　　　　　　　　　　　Traveling iron man Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

Winter in Port Vila, the capital city between Santo and Tanna, is the most comfortable season.

I forgot to go into the sea because of the coolness, and I didn't bring my favorite snorkel.

On the Island I visited, I was very impressed by the simple personality and smiling greetings of the unknown country.

We recommend that many Japanese visit Vanuatu in the South Pacific.

A Melanesian living in Vanuatu in the South Pacific.

From the custom of head hunting,
fellowship with Westerners, Espiritu Santo means "land of spirits".

As the world's colonies became independent one after another,
it became an independent country on "July 30, 1980".

It is also something that I was able to visit Vanuatu on
this Independence Day.

After the end of World War II, the "wreckage of machinery" of the US military seems to have been a treasure trove of bargains 50 years ago.

It's sad that the rusty iron debris is just a garbage dump.

There will be a direct flight between Australia and Santo on August 5th.

Quiet Islands will also be bustling with economic development.

Many blue holes are gifts from nature.

Unfortunately, the number is decreasing year by year.

The last visit, such as the "Mata Blue Hole," is not worth a visit.

The entrance fee of 1000vt per person is a rip-off price

Trees at the entrance are being cut down to attract tourists, damaging the environment.

Encounter with an unexpected earthquake.
Champagne beach like pure white powder.

The gentle waves hit the curved beaches, and the normally quiet beaches are crowded with cruising guests from Australia twice a month.

Kotetsu's one word

The Island tradition that has been passed down to this day in the 21st century, which surprised me when I saw old-fashioned life. I was very impressed by how Japanese people are engaged in livestock farming on the Islands of the South Pacific. It was a pity that there wasn’t another blue hole I was expecting too much
