\7 recommended remote islands in Japan/ ⁡ ① Miyakojima ② Kohamajima ③ Kumejima ④ Yonagunijima ⑤ Taketomijima ⑥ Iriomotejima ⑦ Yoronjima All of these are my favorite islands that I seriously recommend! 🤍 I love Miyakojima and I definitely want you to stay at the Allamanda hotel🥹 Kohamajima is also the best! It's not that there's anything special about it, but it's great to relax at the Haimurubushi hotel while enjoying the beautiful starry sky and rich nature🩵 Also, the people of Yoron are really kind! If you're drinking at an izakaya, the locals will talk to you and teach you how to drink alcohol unique to the island! I think Yoron is the warmest when it comes to people🥰 Please take a look at this list〜💖 ⁡ #FreeTabiWinter #0yenTrip

📍Iriomote Island Go to Iriomote Island by boat from Ishigaki Island It is the second largest island in Okinawa Prefecture, and 90% of it is covered by subtropical forest. You can actually go on a day trip to this island, as well as stay overnight. I enjoyed the nature on this day trip, so please use it as a reference🔖 [Urauchi River Jungle Cruise] ⚫︎Access From Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island by Anei Kanko boat arriving at Uehara, Iriomote Island From Uehara Port, take the free shuttle bus (about 15 minutes) operated by the shipping company (Anei Kanko) to the cruise ship dock ⚫︎Sightseeing Take a cruise ship to tour the mangroves. Not only is it fun to meet wild boars and birds, but the captain's commentary is also fun. The staff who are familiar with Iriomote Island will give you a commentary according to the situation on the spot. ⚫︎Mariyudu Falls A waterfall selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan *Because the untouched nature remains, the footing is unstable👟 Comfortable shoes and hiking style are essential! Sandals are dangerous, so shoes are best🙆 *There are few convenience stores and lunches, so it's best to buy them on Ishigaki Island before heading out🙆♀️ *The pick-up time for the cruise ship may not be fixed When you get off the cruise ship and go around the jungle, be sure to check! #Iriomote Island #Yaeyama Islands #Domestic Travel #Spring 0 yen trip

📍Taketomi Island Taketomi Island is an island that can be reached from Ishigaki Island on a day trip. Red brick houses, star sand, buffalo carts, and island scenery spread out before you. If it's your first time traveling to an island, Taketomi Island is compact enough to walk around and has many spots scattered around, so it's recommended. Please use this as a reference for your trip🔖 ⚫︎Red brick house (📸1) ⚫︎Shisa (📸2) ⚫︎Buffalo cart (📸3) ⚫︎Star sand beach (📸4-7) ⚫︎Islandscape (📸8) ※The weather forecast is not accurate on the island...it changes frequently and there are sudden thunderstorms.

📍Ishigaki Island Cafe Summary A cafe recommended by an Ishigaki Island lover who has been here for over 10 years I really love this cafe because of the menu that uses ingredients from the island and the atmosphere of the shop☕️ Please use it as a reference for your trip🔖 ⚫︎Waizu A coffee shop run by the owner alone If you are alone or want to spend some quiet time, please come here You can enjoy delicious coffee. ⚫︎Okashi no Ie Papil A popular sweets shop on Ishigaki Island that everyone knows. It often sells out, so if you want to eat there, make a reservation by phone. You can take out or eat in. ⚫︎Antuku A shop where you can have lunch and dinner. The chiffon cake in the photo has a fluffy texture and is exquisite. It is located near the Miyara River. Great for solo travelers or families. ⚫︎Shirokuma Cafe A cafe located in the middle of the city. Many people spend their time here quietly by themselves, so it's perfect for solo travelers or those who want to relax. They also have sweets made with ingredients from the island.
