Hoshino Resort Risonare Kohama Island is a remote island beach resort located in the southernmost Yaeyama Islands in Japan.
We will hold a program to study the theme of “coral” in the beautiful cobalt blue sea surrounded by coral reefs and summarize it as an independent study this year.
With snorkeling, you can feel the coral reef ecosystem up close in the sea.
Learn more about vibrant corals
On the beach next to the hotel, the hotel staff will give a lecture using colorful illustrations such as the mysterious ecology of coral and the bleaching phenomenon.
After that, beachcombing will be conducted to carefully observe the environment surrounding coral such as sea creatures, sand, and seaweed, and learn about the importance of coral in the life of the creatures.
The content was supervised by Noriko Ohori of “Waku Waku Coral Ishigaki Island” in Ishigaki Island.
“Coral learning promotion group Waku Waku Coral Ishigaki Island” Representative: Noriko Ohori
From 2012, she started activities centered on coral learning program development and lessons on Ishigaki Island.
Currently, she is cooperating with the children in Ishigaki Island to study at the elementary school while cooperating with the local people.
After learning deeply, go into the sea to meet the actual living coral
After observing the creatures, sand and seaweed that live through beachcombing and learning deeply about the importance of coral, we set out for snorkeling.
You can actually see and learn about the ecology of corals, which are indispensable for the survival of subtropical marine life.
Work on independent research with "Glitter Worksheet"
The “glitter worksheet” summarizes what you learned and noticed from your experience.
You can complete your independent study by filling out the sheet or pasting a photo taken with a coral in the ocean.
The worksheet is named “Glitter Worksheet” after the beautiful coral that colors the sea.
