Lower Mainland
Shimojishima here is an island where the tourism culture is not yet fully established, with an airport coming into being in 2019 and up-and-coming.
It is possible to access the island by car from other Okinawan islands, but it is interesting to note that access can now be achieved by plane.
There is still a lack of tourist information available, so you can have fun discovering the island for yourself, and there are many attractions that are unique to this island.
It is an island that stands on its own in a good way even within Okinawa Prefecture, which is known as a standard tourist spot, and should be visited with great attention.
This island has steadily gained popularity among some enthusiasts as one of the sanctuaries for diving. The crystal-clear waters are enjoyable to dive in, and you can see numerous views of the inside of the island.
In particular, the spot "Street Pond "is a large pond surrounded by cliff-like terrain, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Legend has it that there were mermaids, and there is also a cave that connects the hole to the sea.
The feeling is extremely adventurous, and you can fully enjoy the charm of diving as much as you like.
This area is recommended for those who want to dive and enjoy the Okinawan sea.

Name: Shimoji IslandIshigaki Island
Ishigaki Island has become one of the most popular and well-known islands in Okinawa Prefecture.
Many people describe Ishigaki Island as the most remote island in Okinawa Prefecture, and many people visit here.
Of course, it can be accessed directly from Honshu by air or other means, but it is also easy to visit after passing through Naha, making it a very nice remote island.
You can rent a car and sit back and enjoy sightseeing for a day or two.
This remote island is a place where you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Japan's highest peak.
In particular, Kabira Bay, the most famous sea of Ishigaki Island, has been established by the government as a scenic spot, creating a wonderful atmosphere in both name and reality.
The crystal clear waters are so transparent that you can see what's inside, and they are a perfect match with the clear sky. The stars in the night sky are also very much visible against the sky in a place that is completely free of any impurities.
Okinawa Prefecture also has its own unique food culture, which should not be forgotten.
When it comes to Ishigaki Island's unique specialties, fish cannot be forgotten.
Sashimi and boiled fish, for example, allow you to feel the freshness of fish that is alive and well in the beautiful sea on your tongue. Furthermore, the area is also home to brand-name Japanese black beef, so you can truly enjoy meals on land, sea, and air from every angle.
Please create wonderful memories of sightseeing that is unique to Okinawa Prefecture, a three-pronged all-around great place to visit.

Watarikashiki Island
This island belongs to a group called the Kerama Islands, which are located a short distance from the center of Okinawa Prefecture.
Of course, the island is also accessible as a day trip from the main island of Okinawa, making it a deeply popular destination.
The sea, known as Kerama blue, has a very strong blue tint and gives the impression of pure beauty, as if the paint has been turned upside down.
The ocean here is also suitable for beginners and children in that the waves are calm and safe for everyone to enjoy.
It gives the impression of peacefulness that is truly befitting its fresh blue color. The area is home to 60% of Japan's coral species and sea turtles, making it a safe and peaceful place for marine life.
Even in Okinawa Prefecture, where the ocean is the main attraction, it is a wonderful place to compete with the ocean alone. If you are interested in this place, please visit.

Name: Tokashiki Island
West Watch Island
Iriomote Island is not accessible by air, so I have the impression that tourists tend to talk about it less, but it is also a wonderful area with tremendous potential.
It is not a place that has been developed specifically for tourists like other places, but rather, it retains a good amount of nature as it is.
This atmosphere can be seen, for example, in the presence of the creature "Iriomote wildcat ", which is a natural treasure.
Iriomote Island here is an island where nearly 90 percent of the territory is allocated to tropical forests (so-called mangroves).
It is an area that can be explored rather than a simple tourist facility or spot, and can be enjoyed through hands-on activities.
The best way to fully enjoy the mangroves is to experience canoeing, where you can paddle your own small canoe and explore the virgin green forest that spreads out on both sides.
You can feel the scale and excitement of a certain amusement park attraction where you explore the jungle, and even more realistically feel it directly on your own skin.
If you are lucky, you may even be able to see some of the unique creatures of Okinawa, such as the habu and the Iriomote wildcat. Please be careful and have a good time.

First name: Iriomote Island
Kumejima
This island is in the top five largest after Miyako Island, Iriomote Island, and other islands that have become mainstream in Okinawa Prefecture.
Although a bit plain in naming, this is also a wonderful spot that is unforgettable and majestic.
This island is called "Hate-no-hama ", which is so beautiful that it is almost too picturesque to be appreciated.
Everywhere you turn on the island, it is full of fashion, glamour, and beauty and oozes a wonderful sparkle.
The pure white sandy beaches, light blue ocean, and laid-back atmosphere are extremely wonderful.
It is also an exquisitely sized island, neither too large nor too small, and allows visitors to enjoy connecting with others.
The locals are warm and welcoming, following the calm atmosphere, and it is possible to spend quality time at taverns that boast the security of a family home.
Create irreplaceable memories with a chic trip.

Kurushima
The last island I would like to introduce is Kuroshima, which is a remote island.
Of course, the beautiful ocean and blue skies that are typical of Okinawa Prefecture are also an attraction, but at the same time, the green meadows of pastureland are also a shining example of this remarkable area.
The island offers a dual enjoyment of the sea and land, allowing visitors to enjoy a sense of freedom and the grandeur of nature.
This island is called "Heartland "area because of the island's heart-shaped formations.
It is also known as a sacred place for romance due to its shape, and is often visited by many couples and married couples from all over Japan.
In such an island, as mentioned above, the sea as well as meadows are spreading more and more, attracting the eye of the viewer.
The island is a popular place for livestock farming, and cows are free to roam the island, which is also adorable. It is also a place where sea turtles visit the beach, making it a wonderful island in terms of its vibrant life.
Overall, the island has a very liberating and pleasant atmosphere. It is a recommended island for those who want to relax and forget about everyday life.
