2025 Kumejima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

[Eef Beach] If you turn down the narrow road from the town, you will see a vivid gradation of the sea in front of you✨ As expected from "Japan's 100 Best Beaches". The fine white sand beach has a spectacular ocean view♪ In summer, sea turtles come to lay eggs. When I was standing on the shore, I saw sea turtles swimming in the distance❤️ There are no toilets or showers, but there is a small covered rest area where you can sit in a chair and enjoy the view. 📍Location: Higa, Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture #Kumejima #Japan's 100 Best Beaches #Eef Beach #Kumejima Trip #0 Yen Trip November

[Ojima] To the east of Kumejima, there is a small island with a circumference of about 2km, and a beautiful sea stretches out before you that looks like you could go to Ryugu-jo Castle. ✨ There is a bridge to Ojima, so you can walk across. The sparkling Ramune-colored sea can be seen from the bridge❤️ There are a few buses running🚌 A recommended sightseeing spot on the island is the Tatami Stones, a natural monument with a row of hexagons like a turtle shell✨ It is a natural art created during the process of magma rising⭐️ At the Sea Turtle Museum nearby, you can see large sea turtles up close♪ (Admission fee 500 yen) There is an island with the same name and pronunciation on the main island of Okinawa, but it is a different island famous for tempura😊 [Tatami Stones] 📍Location: 170 Oku, Kumejima-cho, Shimajiri-gun, Okinawa 💰Price per person: Free #Okujima #Kumejima #Kumejima Trip #Tatami Stones #0 Yen Trip November

#Okinawa Attractions Kume Island in Okinawa is known as the "Dream Island". It has clear blue sea and sky, sunny white sandy beaches, and stunning sunsets. This natural paradise makes every tourist who sets foot here feel relaxed and happy. There are beautiful sandy beaches everywhere on the island. Soft white sand covers the coastline, welcoming the blue sea. Walking on the beach, feeling the soft touch under your feet, it feels like you are in a subtle world. The blue sea and sky meet, making people feel the tranquility and vastness of nature. Take a stroll on the beach and enjoy the magnificent sunset along the way. The rays of setting sun shine on the blue sea and sky, reflecting an orange-red skyline. The sky and the sea complement each other, presenting a wonderful light and shadow effect. The scenery is like a dream and is extremely beautiful. At the end of the beach stands a small round arch, which is also a good place to enjoy the scenery. Standing inside the arch, you can better appreciate the beach and sea view that is like a paradise on earth. The perfect proportions of the sky and the horizon are dazzling. This place not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also has a simple island style. Walking on the island, you can watch the leisurely life of the locals and experience the quiet and comfortable slow life. This secluded island of Kumejima is undoubtedly one of the most worthwhile attractions in Okinawa.

I will introduce Namiji, which has become the most famous restaurant with the best variety of set meals and alcohol. Set meals are popular during the day, and in the evening, locals gather to have a drink. If you order the sashimi set, the sashimi is served on a wooden boat-shaped bowl, so you must order it. The harmony of rice, miso soup, and sashimi is amazing. A must for anyone visiting Kumejima!!!! #FamilyTravel #HotPlace #RestaurantExploration

\7 Recommended Spots on Kumejima/ 1. Gushikawa Castle Ruins 2. Youngwa 3. Tatami Stone 4. Bird's Beak 5. Mifuga 6. Ghost Hill 7. Eef Beach Youngwa's spicy miso bean sprout soba was incredibly delicious!!

If you want to go around various places, a car might be a good choice! I also highly recommend activities like diving, so give them a try◎ #diving #domestictrip

I found this place passing by and went in. No English menu available . Filled with Japanese inside the restaurant . But the food is one of the most authentic Okinawan food I had here . Taste so good just like how my grandma would cook for me ! I’ll definitely come back for more

[Resort Hotel Kume Island] The pool spreads out in the center, and the grounds are rich in tropical plants such as palm trees and bougainvillea✨ Floor rings are also available for rental♪ The large restaurant where you can eat Kumejima cuisine overlooks the pool⭐️ The hotel boasts the largest number of rooms on Kumejima, with large windows and a terrace. The prices are also relatively reasonable♪ The shop has a selection similar to a convenience store, and you can buy drinks, daily necessities, and marine goods👍 Opening hours are short, from 2pm to 8:30pm If you take the Kumejima Town Bus from the airport, it's easy to find as it's the last stop on the bus, and the bus stop is called "Kume Island Hotel" 🎵 They'll drop you off at the hotel entrance 🚌 It's not on the seafront, but it's just a short walk to the sea and restaurants 👍 💰Price per person: From around 7,000 yen 📍Location: 411 Magari, Kumejima-cho, Shimajiri-gun, Okinawa Prefecture #KumeIslandHotel #Kumejima #KumejimaTrip #0YenTripNovember

