Fresh Shakotan Uni

Fresh sea urchin is one of Shakotan's most famous seasonal specialties, but availability is limited to the sea urchin season and cannot be guaranteed.

Because fresh uni is highly popular and depends on the day's catch and local supply, it may sell out before or during the tour. If uni is unavailable, we will be happy to recommend other excellent local seafood and dining options in Shakotan.

Choose Cruise or SUP

Guests may choose between the Shakotan Kamui Cruise and a SUP experience, subject to seasonal operation and availability.

Both marine activities depend on weather, wind, wave conditions, and safety requirements. If your selected activity cannot operate safely on the day of the tour, we will suggest the best available alternative.
