About this place
A sightseeing boat landing in Ainan, the southernmost town in Ehime Prefecture, run by Saikai Kanko Sempaku. The boat that lets you see the seabed, departing from the Senohama waiting room, runs year-round with no reservation needed, and you may see tropical fish swarming around corals and large schools of fish. In summer you can cross to the uninhabited Kashima Island, where sea walker sessions, walking on the seabed with no license required, are held, and you can also obtain a diving license.
