[Okinawa] Star sand beach found on a remote island

This time, we will introduce "Star Sand Beach" on Taketomi Island, an isolated island in the Yaeyama Islands, Okinawa Prefecture. The official name of the beach is Kaiji Beach, but it is called Star Sand Beach because star-shaped "star sand" is harvested there. Can you see it on the hand in the photo? In addition to star sand, the beach also has other attractions such as swings and large trees that make use of nature. Taketomi Island, where Star Sand Beach is located, is about 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Island, so you can go there as a day trip from Ishigaki Island. You can travel around the island by ox cart or rent a bicycle, so be sure to take a tour of the island after visiting Star Sand Beach♪ Address: Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture 907-1541 (search for "Star Sand Beach") #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #TaketomiIsland #OkinawaRemoteIsland #StarSandBeach #StarSandBeach #KaijiBeach

Taketomi

📍Spot📍 Taketomi Island A small island about 10-15 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Island◡̈ Because it is a small island, you can enjoy it even on a day trip, and it is a remote island that you can easily go to🏖 ━―━―━[ Recommended ]━―━―━ ①When you think of Taketomi Island, you think of water buffalo! It may depend on how crowded it is, but we didn't make a reservation and just went on the day! We toured the town leisurely with the cute water buffalo at their pace◡̈The guide? But it was fun to hear all kinds of stories and sing! ②Quick sightseeing on a rental bicycle🚲 We also went on the day! Taketomi Island is hot even at the end of November! Sightseeing on a bicycle feels great◡̈.。 ③Kaiji Beach Kaiji Beach is famous for its star sand! Just looking at this white sandy beach makes me happy~ (swimming prohibited) There are swings and I take photos📸 ④ Kondoi Beach This is the beach◡̈.。 The water is crystal clear and really beautiful. It's also nice to just dip your feet in the water! ⑤ Chirorin Village (cafe) I stopped by this cafe because I was exhausted from the heat◡̈ It's a stylish cafe~I wonder if it's a cafe and bar? ◡̈The fruit smoothies are the best✩.˚ You can enjoy this much on Taketomi Island in about 4.5 hours◡̈* #TaketomiIsland #RemoteIslandTrip #WaterBuffalo #KaijiBeach #KondoiBeach #StarSand #ChirorinVillage #SupportTourism #SupportTourism
