So that you can choose Miyakojima as a travel destination that will be a memory of your lifetime, we will deliver the charm of Miyakojima through Cool Japan Video!
First of all, this is my first post, so I will introduce Miyako Island and popular tourist spots.
Miyakojima, located in Okinawa Prefecture, is one of the Miyako archipelago (Miyakojima, Ikemajima, Ōmijima, Irabu Island, Shimojijima, Kurimajima, Tarama Island, and Minna Island) of eight large and small islands located 300 kilometers southwest of the main island of Okinawa, and is a remote island with a population of about 55,000.
After all, the biggest attraction of Miyako Island is the beautiful sea.
The crystal clear emerald green waters are ideal for diving and snorkeling, and are visited by many people from all over the world.
Miyakojima has a hot and humid subtropical maritime climate, so the average temperature is around 15°C even in winter, which is warm throughout the year.
There are many popular tourist spots on Miyakojima, but the top ones in the ranking are Yonaha Maehama Beach, Painagama Beach, Sunayama Beach, Irabu Bridge, Ikema Bridge, Kurima Bridge, Snow Salt Museum, and Miyakojima Marine Park.
Yonaha Maehama Beach is said to be the most beautiful beach in the East with its highly transparent sea and 7 kilometers of pure white sandy beach.
There are many tours of marine sports and marine activities such as snorkeling and diving, and you can see tropical fish up close.
"Painagama Beach" is known as a hidden spot loved by locals, and it is the perfect place to spend a relaxing time.
In addition, "Sunayama Beach" allows you to enjoy the pure white sand dunes and the beautiful cobalt blue sea.
To enjoy the clear and beautiful sea, we recommend not only the beach, but also the drive of the bridge that connects Miyako Island to neighboring islands.
The Irabu Bridge is the best spot to enjoy driving on the 3,540-meter-long bridge that opened in 2015 connecting Miyakojima and Irabu Island.
It is the longest Japan bridge that can be crossed for free.
In addition, the "Ikema Bridge" connecting Miyakojima and Ikema Island, surrounded by the "Ikema Blue" sea characterized by a deep blue gradation, and the "Kurima Bridge" connecting Miyakojima and Kurima Island can enjoy different superb views, so we recommend renting a car and enjoying the magnificent scenery.
Miyakojima is also the birthplace of the fluffy powdered salt "snow salt", and at the popular tourist spot "Snow Salt Museum", you can learn about Miyakojima's traditional salt making techniques and have hands-on exhibits.
In addition, "Miyakojima Marine Park" is a facility with a 4-meter sea floor where you can observe various fish from the window.
While seeing fish and beautiful coral that can only be seen here, please experience the beauty of the sea of Miyako Island!
As a memory of your trip to Miyako Island, please enjoy the special products recommended as souvenirs.
The fruits of Miyakojima are especially popular, and the three "mangoes", "pineapples", and "passion fruits" are especially recommended.
These fruits are grown in the rich nature and blessed climate of Miyako Island, and their taste is exquisite.
In addition to the sightseeing spots and specialties introduced this time, Miyako Island is still full of charm.
We will continue to send out information about such attractive Miyako Island in the future, so thank you!
Please make special memories just for you here on Miyako Island.
