【ゆっくり旅猫VLOG】🐬三宅島でイルカと泳ぐ🐬【東京都】dolphin
[Music] Hello, this is Traveling Cat VLOG. It’s Thursday night, and I’m heading to Takeshima Terminal after work. Reimu is always heading home after work. I travel on Friday, come back on Saturday, and then relax at home on Sunday to recover. I feel a bit empty. So, where am I going this time? Since I’m going to Takeshima Terminal, that means Hatsushima, right? Yes, this time I’m heading to Miyakejima. To be precise, I signed up for a dolphin swimming tour around Mikurajima, where you can swim with wild dolphins. [Music] So why not just go to Mikurajima? Apparently, Mikurajima is quite a popular spot, and it’s quite a rewarding experience. It’s a bit difficult, but it’s worth it. The safest option is a leisure trip departing from Miyakejima. Our departure time is 10:30 PM, but let’s arrive a little early and get things done. I bought a round-trip ticket online, which gave me a small discount, so it came to 19,500 yen . The fare varies depending on whether you’re taking the lowest-ranked second-class ticket, which costs about 20,000 yen round trip, so I’ll check the official website. Since I have plenty of time, I’ll take a quick stroll around the area. This ferry is that eye-catching yellow ship. [Music] It’s the large-scale battleship Tachibana Maru. It mainly departs from Tokyo, Sannomiya-Mitsubishi, Mikurajima, and Hachijoji. [Music] For details, please refer to the Tokai Battle website or a YouTuber, so I’ll just leave it here. Reimu, you’re giving up on explaining. The Tokai Battle website even has a 3D map of Sendai, so you can pretty much check it online. You’re rambling on. But being able to check it in 3D online is a great time. [Music] It’s 10:10 PM , time for the upper battle. Let’s get on board. The upper battle starts 20 minutes before departure. Since this is a long boat ride, I’m taking motion sickness medicine. It’s best to take it if you’re feeling even slightly anxious. This is my first time on a large-scale ship, so I have no idea how rocky it will be. It’ll be depressing if I get groggy and can’t enjoy everything, so advance preparation is important. Let’s board the ship. The staff are here to greet us. They’ll tell us where the room listed on our ticket is. I’m in the women’s-only second-class room, which seems to be at the back of this floor. [Music] Um, D116 is here. It seems to be near the entrance. There seem to be four people in the corner of this room this time. I’m the first one on board, so there’s no one else there. It seems the only outlets are by the window. I figured something like this might happen. I have a portable battery, so it’s not a problem. They often bring power strips and share them, but I feel a bit hesitant to use someone else’s power strip. I understand. I don’t know if they’re planning on using a chair, or if they’re just using one with a lot of power and expecting others to use it, so I feel a little reluctant to ask. [Music] Anyway, I’ll leave my luggage in the locker above my bunk and head to the observation deck. [Music] The overhead lockers are returnable 100-yen lockers. They’re big enough to fit one person. [Music] The women’s -only section has a curtain at the entrance. It’s the perfect length to completely block out passersby’s gazes. I came across a vending machine corner along the way, so I decided to take a quick look at their lineup. They have frozen dessert machines, too. The vending machines seem to have a lot of alcohol. They sell blanket rental tickets here. [Music] I’ll borrow one later. They seem to be 100 yen each. Wow, what a beautiful night view. The night view of Tokyo Bay is beautiful. The temperature was surprisingly calm that day, and the cool breeze felt really nice. You can even see the Rainbow Bridge. [Music] I’ll go under the Rainbow Bridge when I leave, so I better check it out. [Music] Oh, the ramp’s out. It’s almost time. [Music] I’m leaving. 10:30 PM. Right on time. [Music] Before I knew it, people were gathering on the deck. Everyone was enjoying themselves with friends and family, enjoying the night view as a backdrop. Now, the ship was setting sail and sailing through the night skyline. [Music] The density of people on the deck was incredible. Oh, we’re already at the Rainbow Bridge. We passed by it so quickly after setting off. The hand of the person next to me kept cutting in, which made me laugh. [Music] Come to think of it, the Rainbow Bridge isn’t lit up in rainbow colors at all. [Music] Apparently they do have special lighting for anniversaries and other special occasions. [Music] Ah, it’s wonderful. No, I’m satisfied, satisfied. Now that I’ve crossed the bridge, I’m going to sleep. Wait, aren’t we going to explore the ship yet? We’ll arrive tomorrow morning at 5am. It’s almost 11pm. This ship is unfamiliar to me. My physical strength is limited with age. That’s what I mean. It was funny to see them trying to get their energy in top condition for the next day’s fun. It’s the same ship on the way back, after all. Maybe