humpback whale lives in the Antarctic Sea in summer, but in winter he travels to the warm southern sea for childbirth and child care. The route is broadly divided into seven locations around the world, and Hawaii and Okinawa are most popular among them.

The encounter points are broadly divided into two areas: the Kerama Islands and the Ieshima area. Predict the appearance of whales from the information of captains and local fishermen who are familiar with the sea.
