Tokashiki (とかしき)Island (September 2011)

Over Labor Day weekend, we planned a trip with a few of our friends (Jessie, Brian and Steve) to Tokashiki Island. This time, we made ferry reservations and decided to stay overnight!

One we arrived in Tokashiki, we were picked up by the 'hotel' shuttle. The hotel was a diving rental place with a kitchen and a dining room downstairs, and 4 tatami mat sleeping rooms, a bathroom and a sweet balcony upstairs.

Picnic tables on the balcony-great for our packed lunch!

Sleeping arrangements

The air conditioner ran on 100yen coins

The first day we went out on a boat and got our snorkel & dive on. Snorkel for me & Brian; dive for Chris, Jessie and Steve. 



Trumpet fish



I think fish are funny...
...make up your own caption :)

Can you find the giraffe fish?



After snorkeling/diving, we wandered around and took some pics. We also made a new friend, Jess, who was also staying at our hotel. We all hung out for the rest of the evening and utilized those great picnic tables for some drinks!




This is the island where we were snorkeling 
The East China Sea sure is beautiful! :)


Dinner was included with our stay... delish! Vegetable tempura, tuna, tofu and the sweet slimy seaweed stuff. 


The next day, we decided to rent scooters. Check out our hogs...we rode all over the island!

Look Dad, I'm wearing my helmet!!

Chris was very proud of our hogs... he thought they deserved a nice photo :)



We ended up at a really cool park with the best roller slide ever!!! 




My favorite view of the trip...from the roller slide!
