宮古島の中心から車で10分ほどでつきます。 東洋一綺麗と言われている与那覇前浜。 現地ではマイパマビーチとも呼ぶそうです。 昼に行くのももちろん良いですが、サンセットも綺麗に見れます。 人が多かったり最近はゴミも増えてたりもありますが それでも海の透明度や、約7kmにわたる砂浜の長さと綺麗さ、来間大橋、アクセスの良さ全てに置いて見応えがあります。 海の透明度もさすがの綺麗さです。 コロナ禍の時は、駐車場がなかったりで 人もまばらでしたが、コロナ明けは活気があり賑わってました。 トイレやシャワーもあり、施設もあるため 長くいても十分安心して遊べます。 駐車場は無料です 宮古島来たらおすすめのスポットです。 (Translated by Google) It takes about 10 minutes by car from the center of Miyakojima. Yonaha Maehama is said to be the most beautiful beach in the East. It is also called My Pama Beach locally. Of course it's good to go during the day, but you can also see a beautiful sunset. There are a lot of people, and recently there has been an increase in trash. However, the clarity of the sea, the length and beauty of the 7km sandy beach, Kurima Ohashi Bridge, and easy access all make it worth seeing. The transparency of the sea is truly beautiful. During the coronavirus pandemic, there was no parking lot. There were few people, but after the coronavirus, it was lively and crowded. There are toilets, showers, and other facilities. You can play with peace of mind even if you stay for a long time. Parking is free This is a recommended spot when you come to Miyakojima.

Beautiful white sand beach, with a lot of space and turquoise sea water. Definitely a good spot pour the sunset. Probably the best beach in Miyakojima if your goal is to lay down and get your skin tanned a little.

Awesome spot for families. Lots of people around, shallow water and super blue water. The day I went there were several people wind surfing and paraboarding.

人気なビーチなので混みます。 意外と空港から道が複雑。 カーナビがあれば問題ないけど。 駐車場は狭め。 砂浜がサラサラなので帰りの車の中に注意。 天気が良ければ最高ですね。 （写真は梅雨の時期の5月） (Translated by Google) It's a popular beach so it can get crowded. The road from the airport is unexpectedly complicated. No problem if you have a car navigation system. The parking lot is narrow. Be careful in the car on the way home because the sandy beach is smooth. It would be great if the weather is fine. (The photo was taken in May during the rainy season)

東洋一と言われるだけあってほんとに綺麗。 さらっさらの砂浜に青い青い海。本当に癒されます。 夜は星が綺麗で、8月に、蛍がいました！ (Translated by Google) It is said to be the best in the East and is truly beautiful. A smooth sandy beach and a blue sea. It's really soothing. The stars were beautiful at night, and there were fireflies in August!

It is really a beautiful beach. Very long. It was not crowded at all (mid May 2023). Very quiet and relaxing Of course the restaurant close to the parking is totally so very commonplace. No interest, but I was hungry :)

This beach is the perfect relaxation beach. Most of the vendors are awesome but don't rent from TRIP unless you like screaming J pop infringing on your beach time. It's a shame too because they hold the best part of the beach.

12:30頃到着。 駐車場は満車でしたが奇跡的に1台出たので止められました。 白いサラサラの砂、透明度抜群の海、ずっと眺めていられました。 暑かったのでビーチパラソルとチェアをレンタル。 マリンアクティビティもありました。 シャワー室もあり助かります。 宮古島に来たらぜひ行くべきビーチです♪ (Translated by Google) Arrived around 12:30. The parking lot was full, but miraculously one car came out and was stopped. I could stare at the white smooth sand and the crystal clear sea for a long time. It was hot, so we rented beach umbrellas and chairs. There were also marine activities. There is also a shower room which is helpful. This beach is a must-visit when you come to Miyakojima♪

とても静かでキレイな砂浜です。キレイな珊瑚や貝殻も打ち上げられており南国感すごくいいです。 宮古島のいろいろな砂浜にはあまり行けていないので比較はできませんが。。 シーズンも終わり？なのか　海水浴している人はいませんでした。 まったりするなら　最高だと思います。 (Translated by Google) It is a very quiet and beautiful sandy beach. Beautiful coral and seashells are also washed ashore, giving it a very nice tropical feel. I haven't been to many of the different beaches on Miyakojima, so I can't compare them. . Is the season over? There was no one swimming in the sea. I think it's the best if you want to relax.

