[Taketomi Island] 15 minutes from Ishigaki Island! A remote island that you can visit for a day trip🏝️

🏝15 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Island!

Taketomi Island, an island where you can enjoy "doing nothing"🌿

When I first visited, I just took a leisurely bike ride around the town,
went for a ride in a buffalo cart, and just sat around the village,
and I thought, "Is it okay to be this happy without doing anything...?"🥰

There's also a phantom island that appears when the tide goes out,
and a spectacular view that can only be reached by a sabani boat.
Taketomi Island is picturesque no matter where you look
The red-tiled village is relaxing,
and you can spend time in the crystal clear sea to cleanse your soul🏝️

The closest remote island to Ishigaki is a great way to detox your mind
A unique way to spend time on Ishigaki Island🌺

🚢Access: 15 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Port
🚲Transportation: Walking or renting a bicycle
🏖Recommendations↓↓
📍Kondoi Beach
A shallow white sand beach with crystal clear water.
At low tide (tide level below 100cm), a "phantom island" appears🌊
We recommend searching with a tide level app before going!

📍Nishi Pier
A pier where boats to Iriomote Island used to dock.
Now it's a great spot for scenic views and sunsets! It's a bit of a shame that you can't see it on a day trip...🌇

📍Sabani Tour
Ride the traditional boat "Sabani" that is only available on Taketomi Island,
to a spectacular spot that is only available that day🛶✨
(It's a different experience every time because it reads the wind and the tide!)
The only tour company that does Sabani is Shukaji☻

📍Red-tiled village
The townscape is picturesque no matter where you look.
There are plenty of stylish cafes and restaurants, so it's fun to walk around.

📍Water buffalo cart
A water buffalo cart that goes around the island at a slower speed than normal🐃
It's only 30 minutes, but it's a relaxing time that makes your heart feel lighter!

The entire island is also designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings,
and it's like a treasure chest where the good old Okinawan scenery remains intact.
Please give it a try 🏝️
