Japan Diving Holidays
From striking temples and serene gardens to buzzing cities and bullet trains that whizz past in the blink of an eye, Japan has a lot to offer - including some fantastic diving opportunities. It's no secret that our Asia team over at Original Travel are Japan-obsessed (so obsessed, in fact, that two of them decided to live there), so the land-based portion of your Japan diving holiday is sure to be jam-packed.
When it comes to diving, Japan's Okinawa Prefecture is the place to go, offering mesmerising marine life, thrilling dive sites and crystal-clear water. Okinawa, the main island of the bunch, boasts beach-entry dives fantastic for beginners, but the three other island groups are home to spectacular sites and wonderful wildlife, including (but not limited to) the majestic humpback whale.
If you're travelling with non-divers, combine your trip to Okinawa with a week on Honshu, Japan's main island, for the perfect balance of coral and culture (and to make the most of our expertise in the Original Travel team). Head to Tokyo for its neon-lit streets and vibrant city life, stop in Kyoto for its awe-inspiring temples and serene ryokans or venture into the villages of the Alps for a taste of traditional Japan.
Whichever you choose, our experts can help you plan a trip that perfectly balances incredible diving with some time on land, ensuring everyone experiences the best of this captivating country.