Truly spectacular place! It is selected as the best beach in Japan by so many guidebooks and rankings because of its clear, blue water and fine sandy beach. The crystal-clear emerald green sea gradually becomes darker towards Kurima Island ahead. You will be impressed by the sight you have only seen in postcards. On your left, you can see the beautiful Kurimajima Bridge across the sea. Located between islands, the water around the beach is very shallow and there are almost no rips so it’s pretty safe for little kids to swim and play.

After touring around all the beaches on Miyakojima and nearby islands, Yonaha is the best beach for suntanning for me. It is easy to access and has free parking. There are sun beds renting services available, there is a cafe on the beach and a shower/toilet. The beach itself is very long, with amazing soft white sand. There are more shallow areas further towards tokyu hotel for the ones coming with kids. In the evening you can be lucky to view amazing sunset, if not too cloudy. The only thing I wouldn’t come here for is snorkeling: haven’t really seen any fish here.

It’s a nice beach to play in the water. Sunset is looking nice too. I went there on the very last day of February and was lucky that the weather was warm for that one day. It was like my private beach 😀

In the late afternoon of August 18, 2019, I drove here to see if the sun would set for me. There is a car park good for about 30 cars. The beach is huge but beach goers are few - the most spectacular one in Miyoka Island.

Really clear water..no editing. Perfect beach to spend the whole day There is small white sand mountain too to get some nice pics. Ample space for parking too..

One of my favourite places on the planet. The quality of the beach, sea, facilities and surrounding nature married with a bit of man-made practicality is top class; not many more beautiful places than this.

I made a mistake and rented a primitive bicycle to cross the bridge and go all the way to Toriike pond and back. It took 4 hours, I was exhausted 😂but I did it so it can be done. On the way back I saw a car which just had an accident. I guess the driver was looking at the nice view and forgot to pay attention to the road.

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Miyako, the 3,540m long Irabu Ohashi Bridge connects Miyako Island and Irabu Island. As you drive across the bridge you can look over the turquoise ocean. Loved the he unique view as you go up and down the unique curve of the bridge.

What a bridge! Amazing architecture and no toll charge. On the Irabu side there is a nice shop, service area and restaurant.

Amazing demonstration of architecture.. Really beautiful and that too without toll charges.

So beautiful, you will cross it for sur with your car coming to Miyako. Enjoy !!

So much better than having to swim to Irabu!

Beautiful place

Beautiful sunset view here.

I want to like this tiny little beach but can’t. It’s totally abused, unmanaged, and dirty. It’s disappointing and sad to see the locals allow this sacred place to fall into such disrepair. The beach is on the rent-a-car drive circuit so has a lot of traffic. The parking lot is fairly large with toilets and a shower facility. The beach itself is a striking small crescent surrounded by coral escarpment. The south escarpment has been formed into a large natural arch. Unfortunately, the arch has been fenced off with some very ugly fencing (due to falling rocks) and warning signs, so forget about that insta photo. Trash and litter impair the beach area and lots of plastic bottles just thrown away (the vending machines at parking lot do not have a waste receptacle so people just toss the bottles). Rusty beach chairs are lined up for rent from an unlicensed vendor. It’s just so sad to see such a wonderful natural place be treated with disrespect by both locals and visitors alike.

