About this site
Yonaguni is the westernmost inhabited island of Japan, part of Okinawa prefecture at the far southern end of the Ryukyu chain, closer to Taiwan than to the Japanese mainland. Diving around the island is best known for the submerged rock formations off its southern coast, popularly associated with the so-called Yonaguni Monument, and for seasonal encounters with hammerhead sharks in the surrounding waters. White World would be one of the named dive sites in this area, reached by boat from the island's small harbors.
