Tainoura, Protected marine zone in Kamogawa, Japan
The marine area encompasses 200 hectares of coastal waters along Uchiura Bay, with depths ranging between 10 to 20 meters.
The site received Natural Monument status in 1922 and was elevated to Special Natural Monument designation in 1967 by Japanese authorities.
Local traditions prohibit fishing red seabream in this area, as the fish holds connections to Buddhist priest Nichiren from the Kamakura period.
Sightseeing boats depart regularly until 14:50, with 25-minute tours allowing visitors to observe the red seabream schools from close range.
The red seabream in this area exhibit exceptional behavior by staying in shallow waters and swimming in groups, contrary to their typical deep-water solitary patterns.
