Tainoura Sightseeing Boat

Experience the fusion of natural splendor and ancient legend! Come witness the enigmatic 'Mysterious Sea Bream' against the backdrop of a breathtaking National Natural Park. Kominato, the revered birthplace of Nichiren Shonin, holds a profound secret: it is said that upon his birth, a spring of pure water miraculously burst forth in the garden, blue lotus flowers bloomed out of season, and—most mysteriously—a celebratory school of sea breams danced on the ocean surface. Dive into this history where nature and miracles collide.

This profound phenomenon of sea bream appearing freely on the ocean's surface has continued uninterrupted since the Kamakura period (1185–1333). Revered by locals since that time as the 'incarnation of Nichiren Shonin,' these sacred sea bream of Tai no Ura are actively protected. Their exceptional, centuries-long presence has earned them the prestigious designation of a Special National Natural Treasure, highlighting their immense academic and historical value.
