Tropical Fish Dance in the Seas of Ise-Shima. A New Tourist Spot Born from Climate Change. The Glass-Bottom Boat Experience at LUXUNA Ise-Shima.

**The glamping facility 'LUXUNA Ise-Shima' in Shima City, Mie Prefecture, will begin operating a 'glass-bottom boat' with a fully glass-paneled floor starting May 1, 2026. In recent years, due to the effects of rising sea temperatures from climate change, tropical fish never seen before have appeared in the seas of Ise-Shima. We propose this as a new, climate-adaptive tourist spot where you can observe this 'changing sea' up close without getting wet.**

Turning the Reality of Ise-Shima's 'Subtropicalization' into a Tourism Asset

In Ago Bay, a symbol of Ise-Shima, the ecosystem is dramatically changing due to recent rises in sea temperature, with colorful tropical fish, known as 'doomed-to-die migratory fish,' now being seen year-round.

We have decided not just to worry about this environmental change, but to reframe it as a 'living textbook' to understand the current state of our planet. LUXUNA Ise-Shima, which has provided a sense of unity with nature through kayaking and tent saunas, is now taking on the 'underwater' world.

This project began with the desire to 'convey the beauty of the Ise-Shima sea to more people, more closely.' We propose a new style of tourism where anyone can experience the highly transparent waters and pearl farming scenery, previously only visible through diving or snorkeling, 'without needing to change and completely hands-free.'