I’ll explore on the way back. Which is fine. Traveling Cat Vlog. There’s a lounge and restaurant on the same floor as the deck. A quick glance. The lounge seems to have good Wi-Fi connectivity. There’s a commemorative coin machine and the restaurant next door. I’ve already had dinner, so I’m thinking of stopping by the restaurant on my way back. [Music] There seem to be a bunch of food vending machines in front of the restaurant. They probably don’t plant anything outside of restaurant hours. They seem to have a pretty good selection. They’re a little pricey, but it’s a battlefield. What can I do? [Music] Okay, I rented one for 100 yen each, so I laid it on the floor, covered it with my jacket, and it was a quick sale. [Music] Traveling Cat Vlog. Good morning . The sunrise is amazing. Wow, what a beautiful gradient. Perfect colors. I heard there was a typhoon yesterday and today, but it looks like we’ll have nice weather today. The waves are calm and the horizon is beautiful. [Music] I can see Omitojima. We’re almost there. We arrived at 5:00 AM as scheduled. A shuttle from the inn was supposed to be waiting, but I wandered around the arrival area. It seemed like the only vehicles available near the port were for people with mobility issues , so I ended up seeing staff from various inns. There were no guides at the port, so I ended up wandering around. It would be helpful if there was a map with directions to where to pick up passengers. This time, I was staying at Arikei-sama’s inn. It’s a nice inn with a nice view, and it seems to be especially popular with anglers. [Music] The owner seems to be a professional angler and knows a lot of fishing spots. The owner who picked me up was also very kind and cheerful. By the way, I checked in early and included breakfast. Since I’m arriving early in the morning, many inns on Miyakejima offer this set. Of course, there’s a bed charge. Arikei-sama [Music] The restaurant is 2,000 yen and breakfast is 1,000 yen. This price varies slightly depending on the inn, so please check when booking. Here’s the room I’ll be staying at. [Music] Wow, it’s spacious enough for a solo stay. The bathroom and toilet are shared, and there’s a rain guard. The accommodation cost [Music] 11,000 yen. My total for this trip was 14,000 yen. Apparently you can go outside and have a barbecue. Nice hallway. [Music] There’s a sink, coin laundry, shared refrigerator, and vending machines at the back. The men’s bath is “Yuyuyu,” and the women’s bath is “Yudete . ” [Music] Open 24 hours . The restroom is just before the black area. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided. There’s a rain guard in the changing room, too. Now that I’ve introduced the accommodation, I’ll explain my schedule. [Music] I’ll have breakfast in the dining room at 7:00 AM, take a nap until I’m picked up at 8:30 AM by Dolphin Club Mikajima, where I booked this activity, and then change into my swimsuit before leaving. I looked up Dolphin Club and found that naps are quite recommended. Apparently, a nap is important before bed to prevent seasickness and fatigue from being rocked by the waves. Breakfast is also important. So, it’s breakfast time. It’s delicious. [Music] What a great breakfast. I finished it in no time. But, I haven’t taken any videos about the morning. Hey, [Music] Well, I’ll give you a quick rundown of what the morning was like. The activity I participated in this time was Dolphin Club Mikajima Same Official You can make a reservation online, and they’ll email you the day before to let you know the pick-up time. This time, they’ll pick you up around 8:30 AM. Before they arrive, change into your swimsuit. Leave your luggage at the inn and only bring drinks and other essentials. There are no lockers at the port, so you’ll have to leave your belongings inside the snorkel, so be careful. The morning practice is for beginners. Experienced swimmers usually join in the afternoon, with the actual practice in the afternoon. [Music] This time, I was taken all the way to Iyako for practice. There were other participants, so we all received a lesson together. [ Music] First, we had a lesson on equipment, and I rented a rental. They explained how to put on a wetsuit, how to attach a snorkel and fins, and other important things to watch out for, and then we practiced swimming in calm waters. They also taught me tips on diving to play with dolphins. During practice, we saw a variety of fish, turtles, and pufferfish, so it was fun. I really experienced the joy of swimming. After the morning practice, we returned the seed bag so we could use the same equipment in the afternoon, and were sent back to the inn wearing our wetsuits. Since the host inn was wet this time, we decided to relax and get wet until the afternoon pick-up. [Music] It was around 10:30 AM, and the afternoon pick-up was scheduled for 11:40 AM. Those who had morning practice brought their lunches with them on the way back to the inn. Let’s get wet and eat. Oh, the fried dumplings