Miyako Island

29 April 2016

Of my Okinawa trip, the Miyako Islands were my favourite. Originally I planned to go to Ishigaki and Okinawa Main Island only. I'm glad I stayed a few days in this lesser known gem of Okinawa Prefecture. Miyako Island is also said to have the best beaches of Japan. I arrived in Miyako Island in the afternoon and did not have a rental car until the next day. To keep myself occupied, I rented a bike from my hotel and rode to Sunayama Beach.

I explored the eastern and southern coasts of Miyako Island. From a ferry port east of the German Village in the southern coast, I rode a boat with a glass bottom, where you can see the coral reef and marine wildlife without getting wet.

After a brief evening visit to Maehama Beach, which is said to be the best beach in the whole of Japan, I drove along the bridge to Kurima Island in the south-west. It is these quieter islands where more hermit crabs are found.
