Offshore, you can encounter schools of minke whales and dolphins measuring up to 12 meters in length. Tours operate from the end of April to the end of October. The thrill of seeing the beautiful minke whale, often referred to as the \"lady of the sea,\" surface nearby becomes a lifelong memory. The boat departs from Irino Fishing Port within Kuroshio Town, with a ride time of about 4 hours. Reservations are required up to 3 days in advance. Pets are not allowed on board, but if you have a cage, they can be kept at the port's watching center.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":218716,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-289085","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":8}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/289085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/289085\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
