About this list

When you look for snorkeling in Japan, the first problem is telling whether an operator actually runs it. This page lists only the 291 operators in Japan on Maptlantis whose structured activity data confirms a snorkeling program. Operators that turned up only because a word in their name or description happened to match are left out. They span 22 regions, including Aichi, Chiba, Fukui, Ishigaki & Yaeyama, Izu Islands and Izu & Shizuoka. 264 of the 291 operators (91%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, May–Oct, Apr and Mar–Nov (peak Jul–Sep) among them. There is no single season for Japan, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. 258 are listed as open to beginners and 38 as open to children. Operators with structured encounter data list manta ray, coral, sea turtle, hammerhead shark and dolphin as target species. Ways to meet them: snorkeling, scuba diving, boat-based watching and swimming. 197 operators are backed by an official source or a government registry. Each operator page shows the address, opening hours and source links, and how to contact the operator.
