Yoron Island is filled with beautiful blue water and a laid-back atmosphere 🏝️ It's a small island that you can go around in 40 minutes! The island and the people are warm and it's a place where time flows slowly! I like Udonosu Beach, which you can walk to from downtown Yoron! If you go further in, you'll find rocks and wonderful font spots ☺️ You can swim with sea turtles, and the rocks are like art, so it's fun to look for photo spots yourself 🌼The Sugar Road, summer cumulonimbus clouds, and sparkling sea are all amazing ✨#YoronIsland #YoronIslandTourism #YoronIslandTrip #Sea #0YenTrip

Until 3/31/2025, the Amami-Okinawa Exchange Discount will be applied when traveling to Yoron Island from Okinawa by ferry. Applicable fare: Regular adult fare Applicable section (1): Naha/Motobu ⇆ Yoron/Wadomari Discounted fare (1): 1,420 yen This time, I went to Yoron Island from Motobu Port in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture. It takes about two and a half hours from Motobu Port to Yoron Island. Two ferries, Marix Line and Maruei Ferry, operate alternately every day. Departing Motobu Port at 9:20 → Arriving Yoron Port at 11:50 I took the Maruei Ferry. You make a reservation in advance by phone, and have your boarding ticket issued at the counter on the day. I made a reservation for the cheapest second-class room with a dormitory seat. A very large Maruei Ferry. The ship was equipped with a restaurant, shower room, shop, and observation salon, making for a comfortable voyage. Also, since it was the off-season, the second-class bunk beds were empty, so I was able to sleep comfortably all the way to Yoron Port. Traveling by plane is nice, but traveling by ferry is also fun. You can also get to Yoron Island from Naha Port on the main island of Okinawa. If you have time, why not consider taking a ferry trip?

Yoron Castle ruins offers a panoramic view of Yoron Island. It is located on a small hill, and the view from there is breathtakingly beautiful. On the way to the Yoron Castle ruins, there is Kotohira Shrine and, further up, Jishu Shrine. The sight of the torii gates facing the sea was quite unusual. After praying, I got a goshuin at the shrine office. It is recommended to go during the day as the priest is sometimes absent. It was a wonderful shrine where you could feel its power. Then, I took my time to enjoy the view from Yoron Castle ruins. Even in the heat, a comfortable breeze blew through, making it a pleasant space. The sea of ​​Yoron is beautiful even when you are on the beach, but the view from above is also spectacular. Park your car at the Southern Cross Center and be sure to visit.

Yoron Island is located at the southernmost tip of Kagoshima Prefecture. It is a famous tourist destination with rich nature, including cobalt blue seas and beautiful coral reefs. During the season, Yoron Island is mainly for playing in the sea and marine sports, but this time we will introduce other recommended photo spots! ① Yoron Airport (1st and 2nd photos) It is a very small airport, but there is an arcade object with the word "YORON" standing there. It has a table and chair, so I sat down and took a photo. ② Yoron Station (3rd and 4th photos) Yoron Island does not have a railway, but there is a monument of a station called "Yoron Station". It is close to Yoron Airport, so it is recommended to visit both. ③ Chabana Beach (5th and 6th photos) This beach is near the island's most popular shopping district. The large pure white monument reminiscent of Greece is a popular photo spot. You can also see the sun setting over the sea, so it seems to be crowded with locals and tourists at sunset. Both spots are popular photo spots. However, please be careful as the light may be backlit depending on the time of day. If you go to Yoron Island, be sure to stop by and take some great photos to remember. #FreeHotelAccommodation #DomesticTravel #Kagoshima #YoronIsland #KagoshimaTrip #KagoshimaTourism #YoronIslandTourism #YoronIslandTrip #Yoron

#0 Yen Travel November A whole house with a spectacular view -- When you wake up in the morning and get up, you will see a refreshing blue view in front of you. Some people read books in their beds, some swim in the crystal clear sea next to it, and some take a walk feeling the pleasant sea breeze. A place where you can experience the extraordinary daily life of Yoron, different from a resort. Irreplaceable time to spend with your loved ones without worrying about others. (Yoron Island Tourist Guide) ---- It all started with the famous restaurant "Shima no Aji Hachiro", which serves local island cuisine. Hachiro was run by the owner and his family, who had decades of experience as fishermen on the island, and was loved for over 20 years as a symbol of the island. In 2016, Hachiro closed its doors, much to everyone's regret, and after finishing its role, it quietly stood in front of the sea, waiting for the day to come. At that time, two people I met through Yoron Island inspired me to revive this place. It was a truly miraculous encounter. Then, in March 2020, through a self-renovation project led by two young people, Shima no Aji Hachiro was reborn as "Shima Hotel" (from the official website).

This is a beach where you can do marine activities such as snorkeling and SUP. I tried SUP on this day! The color of the sea is milky blue and the waves are calm, so if you use a SUP or clear boat, it looks like you're floating. 🩵 You can actually walk across to Minada-ri at low tide. I've never used it, but apparently there are showers and toilets outside! It's also a recommended beach where sea turtles often appear. 🐢 📍Location: 783 Furusato, Yoron-cho, Oshima-gun, Kagoshima Prefecture #0 yen trip #Yoron Island

#FlightReport When I was touring the Kagoshima Islands in October, I also landed on Yoron Island. On that occasion, I used the Ryukyu Air Commuter flight from Yoron to Naha, Okinawa. Although it was a short flight, there was a drink service and the service was solid. The flight was full of divers and tour passengers.

A small island in Kagoshima Prefecture, located just north of the northernmost tip of Okinawa's main island. Access is by plane or ferry from Okinawa or Kagoshima. From Tokyo, we recommend flying with a transfer in Okinawa. It's a small island that you can circle in the blink of an eye, but it's surrounded by a beautiful ocean called Yoron Blue, and you can see colorful fish and sea turtles by snorkeling. At night, you can enjoy the Milky Way, a star-filled sky that looks like it might fall at any moment, with the naked eye. The warm and simple people on the island are also a big part of the island's charm. People tend to skip Yoron Island and head to Okinawa, but this is a wonderful island that is definitely worth visiting for those who want a different way of spending time than luxuriously constructed resorts. #YoronIsland
