【DETAILS】

Tanegashima is one of the southwestern islands of Japan, an island in the shape of peanuts located between Honshu, the main island, and Okinawa. The island is located on the border between the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, and you can move by car from the east (Pacific) to the west (East China Sea) in about 20 minutes. And from the north to the south in about 1 hour 20 minutes. Because there are many variations in the topography such as the beaches of the sea, jade gravel and coral reefs on the seabed, you can enjoy various waves regardless of using a shortboard or a longboard. Depending on the season, JPSA (JAPAN PRO SURFING ASSOCIATION) competitions may be held, and it is chosen as Japan's leading surf island. Also, many of the surf spots are not crowded with tourists and depending on the day you visit, you may be able to enjoy your own private ocean. 

This plan allows you to experience a half-day surfing school or a half-day surf guide by professional surfers. In the half-day surfing school, beginners can ride the waves, and there is also a memorial photo taken with the action camera GoPro. Want to try surfing on this occasion? We will introduce you to surf spots, the rules of surfing, riding practice, paddling, takeoffs, and landings. 

If you are an experienced surfer, you can enjoy a surf trip at the best locations on the island with the guidance of the professional surfer, Teruyuki Yamaguchi, a surf guide who knows Tanegashima thoroughly. In addition, if you are not satisfied in half a day, you can optionally change to a one-day surfing experience. Please see the following for details. You can rent a surfboard and a wet suit for free, so it's OK if you don't bring any gear! 

The accommodation, Zeus House, is at an excellent location, only 30 seconds from the sea, and you can spend quality time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. On sunny nights we offer free telescopes and cushions, so you can also spend a romantic time watching the stars in the sky, and enjoy a barbecue dinner (optional) on the roof terrace with a feeling of freedom. The rooms are decorated in white and have a calm interior. Also, we have high-quality "Simmons Beds" to help you sleep. There also are about three English-speaking staff available who will take you to caves that appear in low tides, walks through large arches formed by the trees in subtropical forests, and the rocket launch site that is said to be the most beautiful in the world. Please enjoy the extraordinary experience on the captivating Tanegashima Island.
