Yuriko Nishiura, the manager of a local diving shop in Tokashiki Village, managed to snap a photograph of humpback whales breeding under the water. She saw the whale couple moving their tail fins. Nishiura said, “I managed to catch a rare moment of two whales intimately lining up and diving together.” She went to on to say, “I came across two whales in the offing of Hanari Island while guiding my customers. I was fortunate to get a photograph of the two whales.”
