[Taketomi Island] A popular island in the Yaeyama Islands🏝️

Taketomi Island is a popular island that can be visited from Ishigaki Island for a day trip.
It takes about 15 minutes by ferry from Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal to Taketomi Island.
If you want to ride a buffalo cart, you can use the shuttle bus at the port.
It takes about 15 minutes on foot from the port.
The fare is 3,300 yen for adults.
📍441 Taketomi, Taketomi-cho
🕰️Business hours 9:00-16:30
The buffalo cart driver sings songs while playing the sanshin.
The buffalo sometimes take a break on hot days and move slowly, so it depends on the personality of the buffalo, which is also a fun point!
You can also rent bicycles, so you can go around the island.
We had lunch at a restaurant called Kanifu!
We recommend Yaeyama soba and soki soba 🌺

You can also find star sand at Hoshizuna Beach, which is within cycling distance ⭐️

This island is recommended for a wide range of travelers, from families to couples and solo travelers 🏝️