on top of the Miyakejima special rock seaweed bento look like they’re delicious. So delicious, so delicious. We devoured them, got wet, lay down, and relaxed. We were having a truly luxurious time. Traveling Cat Video. Well, it was the afternoon session, and it seemed like we were joined by a group from Indonesia, a couple, and a couple, all of whom seemed to be quite princess-like. As usual, Reimu was alone. [Music] We departed from a fishing boat, a different location from the practice area, and headed to Mikura Island, rocking along the fishing line for about 40 minutes. It was a beautiful sunny day. The breeze felt nice. However, there was a typhoon far away, so I’m a bit worried about the waves. [Music] The boat is a small fishing line, so it’s rocking. Seasickness medicine is a must. I’d heard that even being in the waves can cause seasickness, so I took some medicine at noon. Turns out, taking the medicine was the right decision. Well, I guess we’re almost to Mitake Island. Wild dolphins? We went squid fishing with a huge group in Kumamoto. I wonder if we’ll be able to swim with them. It’s like they’re giving birth to a baby squid. Also, depending on their mood, the dolphins either play with us or ignore us, which is kind of cute, like cats. Actually, they are cats. Yeah. No, they’re not. We’re almost near the spot. The process is that when we spot a pod of dolphins, we send the boat ahead in their direction and, at the staff’s signal of 5, we all jump into the sea at once. When the pod disappears, we return to the boat and repeat this 67 times. I’d heard it’s tough if you’re not in good physical condition, so it’s pretty hard work. Of course, since they’re wild dolphins, touching them is prohibited. Also, be careful of dolphins with their mouths open. Apparently, they’re in a bad mood and might attack. [Music] Honestly, it seems like they can’t keep up with the speed of the ocean. It ‘s a raft. It looks like we’ve found the first school. Well, we’ve caught our first dolphin. Meet, meet, meet. According to the staff, it looks like they’re near the island today, where the water is murky. If we were further out, the water would be clearer and we’d be able to play with the dolphins, but there’s nothing we can do about it. [Music] Now, where are the dolphins? Yeah. [Applause] It seems we missed the timing a bit, so we headed back to the boat. Actually, getting back to the boat is the hardest part. [Music] The gravity from the ocean is overwhelming, the suit is heavy with water, and we’re still wearing the diaper, so the rocks are hard to climb, so it takes the most stamina. The round trip back to the boat is the hardest. If it were easy, we could just keep jumping in. For now, let’s pull ourselves together and prepare for the next turn. Oh, I can see dolphins. They seem to be quite a group. The captain is also ahead of the dolphins in their new direction. It seems like it’s difficult because they make sudden turns. [Music] It must be hard because they’re so capricious. Can we go this time? Here we go. Let’s go. Uh, I swallowed some salty seawater. Where is the crab? Where is it? I can see a faint shadow. [Music] Oh, there are loads of them on the ocean floor. I’m a beginner and can’t dive deep, so I’m sorry it’s hard to see because the light from the surface is shining in. [Music] They’re swimming pretty close by. They’re wild, but they don’t seem wary. And of course, they couldn’t keep up with the dolphins’ swimming speed and left. So we found our target, the wild crab, right in our pocket. Yay! And now it’s time for the third round. I was so focused on swimming last time that I didn’t get to enjoy the dolphins’ gaze, so I’d like to observe them more closely. [Music] Oh, there they are. They’re coming up. Looking at it like this, the reflection in the light is beautiful. Also, I noticed when I made a video, they were crying quite a bit. It’s a dolphin. Yuga. I can see a shadow ahead. There are squids hanging out. [Music] Everyone’s standing up straight. Are they eating something on the surface? Wow. [Music] So close. I’m getting too close. I have to be careful not to bump into them. Wow, they’re really staring at me. So cute. [Music] They’re peering at me so closely, it made me laugh. It feels like they’re looking directly at my face rather than at the camera, and it really gets me excited. Ugh. [Music] And then the Indonesian group is playing around, wondering if they’ve dived really deep. I don’t know the details, but they seem to be a professional swimming group. It’s amazing how beautiful it is in person. Anyway, back on the boat . [Music] Round four. It’s getting really tough. The weather is nice, and it’s getting better. [Music] But Reimu, who’s always so stingy, feels like she’s missing out if she doesn’t get in the ocean. Going. Wow, I’m on the bottom again. I can’t swim that far. The others can easily get there. They can dive deep and hold their breath for a long time, which is really amazing. I wonder how they train their energy