Gorgeous but very small and not swimmable the day I went. Very powerful waves on a little bit rainy day in March. I could barely put my feet into without the current trying to pull me out as the waves crashed against the rocks. It was a nice bike ride from the main town, only 1 hill up

Sunayama Beach on Miyakojima Island is a tropical paradise that beckons with its stunning beauty. The crescent-shaped beach boasts soft, powdery white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters, creating a postcard-perfect setting. The surrounding limestone formations add a unique touch to the scenery, making Sunayama Beach stand out among the island's coastal gems. The calm and inviting waters make it an excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling, allowing visitors to explore the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. The beach's accessibility and well-maintained facilities contribute to a pleasant and relaxing experience. For those seeking a blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities, Sunayama Beach is a definite highlight of Miyakojima, promising a memorable escape into tropical paradise.

Beautiful sand beach with turquoise water nice on sunsets!

You can get there on foot or bus from the town if you don’t have a car. Not too busy and you can do snorkeling and see some fishes.

The beach is soooo amazing! The shallow beach stretches out to quite far into the ocean, so you can walk or swim in water to really far. The rocks are being fenced off because there is potential falling for them, so be careful when you are near. It was a bit cloudy when we went but I can see it being a beautiful sunset place.

A beautiful beach 🏖️ for sight-seeing. A famous tourist spot in Miyakojima.

Very charming beach, a little bit remote, accessible by foot after a 3 minutes walk, definitely nice for pictures and spending a calm moment. Not the best sand though, but still a lovely place!

It’s a perfect place to take pictures of yourself in nature with beautiful colors around. For swimming I’m not sure, the waves were too fierce looking I couldn’t get into the water. 🥲

This is the only Miyoka beach that has taxis’ waiting near the free car park (good for about 30 cars). The actual sight is a bit different from promo photos. I did not manage my expectations and was rather disappointed having swum and hung around in the small beach on August 19, 2019.

Such a beautiful place! The sea is not completely calm, i would say average but you can still bring kids here to play. There’s a little place that rents out umbrellas, chairs and water equipment. I didn’t go to the water as you as signs about the dangerous animals.

Near the lighthouse you could by an ice cream and enjoy it while watching the blue sea. It's a 20' ride from Hirara or if you're in adventure mode, rent a road bike and ride from there, about 1hs at best. The lighthouse worth a climb (300yen admission fee). This is the top scenic spot in Miyakojima.

Cape Higashi Hennazaki is a breathtaking coastal destination in Miyako City, Japan. The stunning views from the Hennazaki Lighthouse provide a serene escape, with rugged cliffs meeting the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The natural beauty and tranquility make it a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful retreat in a picturesque setting.

A must visit on Miyakojima and for the Ryukyu kingdom as well. Iconic views of the ocean and surrounding coral and rock features. Beautiful when calm, absolutely awe inspiring when there are gargantuan waves. The lighthouse has a small entrance fee and and a small climb up as there is no elevator but indeed the view is worth it. Parking is easy and nearby with clean toilet facilities. There are often ice cream vendor trucks. Check out a geocache just inside the walking trail and away from the ocean/rocks. Find the location of it via geocaching.com. There might even be traveling trackable items ready to move contained within. The sunrises here are unforgettable. If you are here now, I am supremely jealous but know I will be back as you will as well :-)

You need to enter the cape and if you want to go up the lighthouse then you have to pay 300 yen more.

Good view point as per write ups. Worth stopping and having a look. The pacific becomes South China Sea around here.

Other side of Miyako island so rent a car or make a friend. Perfect place to cap a beach day with beautiful views of the ocean and the lighthouse.

Very nice place Really worth the trip I take a bus from the main city on the west coast, then hitchhiking till the lighthouse. No probs for hitching :) The lighthouse clerk is very nice No food on site only beverage machines

Miyakojima Capehigashi-Hennazaki must visit place. Beautiful and Original Miyako People arround the are living. Free entry this place every one. Toilet and free Parking facilities available here.

Very nice POV you can go up the light house for few hundred yen. Worth to go if you are around.

