Taketomi Island: Enjoying Okinawa's Original Scenery

Visiting Taketomi Island, which is just a short boat ride from Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, I believe you can see the original scenery of Okinawa. Taking a buffalo cart tour around the island or renting a bicycle for sightseeing are especially recommended. You can also see shisa statues on the roofs and, depending on the season, beautiful flowers. Furthermore, the night sky is incredibly beautiful due to the low light pollution. Of course, there are also eateries where you can enjoy local food such as Yaeyama soba. I think it's a good idea to taste the local food. Please try to experience a slow and relaxing time on Taketomi Island that will make you forget your daily life! There are not many accommodations, but I recommend staying on Taketomi Island!