levels? I’m worried if my seed pods stay out all the time. [Music] Round 5. The waves are getting higher and higher. Even in the ocean, it’s a little scary when you feel the waves getting really high. It seems like my shape has started playing with surfing rather than with people, which has made it hard to predict what’s going to happen. I’ve been wandering around quite a bit. And even though I’ve taken motion sickness medicine, I still managed to get close to this wave. I thought this would be my last, but I’m pretty much out of my mind. My butter legs are starting to get worse, and I’m falling behind. [Music] Oh, it would be helpful if you could swim nearby. I had some crap after returning to the boat, so I took a break. [Music] If I hadn’t taken my medicine, I probably would have fallen asleep. It seemed like two or three other people had been hit, and I was on the verge of falling asleep. So when I was allowed to remove just the top half of my wetsuit, I felt incredibly liberated. They also handed out plastic bottles full of hot water. When I put it over my head, it felt so hot it made me laugh. I guess it was to protect my body from getting cold in the ocean . It was July, so the air temperature was high and the water temperature was quite warm, so I didn’t get cold, but… [Music] From here, we returned to the same fishing trip as where we started. We paid when we returned to the port. Cards are accepted. This time, we rented all the equipment, did a swim course with morning practice, and lunch, and the total cost was 26,000 yen. The breakdown is roughly 17,500 yen for the wetsuit itself, 4,500 yen for practice, and 4,000 yen for rental. I took off and returned my rented wooden suit on the way there, and was then taken back to the hotel in my swimsuit. [Music] The next day, I received a video taken by the staff. The footage was so beautiful, I was honestly jealous. Lol. [ Music] [Music] Wow, it was an incredibly good experience. A wild dolphin. So cute. When I got back to the inn, the first thing I did was take a bath to freshen up. But then I discovered a surprising fact. It seems I’m the only guest staying that night. I guess I’ll be alone here too. Well, to be precise, there’s one regular male guest, but he’s away for the night fishing. So I can rent out the dining room for dinner by myself. [Music] Wow, it looks luxurious and delicious. Perhaps this is the benefit of being alone. Based on my research online, the portions of each dish seemed quite generous. Honestly, I couldn’t finish it all. Reimu is unusual. I felt a bit disappointed. I was thinking of gazing at the stars at night, but the weather turned a bit shabby, so I’m heading to bed. I was hoping the starry sky would be beautiful on Miyatakujima, but I guess that can’t be helped. Well, I’m tired, after all. Good night. Traveling Cat V. Anyway, good morning. It’s Saturday, so it seems a few people are staying overnight. Finally, I heard voices around 5 AM, which gave me a bit of relief. I was feeling lonely, lol. And it seems like I’m the only one having breakfast. I wonder if the people who arrived at 1 AM didn’t order breakfast? Well, I prefer to eat slowly. [Music] I checked out at 10 AM without incident. The weather’s a bit cloudy, so it looks like it’s going to be bad. I hope it doesn’t rain. So, where am I going now? My return ferry leaves around 1:35 PM, so I plan to take a leisurely stroll until then. [Music] There are three departure points for my return port, and I need to check the website around 11 AM . It seems most of the departures are from Hamahikari, so I’m thinking about exploring the area. For now, let’s head to nearby Imazaki Beach. This is Imazaki Beach. The view is amazing . Wow, it’s a place that’s been used in some kind of suspense drama. Reimu, seeing the cliffs by the sea, feels like a suspense drama, doesn’t it? Hehe. But apparently the rocks are rugged. Doesn’t that seem right? I wonder if the dark rocks are lava? Apparently, Imazaki Beach was formed in 1643 during the Edo period, when a massive lava flow occurred during a volcanic eruption behind Imazaki Beach, resulting in the formation of a lava flow. It’s a lava flow with quite a long history. It might be mixed with ash, but I’m not sure. I headed straight north and arrived just past the elementary and junior high school. Apparently there’s a volcano experience trail. The trail has some fairly long walks, so you might want to bring a drink. This seems to be the aftermath of the Mikkajima volcanic eruption. Lava is everywhere. Ordinary homes and guesthouses are still buried beneath the lava. There were no casualties, but it’s still horrific. And this is an elementary and junior high school. At the time, the junior high school was on a holiday to make up for the previous day’s sports day, so no casualties. Good job, no one got caught in the sports day. What you can see now is the rooftop. This is a two-story building, but it’s buried up to that height. [Music] This is after the sports day. The frame