TOTTORI – Transparent kayaks are exploding in popularity in Tottori Prefecture, with tourists describing the experience as akin “to flying in the sky.”
Visitors to Tottori, a coastal area along the Sea of Japan known for its jagged coastline and caves hollowed out by waves, can glimpse schools of Japanese horse mackerel, squid and sea anemones through their kayaks while paddling off Uradome Beach in the town of Iwami, where the water is as transparent as the famously clear seas off Okinawa.
