The most beautiful beach in the East under the huge sky without any obstructions. The nice view of the bridge connecting Kurima-jima Island is also attractive. As the sun shines strongly, the beautiful color of the water appears. But in the off-season, you can enjoy beach combing.

17END beach on Shimojishima in Miyakojima Islands. Famous as a beach that appears at low tide. It is a beautiful blue beach even at high tide, but it transforms into a phantom beach where the beach appears at low tide. It's right next to Shimojishima Airport, so if you're lucky, you may encounter touch-and-go. If you come to Miyakojima, this is one of the places you should visit.

Hatoma-jima Island is famous as a location of Japanese TV series 'Ruri-no Shima (Sapphire Island), and has beautiful sea around it. I was very moved with much more beautiful sea than that of other islands of Okinawa.◎Hatoma Island is small that you can walk around. There're no remarkable tourist spots, you can enjoy the slow island time leisurely.

Looking up at the cliff from below, it was very dynamic. It was so powerful that I thought if it collapsed. The promenade is well maintained and it is easy to go sightseeing. This is one of the spots you should definitely stop by when sightseeing in Miyakojima.

It is difficult to visit here without guide. Roots of Indian laurel dangle and sunbeams come through the leaves in the sanctuary cave. And you should worship before entering because it is a spiritual place and was also a air‐raid shelter.

Heart Rock located on Tine Beach is said to be a power spot for love. It was difficult to look for places that looked like hearts and take pictures as soon as there were no people around, but I was very satisfied with what I saw. I want to go a little more at high tide next time.
