Many Japanese newlyweds stay at "Le Merdian"
(resident in Japan) in Oro Bay in the east.

Day tour after lunch. Enjoy snorkeling in Kanumera Bay.

The coordinator "Yurinko" or "Yuriko Kawamura" is
a resident at this hotel, which is encouraging.

When choosing a hotel, I put the advantage of the land first.
The only village on the Island, Bao Village, is a 10-minute taxi ride.

The guided room is Kazoo, a traditional house.

A mood-filled bungalow made up of eight pillars.

"It looks different from the room I had reserved."

A staff member came to tell me the mistake in the room when I started unpacking.

The hotel type, which was newly built in 2007, seems to be clean and comfortable with the scent of wood.

However, it's a big difference from the previous suite, and Kotetsu seems to be disappointed. …

The Island's specialty "oversized escargot".
"lobster" I want to eat a luxurious gem that can only be tasted on the Island.

Accommodation has the most beautiful beaches onthe Island.

"Hotel Kou bugny" located between Kuto Bay and Kanumera Bay
It was no mistake to choose from a number of hotels.

 

No matter where you go to the tourist attractions, there is a Japanese display and you can feel a sense of familiarity.

However, prices are surprisingly high and hotel meals are more than in Tokyo.

The trip depends on the weather. 　
If the sun doesn't show up, you won't see the brilliance of the Kirameku Sea.
The pleasant sea breeze blows through the beachside restaurant.

I thought my first impression of the French was an inflexible race.

The same baggage as when I went to another Island is
"NO" in the boarding procedure for Ile de Pan
"Why" It doesn't make sense.

Such a stubborn place protects the environment of
the Island and is so thorough that even one
of the empty cans has not fallen.

Ubi Bay, Kuto Bay, Kanumera Bay, Oro Bay, St. Maurice Bay,
Wameo Bay Every cove has its own beauty and is a waste
on a day trip.

Morning and evening, wind and light, sun and stars.
It's full of activities so much that I miss the time to sleep.

Children on the road exchange greetings with a smile.
"Bonju" "Bonju" and a pleasant sound.

The beauty is complemented by the contrast between "cedar", the sea shining in grand blue and the white sand beach.

Shimachu is like a postcard as it is.

Day trip tourists from Noumea are gaining popularity.
There are countless Japanese stays on the Island.

My information is so attractive that even a week is not enough.

The history of Island exile has a turbulent past.

It is strange that even the traces of modernization
remain on the Islands of the South Pacific,
but history proves that remote Islands
around the world were exiles.

Sakhalin Island in Russia,Watagashima Island in Japan.

Isle of Pines, France. Weeds are overgrown now
and no one visits.

Known to the Japanese as an Island for honeymooners. Oceania Paradise.

Step into one of the most beautiful Islands in the world in just 25 minutes from Noumea.

In contrast to Ouvea's "Island closest to heaven," this Island is described as a "jewel of the sea."

The French used this beautiful Island as a place of exile.

There are also mini supermarkets, post offices, and churches.
Islanders in formal wear come to the church on Sundays.

Melanesians dressed in primary colors exchange morning greetings with a smile.　

Just being in that circle makes her feel strange as if she blends in with the Islanders.

Even if the culture and history of the Islands are different, the unique humanity of the Melanesians continues to shine and tender to the eyes of children even as they grow up.
