Before You Go

Things to know before making a reservation

The satisfaction level of a sea experience varies depending on the weather, equipment, and duration. We'll organize the information you need to check beforehand into a concise and easy-to-use page for travelers to make informed decisions.

Summer beach

The best time to visit varies by region.

Since the optimal time for fishing varies depending on the location (Okinawa, Izu, Setouchi, Hokkaido), we check both water temperature and sea conditions together.

Life jackets and beach gear

Please clarify whether participation without bringing anything is permitted.

Rentals, changing rooms, showers, towels, and payment methods all contribute to peace of mind before booking.

Travelers enjoying the ocean view

Separate the required time from the travel time.

We make it easier to plan your itinerary, including not only the experience time but also meeting time, changing clothes, explanations, and transportation.

A calm beach in the evening

Decisions made in case of bad weather should be made in advance.

Providing early information on cancellation conditions, alternative experiences, and cancellation policies can reduce anxiety.

Season Tips

How to enjoy the sea changes with the seasons

Marine sports are appealing not only in summer, but also in spring, autumn, and winter, depending on the region. Providing information on seasonal precautions can also lead to increased search traffic.

Spring:

This is the perfect season for beach walks and cruises before the crowds arrive. Checking your equipment is essential, especially in areas with colder water temperatures.

Summer:

This is the peak season for SUP, snorkeling, and swimming. Sun protection and early reservations are recommended.

Fall:

This is a time when the water is likely to be clearer and you can enjoy calm seas. However, it is necessary to check typhoon information in advance.

Winter:

There are unique local activities to enjoy, such as whale watching and combining them with a visit to a seaside hot spring.

For Partners

We'll showcase the appeal of our experiential facilities through our special feature page.

By showcasing photos, experience conditions, multilingual support, and directions to nearby accommodations all in one place, it helps organize the information that inbound tourists want to know before booking. For facilities, it can also be used as sales material to show "how it will look when listed on JEPS."

Use photos to intuitively convey the appeal of the experience.
The participation requirements and required time are clearly organized.
