"Himakajima" in Aichi Prefecture Aichi Prefecture is a remote island located in the south. This time, we visited Himakajima, which is famous for its octopus! We boarded the boat from Kawa Port and arrived in about 20 minutes⛴️ It was a comfortable boat trip with little rocking, and I was surprised at the efficiency and agileness of the boat staff. It was a scorching hot day with a maximum temperature of 38°. Even with a parasol, hat, and sunglasses, it was hot and exhausting💦 But thanks to the clear weather, the blue sky and blue sea were amazing. The island has a relaxed atmosphere. Next time, I'd like to stay at an inn and experience the sunset and night view🌅 It was a wonderful summer day on this island trip, where I felt happy from the octopus pots all over the island. #0yentrip #tripwithme #aichitrip #aichiprefecture #himakajima #islandtrip #remoteisland #boat #sea #octopus #japan #aichi
