Hateruma Island: Japan's southernmost inhabited island

Hateruma Island, the southernmost inhabited island in Japan It is an island that can be reached in about 60 to 100 minutes by ferry or large high-speed boat from Ishigaki Island. It is said that the island was named Hateruma because it means "Uruma at the end of the line." Uruma means coral. The coral reefs spread around Hateruma Island, and the contrast of the sea is very beautiful. Hateruma Island has Hateruma Port, and since there are no airplanes, Hateruma Port is the only gateway to the island. With the opening of "Paijima 2" in this photo, the Hateruma route, which used to have many cancellations in the winter, has become an easy place to visit with fewer cancellations. #Remote Island Trip #Remote Island #Okinawa #Okinawa Sea #Hateruma Island #Hateruma Port #Southernmost #Port #Remote Island Tour #Trip to Visit Remote Islands #Supporting Tourism #Breathtaking Views
