Tourism in Hatoyama Island

With the regular ferry service between Ishigaki Island and April 26, the number of tourists coming to Hatoyama Island has also increased by leaps and bounds.

This island is the birthplace of the representative "Hattori Festival" in Yaeyama Mountain. From the folk songs, Nakamori in Hattori can see the majestic appearance of Xibiao Island. The festival between doves, a folk song in Bachongshan Mountain, tells the story of climbing into the middle forest, looking out at the ships carrying rice and millet coming and going, and celebrating the annual tax payment in the middle of the agricultural year.

Many people will visit the island during the three-day Harvest Festival held in June of the lunar calendar and the "Music Festival of Hatoyama Island" held on May 3rd every year.
