[Taketomi Island] Recommended spots to spend a relaxing time on this remote island
#Travelwithme
📍Taketomi Island
Taketomi Island is a small island with a circumference of just 9.2km, but it has a lot to offer! It takes about 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port⛴️
We recommend renting a bicycle to get around the island
[Recommended spots]
◆Photo 2-3 Nishi Pier
This pier is a must-visit for tourists
Locals fish here and time flows peacefully
You can take completely different photos during the day and in the evening, but the last high-speed boat to Ishigaki Island is at 17:50, so only those who stay on Taketomi Island can take these photos💛
◆4-5 Walking around the town
There are three villages on the island (Nishi Village, Higashi Village, and Nakasuji Village).
It is an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and you can take a leisurely stroll through the houses surrounded by coral stone walls and traditional Okinawan townscapes.
You can also rent a bicycle or ride a water buffalo in the town
◆6-7 Kaiji Beach
A beach also known as "Star Sand Beach," where you can find small star-shaped grains! There are also hermit crabs everywhere, so it's fun to look for them.
◆8-9 Kondoi Beach
A shallow beach with crystal clear water and white sand.
The water is just below the knees, so you can walk in the sea even in your clothes.
As well as swimming, if you wear shoes that are easy to take off and clothes that reach your knees, you can enjoy the beach without having to change into a swimsuit!