Really wonderful spot in Miyakojima, a must do definitely. This was such a beautiful landscape. Couldn’t help but think about the latest Avatar movie with all the rocks/small islands popping out of the water.

Beautiful place, especially when you are there for sunset. Incredibly blue water and stone formations in sea. All needed infrastructure, parking toilets, not an usual playground, local snack truck. Plenty places to have nice seat in private not disturbed atmosphere with great scenic beauty.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful sea. (Original) キレイな海です。

(Translated by Google) I think it is the island with the most protected nature in the Miyako Islands. Most of the other islands have been turned into fields, and surprisingly there aren't many places where nature remains. It is thanks to the wetlands that nature remains on this island. It is also a charm unique to this island that cannot be found on other islands. (Original) 宮古列島で一番自然が守られている島だと思う。 他の島はほとんど畑にされてしまっていて意外と自然が残っている場所は多くない。 この島に自然が残されているのは湿原のおかげ。他の島には無いこの島だけの魅力でもある。

(Translated by Google) You can go around Ikema Island. There is a souvenir shop at the foot of the bridge where sea grapes are cheap. We also have sugarcane juice. (Original) 池間島、一周出来ます。 橋のたもとにお土産屋さんがあり海ぶどうが安いです。あとサトウキビジュースもあります。

(Translated by Google) Ikema Island has many attractions, including Ikema Ohashi Bridge. The breathtaking views around Heart Rock and Fukunasu are a must-see. For souvenirs, we recommend Kaimir, located in the parking lot on the Ikema Island side of the Ikema Bridge. You can get it cheaply. If you climb to the roof of this shop, you can see a panoramic view of Ikema Ohashi Bridge. (Original) 池間大橋はじめ、見どころも多い池間島です。 ハート岩やフクナス周辺の絶景は、必見です。 お土産は、池間大橋池間島側駐車場にある海美来（カイミール）がお勧めです。お安く手に入れられます。このお店の屋上に登ると池間大橋が一望できます。

(Translated by Google) It's a smaller island compared to Irabu, so it was quite interesting to go around the island. I went out to the sandy beach and walked along the coastline, but when I saw people coming out, I realized that I could walk for the first time, which was great, but it was a little scary because it was so high up. The path was made of rocks that had erupted and was very rough and difficult to walk on. (Original) 伊良部に比べて、小さな島なので島一周もなかなか面白かったです。 砂浜に出て海岸線沿いを歩きましたが、人が出てきて、はじめて、歩ける事に気付き良かったです、高さがあるので、少し怖かったです。噴火した、岩石の道がゴツゴツしてて、歩きづらかったです。

(Translated by Google) I saw a lot of wild animals. We recommend that you do not fly too much when driving. The Japanese rails do not seem to be afraid of cars and try to cross the road on foot. There was also a mongoose. Irabu Ohashi Bridge tends to get a lot of attention, but Ikema Ohashi Bridge, the beach at the foot of the bridge, and facilities like the roadside station are also wonderful. (Original) 野生動物にたくさん会えました。 車運転されるときはあまり飛ばさないことをお勧めします。 ヤンバルクイナはあまり車を怖がっていないようで、普通に道路を歩いて渡ろうとします。 マングースもいました。 伊良部大橋が注目されがちですが、池間大橋と袂のビーチ、道の駅のような施設も素敵です。

(Translated by Google) The area around the sand pool in front of Ikema Ohashi Bridge is very beautiful. I was disappointed to see that the price of grilled turban shells has recently increased to 200 yen per piece. It used to be 100 yen. (Original) 池間大橋の手前の砂溜まり周辺がとても綺麗です。最近、サザエのつぼ焼きが一個200円に値上がりしたのを見て残念。昔は100円だったのに、。

