Beach, on Chichijima (the main island) is a gorgeous stretch of shoreline with coral reefs, clear blue water, and a sunken shipwreck lying in clear view from the bay (!!)
The Hinkomaru was shot with a U.S. Navy torpedo during the Pacific War, and has laid sunken in this bay ever since. On fair weather days, visitors are encouraged to swim out and explore it! In the clear calm waters you can observe coral growing on the rusted ruins, and even encounter schools of tropical fish!
In the winters, the waters are a little more rough, so we explored by kayak, but it was still exciting to take a look under the water’s surface and see what lies beneath. (By the way, the water wasn’t even cold, even though mainland was about 0°c and snowing, the outside temperature here was 18°c, and the water was warm enough to swim in!)
