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.