(Translated by Google) The northernmost tip of Miyakojima is not only a beautiful beach where manta rays live. Huge 🌴 Coconut crabs, Okaka crabs, Okajuku crabs (I heard they live there) 🍍Tropical plants such as pine trees, 🍌Island bananas, beautiful flowers were in full bloom, and this time I encountered a large swarm of butterflies. *The photo is of 🍍 pandanus, not pine. I excited about beautiful tranquil forest enjoyed nature. A lot of butterflies gather in places where flowers are blooming. This is my personal paradise. (Original) 宮古島の最北端、マンタも生息し美しいビーチだけじゃありません。巨大🌴ヤシガニ、オカガニ、オカ宿ガニ(住んでいるそうです。)🍍パイン、🍌島バナナなど熱帯植物、綺麗な花も咲き乱れ、今回はたくさんの蝶々の大群に遭遇。※写真は🍍パインではなくアダンです。I excited about beautiful tranquil forest enjoyed nature. A lot of butterflies gather in places where flowers are blooming. This is my personal paradise.

Very nice and long beach. Went there for snorkelling alone and I could spot turtles on the left side. There is a small shop at the entrance of the beach if you want to rent some stuff. Many plastics bottles on the beach unfortunately l.

Left side for the sea turtles and right side for fish. I went up the left side to see the turtles and there were quite a few around. If you go a bit further out there is coral and fish too. Popular place with some businesses operating here and lots of tours operating. Running water and maybe toilet and change rooms were available.

I rate this beach 5 stars because it was one of the best snorkeling in my life. Only La Digue in Seychelles provided better spots. The beach itself is very nice, but not amazing, but you will definitely see many different fish in a HUGE amount, a very nice experience!

Free parking lot if you arrive early enough, otherwise ¥1000. Free toilets and shower facilities, a couple of people greeted us to introduce the beach. I though they would charge us or try to sell us something but did not. Food is available from the cart, drinks from a few places. Seats with no umbrella are free. Wave size and depth makes this very suitable for kids. It’s a very easy snorkel, going further out it gets better for adults. We saw three kinds of clown fish, and there are turtles if you look hard. They are pretty chilled just chewing the grass. Staff in concessions were all helpful and friendly to us.

Saw two sea turtles having a little nibble on the grass on the far left of the beach. The area is pretty shallow, no more than 6ft deep. The beach itself is beautiful, very sandy and clean near the entrance. There is a lot of washed up debris and some broken glass to be expected. Despite that still an amazing place to visit for snorkeling. Free parking is limited, and there are showers and toilets here.

Apart from a few free parking slots, there is a big compound for cars at Yen1000/day. I drove here on August 19, 2019; and since I had paid, I decided to swim here for as long as I wished. The shallow water here is very clear and the coral fish give swimmers good company.

12/2022 Only one other couple there. A family came later. Beautiful place. Some reviews say there are only a few free parking spots- well, in the wintertime, those few are more than enough, so no worries 😅

The underwater world is amazing. Colorful fish nd clear water. Bring you equipment and cannot miss it. Do remember to protect the environment during your stay.

Beautiful bridge.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during my trip around Japan. It's a bridge with a beautiful view of the sea ... After all, the three islands that go from Miyakojima, Irabu Ohashi and Ikema Ohashi, all have the same feeling. If you choose one of them, choose Irabu Ohashi, an island with many tourist spots. The number one highlight of Kurima Island is the Ryuuguujo Observatory. Perhaps you can see the beautiful view of the sea on Miyakojima! Also, if you go to the back, you will find the Seawood Hotel, which has a nice atmosphere, and you can have a slightly higher lunch. It is a recommended hotel because it has a nice atmosphere. (Original) 日本一周旅の途中で寄りました。 美しい海が見える橋ですが… 結局、宮古島から行く3つの島で伊良部大橋、池間大橋どの橋も同じ様な感じですね。 その中から1つの橋を選ぶとしたら観光スポットが多い島の伊良部大橋を選びます。 来間島の1番の見どころは竜宮城展望台です。 おそらく宮古島一キレイ海の景色が見れるんではないでしょうか！ あと、奥に行くと雰囲気のいいシーウッドホテルがあり、ちょっと高めのランチがいただけますよ。 雰囲気が良いのでオススメホテルです。

