Yabiji, Coral reef in Miyakojima, Japan
Yabiji encompasses over 30 individual reefs across 17 kilometers from north to south and 6.5 kilometers from east to west in clear waters.
In 1797, the British Navy ship Providence crashed on the northwestern edge of Yabiji, leading to its designation as Providence Reef on marine charts.
Local fishermen have utilized the abundant marine resources of Yabiji since 1350, developing specialized techniques for sustainable fishing practices.
Visitors can access Yabiji through snorkeling and diving tours departing from Hirara Port, requiring approximately one hour by boat to reach the location.
During spring tides, particularly around the third day of the third lunar month, portions of the reef surface emerge above water level.
