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

[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.

#Japan Travel - Location: Kumejima Island, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Islands - How to get there: Take Ryukyu Air Commuter or Japan Transocean Airlines domestic flight from Naha Airport, 30 minutes - Address: 548-32 Janado, Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3107 Japan - Price range: Set meals around 2,000 yen - Nearby hotels: If Beach Hotel - Rating: 5.0/5.0 Kumejima Island, where you must stay to go to Hatenohama, is where many people stay at If Beach Hotel. 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

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

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'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. You can choose from mayonnaise, no mayonnaise, vinegared rice, or regular rice, which is a big plus✨ Kumejima, where the sea jumps into your body🌴 The most beautiful beach in the Orient #Hatenohama Japan's 100 best beaches #Eef Beach It looks plain from above, but the #tatami stones that connect all the way to the bottom of the sea are also natural monuments✨ Try some delicious soki soba to finish off your day on Kumejima😊 Parlor Kyumi Opening hours 8am-5pm #Parlor Kyumi#Kumi#Kumi #Kumejima Soba #Kumejima Airport #Kumejima #Kumejima Gourmet #0 Yen Trip

"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

Okinawa 🇯🇵 Kumejima ✨ The pool in front of the beach is the best 🌴 There are only a few hotels on Kumejima The best thing about them is that you can have a BBQ while watching the sunset (reservations recommended in advance) 🍖 There were almost no people in the pool, so I had it all to myself ✌︎ There was complimentary wine 🍷 in the room ✨ #Travelingwithme #Kumejima #Sea #Okinawa #Okinawatourism #Hotel Address: 803-1 Ohara, Kumejima-cho, Shimajiri-gun, Okinawa 901-3132 Cypress Resort Kumejima Cypress Resort Okinawa, Shimajiri District, Kumejima, Ohara, 803-1

Someday in Kumejima 𓂃 ✍︎______________________________________📍Cypress Resort Kumejima 30 minutes by small jet plane from Naha Airport Compared to Naha, this island has fewer people, so the appeal is that you can spend time away from the hustle and bustle and relax in nature! There is still a lot of nature left, and of course the sea is incredibly beautiful! I definitely want you to go on the [Hatenohama Tour]♡ The large infinity pool at this hotel is also available for private use🤍And you can see the best sunset on Kumejima🌅The sunset sinking into the horizon is red and dazzling, and it has the power to purify your heart🧡 The rooms are simple, but there is a private beach and a cute cafe nearby, there is an Okinawan izakaya, and there is a beautiful beach, so it is a recommended island💞 #Kumejima #Okinawa #KumejimaTrip #OkinawaTrip #ResortHotel #InfinityPool #OceanView #AccommodationReport #Sakura2024

#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.

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

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

#Japan Travel - Location: Kumejima Island, Okinawa Prefecture - Address: 566-2 Kitahara, 字 Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3133 - How to get there: Transfer to domestic flight from Naha Airport, Okinawa, 30 minutes - Features: Boarding on foot without a boarding bridge, a really small but fully equipped unique souvenir shop, a small shop in the waiting room This is the gateway to Kumejima, a small island in Okinawa that you can't help but love. This airport has 3 floors, but it's actually only 1 floor, and since only 50-seat airplanes fly, there's no separate boarding gate, so you have to walk to board. However, the airport building itself boasts a very unique exterior, and the souvenir shop inside has all of Kumejima's specialties, and in particular, the old-fashioned shop in the waiting room before boarding is full of various snacks, including coffee and Blue Seal ice cream. As the slogan “An island that can become zero” suggests, this is an island where you can experience healing from nothing. Highly recommended!!!! #FamilyTravel #OkinawaTravel #HotPlace

#JapanTravel - Location: If Beach, Kumejima Island, Okinawa Prefecture - Address: 160-39 Higa, Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3108 Japan - How to get there: 30 minutes by domestic flight from Naha Airport, 30 minutes by bus after arriving at Kumejima Airport - Price range: Lunch special set meal 750 yen, a la carte dishes 500 yen~2,000 yen - Rating: 5.0/5.0 - Nearby hotels: If Beach Hotel Kumejima is a small island, but it is convenient for sightseeing because the restaurants are all in one place. There are many places to eat around If Beach Hotel, but I recommend Kameyoshi for lunch. If you order the lunch special set meal, coffee is included, but I ordered Ankake Chahan (Chinese fried rice). The authentic fried rice is made with egg and is stir-fried until it is fluffy and full of flavor, and then topped with a sweet and sour sauce similar to a Chinese-style stew. The taste is truly superb. Highly recommended when traveling to Kumejima!!! #RestaurantExploration #OkinawaTravel #FamilyTravel

#JapanTravel - Location: 548-26 Janado, Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3107 Japan - How to get there: 30 minutes by bus from Kumejima Airport, get off at If Beach Hotel - Price range: 700-800 yen for a la carte dishes, 500 yen for draft beer - Features: Sells Okinawan specialty desserts such as Komadango and Jimamidofu, as well as unique menus such as ink pasta - Nearby hotels: If Beach Hotel - Rating: 5.0/5.0 Kumejima has many great restaurants centered around If Beach Hotel, but Nanbika is the best among them. The two somewhat taciturn male owners cook nonstop, and the interior is nice, and you can sit at the bar and enjoy your food even if you go alone. I highly recommend the squid ink pasta, Ikasumi Pasta. If you come to Kumejima, this is a must-visit restaurant for dinner!!! #Family travel #Restaurant exploration #Okinawa travel

#Japan Travel - Location: Okinawa Kume Island If Beach - Address: 548 Janado, Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3107 - How to get there: 30 minutes by domestic flight from Naha Airport, 30 minutes by bus from Kumejima Airport - Features: Excellent breakfast, ocean view sauna, 2 swimming pools, golf putting course - Price per night: 100,000 won including breakfast - Rating: 5.0/5.0 This is the best hotel in Kume Island, which is popular recently because it is close to the main island and has Hatenohama during a trip to Okinawa's remote islands. It is the best location for various activities and departure to Hatenohama, and it is a famous hotel where Hayao Miyazaki stayed twice. There is a hot spring sauna in a separate building from the hotel and an ocean view. The outside of the hotel is a little old, but the interior and rooms have been extensively remodeled and are full of a tropical atmosphere. It has a small gym, coin laundry, and a shop. The buses to and from Kumejima Airport are scheduled to match the flight times. Highly recommended!!!!! #FamilyTravel #HoKangs #OkinawaTravel