Good view

(Translated by Google) I went in July 2023. It seems to be a popular driving spot, but it was early in the morning so I couldn't see Miyako Blue (lol) I should have checked the time and weather. Still, it's much more beautiful than the sea around there. (Original) 2023年の7月に行きました。 人気ドライブスポットみたいですが、早朝だったため宮古ブルーを確認することはできず(泣) 時間帯や天気は確認すべきでしたね。 それでもそこら辺の海より全然キレイです。

(Translated by Google) A bridge that runs over a beautiful coral sea. When the weather is clear, you should be able to see the beautiful coral reef sea. It was a cloudy sky so I couldn't see the ocean that clearly, but... When this bridge was first built, it was treated as a farm road bridge. It seems that the island's lifelines such as water and electricity are connected under this bridge. (Original) 綺麗な珊瑚の海の上を走る橋。 晴れると美しいサンゴ礁の海が見えるはずです。 私は曇り空だったのでそこまでは綺麗な海には見えなかったですが、、 この橋はできた当初は農道橋扱いだったそうです。 この橋の下には水道、電気などの島のライフラインが接続されているようです。

(Translated by Google) The sea was beautiful even though it was cloudy. This bridge, which has a total length of 1,690 meters, has a sidewalk, so you can also walk across it. (Original) 曇っていても海がきれいでした。 全長1690ｍのこの橋には歩道があるので歩いて渡ることもできます。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the sunrise early in the morning. It’s the best🌅 By the way, the sunrise time was 6:22. (Original) 早朝日の出🌄を見に行って来ました。最高です🌅 ちなみに、日の出時刻6時22分でした。

(Original) 沖縄県宮古市　来間大橋 一言、絶景❣️ 一面エメラルドグリーンの海🏖️橋が映えます‼️ 来間島はおしゃれなカフェ、美味しい宮古そばのお店などもああります。

Great diving

(Translated by Google) Shimoji Island can be reached by car from Miyako Island by crossing the Irabu Ohashi Bridge and passing through Irabu Island. The view of the sea from Irabu Ohashi Bridge is so beautiful on a clear day that you won't believe it's out of this world. Tori Pond on Shimoji Island had a beautiful view of the ocean beyond the pond. (Original) 下地島は宮古島から伊良部大橋を渡り、伊良部島を経て車で来ることができます。 伊良部大橋からの見える海の景色は、晴れているとこの世のものとは思えないぐらい、美しい海です。 下地島にある通り池は、池越しに見る海がとてもきれいでした。

(Translated by Google) Among the beautiful Miyako Islands, this is an island where you can enjoy particularly clear waters and spectacular views. (Original) 美しい宮古島の中でも、特に透明度の高い海や絶景を楽しめる島。

(Translated by Google) Shimojishima is famous for Shimojishima Airport. Training for major airlines has ended, but there is training for small aircraft for Ryukyu Air and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Even though there are no planes flying, the sea in End 17 is absolutely beautiful. (Original) 下地島空港で有名な下地島。大手航空会社の訓練は終わってしまったけど、琉球エアや国交省の小型機の訓練はある。飛行機は飛んでいなくとも、17エンドの海は最高に美しい。

(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful island with a beautiful sea and climate that I hope will never change. (Original) 美しい海と風土、何時までも変わらないで欲しい素敵な島です。

