The mountainous island is one of the most rural areas of Japan and just happens to be an international trekker&#8217;s destination. A sequence of 88 temples circle the coast of the island. Walking this circuit is a famous pilgrimage and is unusual in that it&#8217;s a pilgrimage that doesn&#8217;t have a final goal. You walk a circle, beginning anywhere. <\/p>\n<p>Seems like the perfect mindset for an encounter with whales. Several well-organized whale watching trips head out from fishing villages, conducted by the same people who used to hunt whales. <\/p>\n<p>What you might see there: Bryde&#8217;s whales, sperm whales, minkes<br \/>\nWhen to go: All year<br \/>\nViewing options: boat, shoreline <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>sad man&#8230;. think&#8230; though we are going japan&#8230; it seems like i&#8217;m going there to breathe the air only lor&#8230;&#8230;.. so many place to see&#8230; to explore&#8230; lack of time!! :err1<\/p>\n<p>i hope that in future&#8230; we&#8217;ll like earn lots of money&#8230; then can travel every yr.. do something exciting&#8230; use up all money.. come back to s&#8217;pore.. work again&#8230; then travel&#8230; wowowow&#8230; isn&#8217;t it great?? no worries&#8230; yes&#8230; no kids too&#8230; haha<\/p>\n<p>what about next year&#8230;. we&#8217;ll go <b>New Zealand<\/b>??<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Kaikoura, New Zealand  <\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find Kaikoura on the South Island of New Zealand. The waters here are both deep and rich in nutrients, making it one of the few places in the world where you can see sperm whales close to shore. Sperm whales are the longest and deepest diving of any cetacean; for the most part they inhabit deep water. Sperms are the Moby Dick whale. They were hunted for the waxy substance in their head, which does resemble sperm, and their plentiful blubber. From the bluffs here you can see the outlines of the whales, along with their especially powerful 15-foot &#8220;blows.&#8221; (As in, &#8220;thar she blows!&#8221;) But only the most-seasick prone will not want to take one of the many excellent whale watching cruises available here.<\/p>\n<p>Just the Facts<br \/>\nWhat you might see there: Sperm whale, humpback, Hectors dolphin, Dusky dolphins, pilot whales, southern rights, minkes, seis and fins<br \/>\nWhen to go: All year<br \/>\nViewing options: Boat, shore  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n*Dreams* it&#8217;s like Dolphins can!!!!!
