Amami～Kakeromajima (3)

Hello my friends!!

Finally, I’m here with the last part of the English report for the

Amami～Kakeromajima journey.

Tamaki san gets on the boat to have a look around the island. His guide is Houshin san.

They find a white goat on a cliff of one of the tiny islands,

Tamaki san whistles with his fingers to get his attention XD

The goat notices them, looks at them and then runs away ^^

Seems like many of them can be found around here. living freely on the island

without the disturbance of the human beings.

They get closer to the island.

In front of them, there’s a very beautiful cave,

made by the power of the waves, creating a huge hole in the heart of the rocks on the island.

Houshin san says that there are Swallows living inside the cave.

And they will come out if you make some noise or call for them.

So Tamaki san starts clapping his hands to make some noise…

then uses his fingers again and whistles loudly!

The tiny birds get out of the cave to see where the noise is coming from.

“It is said that it will rain when the swallows come out…”

Tamaki san says,

“But I didn’t know that they could actually live this close to the water in a cave!”

he adds.

Then they leave the birds and move to another island.

Houshin san points toward the island with his finger and says:

“Tamaki san! Look over there… look carefully!”

And he does as his guide says…

suddenly an amazingly beautiful flow of water jumps out of the rocks!!!

As it’s jumping out from the back of a wale.

Tamaki san is amazed, he holds his camera in his hands and waits for the next one…

“Come out!!” he says with a naughty smile on his face XD

And YES! He captures the moment…

then looks back to see the faces of his team members as well XD

He is really excited ♥(o´艸`)

It’s not a very complicated thing…

there’s a hole in the heart of the stones and when the waves get a little bit strong,

they water enters the hole and the air inisde the whole makes the water come out with pressure like that.
This is all made by the hands of the nature… this is what makes it exciting!

And that’s not the only spot! There are more of them all around the island…

As they move with the boat, another huge splash right in front of them!!

“Woah!!” Tamaki san says!!

Bigger and bigger!!! Much higher than the height of the boat!!

Tamaki san is completely enjoying this…

It is not visible in the image, but one huge splash comes too close

and makes Tamak san turn his body over to protect his camera from getting wet XD

He is super excited…

Then he looks at the camera man and says:
“He is making such a calm face now but the water came all the way here…”

while pointing with his hand XD

Everyone laugh and it’s obvious they are having a good time XD

After that… it’s time to actually take the challenge and ride on a kayak!! O__O

It’s his first time doing something like this and he is very excited…

Well he is already very good at it (^_^;) as expected!

The staff follow him on another boat and as soon as they come close to him,

he looks at them and says: “This is amazing!! Really extravagant!”

riding on the huge waves, moving up and down,

getting all soaked up XD

enjoying it to the fullest!! As expected from him XD

This is one of those moments when words are not enough…
No matter how much I try to explain it, this is one moment you should watch by yourself!

I was shouting with him in front of the TV the first time I watched this XD

Calming down a little bit… they all enter the beautiful cave,

 To make a visit to the Ao no doukutsu (Blue Grotto) inside.

Getting inside the cave, Tamaki san says that it’s a whole different world and also mentions

that it’s much warmer than outside the cave.

To see the Blue Grotto, you should go deeper inside the cave,

but since the waves are too strong today,

Houshin san says that they cannot go any further… >__<

That’s a shame but on a normal day, this is how the water inside the cave looks like.

Beautiful…

I can image Tamaki san floating freely on the water…
Just use your imagination and he is there XD

After coming out of the cave again,

Tamaki san says that it’s OK even if they couldn’t go deeper…

“I’m overwhelmed by the power of the nature…

After all… when people experience thrill right by their side,

their tension rises up and they become excited!

And I think being able to see an amazing scenery in a situation like that, 

will make you feel even happier compared to a normal situation. 

I’m glad I was able to see many different faces of kakeromajima.

I think that might be the appeal of this island,

and the reason why it can attract so many people to come and visit the place.”

Tamaki san, can really enjoy every little thing to its fullest!

As the narrator of the show says:

Being able to enjoy the destination of your trip or not,

it all depends on the abilities of the traveler himself!

^^

Another journey comes to an end…

And Tamaki san’s best shot in Kakeromajima ↓

 

★★★

Next…

Tamaki san goes to setonaikai islands in Kagawa prefecture…

Encounters…

New things to discover…

And enjoying the beautiful sceneries…

So please stay tuned!!

Will be back soon… ( ´・ω・｀)ﾉ~ﾊﾞｲﾊﾞｲ