#Okinawa Attractions 🏝️ When I set foot on this beautiful island, it was blue water and white sand beach. The waves gently lapping against the shore made me feel incredibly relaxed. There are also many cute little cats playing on the beach, making the place more lively and lovely. 🐱 #Kumejima #BeachHoliday I especially like diving in Kumejima. 🌊 Under the guidance of my diving instructor, I explored the colorful coral reefs and various marine life. The feeling of being in touch with the sea in person was really great! I saw colorful little fish swimming around me, as if I had entered a dreamy underwater world. 🐠 #divingexperience #oceanadventure This trip to Kumejima not only allowed me to enjoy the sunshine and the beach, but also made me feel the beauty and mystery of nature. I hope to come back here in the future to relive this pure joy and tranquility! 🌞 #SpiritualJourney #KumejimaMemories

I went to Hatenohama Beach, which has been chosen as the most beautiful beach in the Orient and is located in Kumejima, Okinawa Prefecture. Hatenohama Beach is made up of three beaches: Maenohama Beach, Nakanohama Beach, and Hatenohama Beach. Most shops tend to go to Nakanohama Beach, so if you know where you want to go, it's best to check beforehand. I went to Hatenohama Beach, the farthest beach, to do some SUP and snorkeling! The sea was so beautiful and calm that it looked like it was floating😆💕 Clear blue sea and sky🌈💭An eternal white beach made of white sand and coral fragments♥️♥️ It's a view you can look at forever🥺 It's one of the best spots in Okinawa😌 #0 yen trip #Hidden gem recommended for travel lovers #Connect with recommendations #Breathtaking views of Japan #Favorite spots #Breathtaking views of Okinawa #Tropical trip #Okinawa remote island #Okinawa girls trip #Hatenohama

It was a great island with few people and beautiful sea!! There were few souvenir shops, so I recommend the airport.

Thick local tuna rare cutlet✨ Shiny luminous shellfish, green irabicha, and swordfish sashimi⭐️ We enjoyed an elegant dinner with the pool right in front of us😊 [Resort Hotel Kume Island] [Restaurant Akabana] with polite service You don't have to be a guest to use it.

It's just a small soba restaurant at the airport. Don't underestimate it🍜 Parlor Kyumi, casually located on the first floor of Kumejima Airport Soft soki is meat you can drink🍖 The eggs are also soaked in bonito soup, which feels great❤️ Pork and egg are full to the brim.

"Hate no Hama" is said to be the most beautiful beach in the Orient. 🏖 The emerald green sea and the pure white sand are truly beautiful 🏖🐠☀️ You can get to this beach by boat from Kumejima 🚢 It is recommended to reserve a boat in advance for a tour 🥰🎶 It is especially popular during the summer on-season ♥️ There are no large buildings or rest areas at Hate no Hama, which is just sand and sea 🙇♀️ You can also rent chairs and parasols, but they may be included in the tour price or there may be an additional fee, so it is a good idea to check that as well 🥺✨ The shallow waters and calm waves, the 360-degree view surrounded by the sea was very beautiful and made me want to look at it forever 🥹♥️ Everyone, please go to Hate no Hama 🌺 #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #RemoteIsland #Kumejima #KumejimaTrip #HatenoHama #RecommendedSpot #recommended beaches #domestic travel #domestic travel lover #me and travel

#okinawatrip The beautiful white sandy beach lasts for a long time. I stayed for about an hour. There were a lot of beautiful blue poisonous jellyfish. The guide taught me not to touch it. Swings and flags for photography are also installed. There is also a portable toilet. There is a lot of overseas garbage drifting, so I would like to bring a garbage bag next time.

A stylish izakaya in Kumejima! SHIMAMONKEY! The interior is new and stylish, and there is a wide variety of delicious food on the menu.

Takeout in Kumejima! Tapioca🧋 and acai balls(* 'ᵕ' )☆ There are various things like dragon fruit smoothies It was delicious and photogenic❣️

We were able to tour the sea grape farming for free and even sampled some! ️ We were able to visit the power spots and the sea was beautiful! We go there every year during the professional baseball training camp, and it's a great island where you can relax 👍

There are lots of cats on Okinawa Obu Island! happy

About 3 hours from Okinawa's main island (Tomarin). A beautiful remote island comes into view. Beautiful sandy beaches, clear waters, and a land rich in nature. Hatenohama is in a class of its own. You get to the beach by boat, and if you're lucky, you might even see some sea turtles! There aren't as many tourists as on the main island, and the warm local people are also charming. There are also a variety of restaurants, which is great! In particular, "Yanguwa", which was featured on TV, serves delicious Okinawa soba noodles. If you want to experience a different atmosphere from the main island, be sure to check it out! #OkinawaTrip
