1. The scenery of more than 100 outlying islands in Okinawa is amazing, such as Tokashiki, Kumejima, Miyakojima, Ishigaki Island, etc.? Outlying islands are relatively unfamiliar to Chinese guests and are considered niche. And stunning attractions.

The Pastoral Idyll of Yaeyama

The Yaeyama Islands, located at the southernmost tip of Okinawa, consist of a series of inhabited and uninhabited islands, including Hateruma Island, the southernmost island in Japan, and Yonaguni Island, the westernmost island of Japan.

It can be reached by a one-hour flight from Naha, so it also attracts many tourists who come here to enjoy the leisurely island scenery.

Ishigaki Island

Ishigaki Island is the gateway to the Yaeyama Islands. There are airports on the island leading to major cities in Japan. This island is the third largest island in the prefecture after Okinawa Main Island and Iriomote Island, with a total coastline of 140 kilometers.

Kawahira Bay, the most representative sea view of Ishigaki Island, has been included as a three-star attraction by Michelin and belongs to the "You will regret it if you don't come" series.

The "bottom beach" is one of the representative beaches of Ishigaki Island, with young sand and clear water; while the "star sand" is formed by the weathering of marine foraminifera shells on the beaches of the Yaeyama Islands. Not uncommon.

Standing at the Tamatorizaki Observation Deck, you can enjoy the landscape of the northern part of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding Coral Sea.

Taketomi Island

Starting from Ishigaki Island, you can reach Taketomi Island by boat in less than 10 minutes. This island has a circumference of only 10 kilometers and a population of less than 500 people. It seemed extremely quiet.

Walking in the villages of Taketomi Island, you can see very traditional local houses.

The top resort hotel "Hoshinoya Resort" is hidden in the center of the island.

As a resort hotel brand under the Hoshino Resorts Group, HOSHINOYA is world-famous for its unique location, personalized decoration, and the quality of its top-notch luxury service experience.

In order to protect the original vegetation environment, almost no asphalt roads have been built on the island. Like the local villagers, you can adopt a purely primitive way of travel - take a buffalo cart and reminisce about the old days while wandering. Time, enjoy slow life.

The Freehand Life of Miyako Island

The Miyako Islands are located between the main island of Okinawa and the Yaeyama Islands. They are very close to the Yaeyama Islands, but there is no direct transportation. Miyakojima is the main island of the Miyako Islands in the Okinawa Islands Group. It is 300 kilometers away from the main island of Okinawa. Many local Japanese travelers will choose to transfer directly to Miyakojima after setting foot on the main island of Okinawa.

Compared with the Yaeyama Islands, the Miyako Islands have more complete tourism development and more complete supporting facilities, making them the best choice for vacation.

Diving is a worthwhile trip to Miyakojima. There are many kinds of fish and rich coral resources in the sea near Miyako Island. Every year, many diving enthusiasts are welcomed to get in touch with the underwater world and feel the atmosphere of the ocean.

If you are a golf enthusiast, you must come to Miyako Island in Okinawa to experience the 18-hole golf course on the island. You can see the sea from every hole, and always feel the freehand brushwork of "the sky is high and the sea is broad" Life.

The charm of Kerama

If time is limited, the best choice for a 1-2 day trip to the outlying islands is the Kerama Islands. It is only a 40-minute boat ride from Naha Port, but it is also full of sea style.

Tokashiki Island is definitely the first choice for a one-day trip to the island. The sea here is very clear, with an average depth of 5 to 30 meters. It is a famous diving site. Many spectacular canyons and caves are waiting for diving enthusiasts to explore.

Since this area has a sloping terrain with many ups and downs, it is recommended to walk, rent a car or take public transportation. Daring friends can also try the unbridled and relaxing feeling of rushing straight from the top of the slope to the sea