is also collapsing. I mean, I’m getting a bit off topic. [Music] Yeah. What’s going on here? It’s so hot. Yeah, I’ve always thought it was hot, too. It’s just so incredibly hot. Isn’t this firing a sign of lust for the rock slab? I thought I was getting excited by the ruins, but it feels like the lava is actually trapping the heat. It’s summer, after all. Reimu’s sweat is so intense I’m practically drenched. Her clothes are discolored. There are no vending machines, of course, so I think they’d be better off bringing drinks. Anyway, back to the topic, the classroom we’re seeing now seems to have been a music room. [Music] Apparently the grand piano there was still in working condition, so they rescued it and put it back into use. Soul. It was as fun as they say, the volcano. The surrounding scenery was truly amazing. Let’s take a detour from here and head towards the port. [Music] Tabineko V log. There’s a shop on Miyakejima. I’ll dry up if I don’t buy a drink. I’ll dry up. This shop has a really local feel to it. According to reviews, their bento boxes are cheap. They’re apparently delicious and popular. And they seem to sell out quickly. [Music] Wow. Well, it’s still morning, so let’s see what else is left. It’s almost gone. Amazing. [Music] The bacon and egg don is good. I understand, but considering my plans later, I can’t buy a bento, so I just buy a drink. The rust is coming to Hahama. [Music] I thought I’d put my luggage in a coin locker and explore the area, but the Tokai match’s waiting room court said today’s departure and arrival times had changed. The rust is coming from Hamahikari. It’s pretty far away, isn’t it? Is the transportation method and time okay? I think I can get there by Sonei bus. I heard there’s a bus that leaves at 12:35 from the bus stop near the port, so I changed my plans until the bus time and picked out some places I want to visit. [Music] [Music] First, I’ll buy some milk at a souvenir shop nearby and then go to the cafe the staff at Dolphin’s recommended yesterday. [Music] I heard it’s the only stylish cafe on the island. It’s Cafe 6913. It’s a highly recommended cafe. They seem to sell merchandise, and the designs are cute. I wasn’t too sweaty, so I bought a T-shirt and changed into it. Tastack asked me if it was raining, which made me laugh. So I bought a 550 yen caramel latte and a 3000 yen T-shirt. There’s a bench outside, so I can relax. [Music] I’m almost done drinking. I’m thirsty. Anyway, I’m already thinking about lunch. It’s Taira no Shokudo, next to the cafe. [Music] It has the feel of an old-fashioned Chinese restaurant. It’s even more retro than I expected. It feels like a good Showa-era diner. And then there was this thing I was curious about: Iwanori ramen. [Music] Oh, it’s ramen made with Miyake’s specialty Iwanori seaweed. That’s good. It’s only 850 yen, which is pretty good considering the price of ramen, isn’t it? It arrived. Iwanori ramen. Ta-da! [Music] It’s got loads of Iwanori seaweed. It tastes like soy sauce ramen. It had a nostalgic ramen flavor and was gentle and delicious. [Music] Now that I’ve eaten this, I need to head to the bus stop. Since I’m now a Mike, the 12:36 bus will be a Mike route. It’s a route I don’t usually stop at. And it’s a Son’ei bus. It’s a much nicer bus than I expected. The bus fare is 380 yen. I think it’s cash only. You tell the driver your destination and then hand the money. The interior is solid and clean, which is nice. [Music] I arrived while watching Maro. Apparently the typhoon had affected the arrival that day, so the arrival was a little delayed, but I arrived in about 20 minutes. The waves were really high, so I was a little worried about whether the boat would arrive. To be honest, I was worried I’d get seasick. So that’s it. The battle began without incident. The person I showed my ticket to was the one who told me I’d changed to Mikeko. I’m glad to have met such a kind person again. It was a nice encounter. As for the room, it’s still women-only, as usual. This time, I was seated by the window, so I thought the outlets would be easy to use, but the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all. The seats near the entrance were working fine, though. Oh well, I guess I’ll just lie down and relax. [Music] It’s around 6 PM, and I’m hungry, so I’ll go to the restaurant. Now, what should I eat? The menu has quite a variety. [Music] I bought my ticket and handed it to the waiter. There’s no one in the restaurant yet. Well, this time I ordered Tomorrow’s Ba Curry for 1,250 yen and Oden for 600 yen. What a combination! I just chose it by instinct and ended up with this. The curry was spicier than I expected, and the oden had a mild broth, so both were delicious. Now all that’s left is to go back to Takeshi Box and go home. It was fun. [Music] It’s Takeshi. I’m really glad I had another valuable experience this time. I want to go again, so I need to save up for a trip. Oh, I’ll try my best to save money. [Music] Thank you for watching. [Music]
