You can also take a ferry ⛴️ from port cities on Honshu Island, which takes about 8 hours to Naha Port, with 3 departures per week. ✅ Island transportation: You can choose to rent a car for self-driving, hire a car, or take a taxi 🚕. An international driver's license is required for car rentals.

Climb up to enjoy the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, the spectacular cliffs, clear waters, and scattered reefs. 🌟 Bridges ✅ Irabu Bridge: Connecting Miyakojima and Irabu Island, the bridge seems to float in the air against the backdrop of the azure ocean and blue sky. After crossing the bridge, you can visit the Makiyama Observatory to see the spectacular view of five connected islands. 🌟 History and Culture ✅ Miyako Shrine: With a long history and mysterious legends, the shrine is shaded by lush trees, offering a sense of tranquility and peace.
