Survivor Japan: Palau, was the first season of Survivor Japan and it aired from April 9, 2002 to June 18, 2002. This season was set in Ngemelis Islands of Palau. The original tribes for this season were named Bekeu (ベケウ, Bekeu) and Deleb (デレブ, Derebu), and the merge tribe was named Sage Sils (シルス賢者, Shirusu Kenja). Prior to the tribe merge, one player was sent to the ship from each tribe, and they discussed which camp to live in after the merge. At the final tribal council there seemed to be little doubt in the jury's mind on who deserved to be the Sole Survivor. Eventually, it was diving instructor Eri Minoshima who won the season and 10,000,000 Yen by a vote of 5-0 over priest Daisuke Yoshino. There were 6 members of jury, but Junko Matsuo refused to vote for either Daisuke or Eri because she did not believe that either castaway was worthy of being the Sole Survivor.