(Translated by Google) Shimoji Island is dotted with very famous diving spots such as Tori Pond. I like that you can enjoy the unique marine environment rather than the scenery that looks like Miyakojima. There is no information about sunsets from the beach, but it might be fun to look for such spots. With the Irabu Ohashi Bridge and Shimoji Airport, access has become more convenient. The number of accommodation facilities has started to increase, but if you want to enjoy the night, we recommend staying at a hotel on Miyakojima. From Locus, Atoll, and Sail In, you can see the sunset over Irabu Ohashi Bridge. I would like to be careful about environmental protection, such as making sure to take my trash home with me. (Original) 通り池などのとても有名なダイビングスポットが点在している下地島 宮古島の様に映える景色というよりも、独特な海洋環境を楽しむことが出来るのが気に入っています ビーチからのサンセットなどは情報がありませんが、そんなポイントを探すのも楽しいかもしれませんね 伊良部大橋がかかり、また、下地空港ができ、アクセスが便利になりました 宿泊施設もポツポツ増え始めましたが、夜を楽しみたい方は宮古島のホテルに泊まる事をおすすめします ローカス、アトール、セイルインからは伊良部大橋越しにサンセットを臨む事ができそうです ゴミの持ち帰りを徹底するなど、環境保護への配慮には気をつけたいです

(Translated by Google) The sea next to the closed ANA airport here is the most beautiful sea I have ever seen and I was impressed. Australia's barrier reef, the sea of ​​Hateruma Island, the beach in front of the Tokyu Hotel, which claims to be the best in Toyo, is it here? (Original) ここの全日空の閉鎖された空港の横にある海は、私が今まで見た海の中でも一番綺麗で感動しました。オーストラリアのバリアリーフいやいや、波照間島の海いやいや、東洋一と名乗る東急ホテルの前のビーチいやいや、ここでしょ！

Pretty ugly ngl. And a crab pinched off my toe

miracle island

Fantastic place for diving

(Translated by Google) It has been gaining popularity ever since Irabu Ohashi Bridge was built. Photographs of Irabu Ohashi Bridge from Irabu Island can be taken from the Makiyama Observation Deck, a view from the field a little further down the road from here, and from a short distance on Route 204 to the right after crossing the Ohashi Bridge. You can take pictures of the bridge. In particular, go down from the parking lot on the Irabu Island side of this bridge to the sandy beach at the foot of the bridge and take a look. The clear sea with the sandy beach in the background, and the sea color changing from pale blue to deep dark blue in concentric circles, makes for a picturesque view. Please note that parking is prohibited on Irabu Ohashi Bridge, except for emergency vehicles. (Original) 伊良部大橋が出来てから人気沸騰中ですね。 伊良部島からの伊良部大橋の撮影は、牧山展望台、ここから少し道を下った先の畑の先からの眺め、また、大橋を渡って右に204号線上の少し行った所から、伊良部部大橋を撮ることが出来ます。 特に、この橋の伊良部島側の駐車場から麓の砂浜に降りて見て下さい。砂浜の海辺の砂場を背景にした透明な海、淡い青色から深い濃い青色に同心円状に変化する海色は、絵に描いたような素晴らしい絶景を観ることが出来ます。 伊良部大橋は、緊急車以外、駐停車禁止ですので、ご注意ください。

(Translated by Google) When the weather is clear, the island is stunning with its blue sky, shallow blue sea, and white sandy beach. The sea is beautiful no matter where you look. However, it was frustrating to take photos last year and this year due to occasional squalls~(>_<) (Original) 晴れたら、青い空と遠浅なブルーの海と白い砂浜が見事な島です♪ 大体どこから見ても、海がメチャ綺麗です。 しかし、たまのスコールで去年も今年も写真撮影では悔しかった～(>_<)

(Translated by Google) With the construction of Irabu Ohashi Bridge, Development is accelerating Construction is underway everywhere. There are days when the relaxing atmosphere disappears. It won't be long. (Original) 伊良部大橋が出来た事により、 開発が加速化して あちこちで建設が進められています。 のんびりとした雰囲気が無くなる日も そう遠くないでしょう。

(Translated by Google) Unlike Miyakojima, this island retains a laid-back atmosphere. I'm going to do nothing... (Original) 宮古島とは違い、のんびりした雰囲気を残す島です。なにもしない…をやりに行くところです。

17endから近いので寄ってみた。 綺麗な駐車場とトイレがあり、3分程歩くと池があります。池の隣り展望台というか東屋がひとつあるだけで17end同様ほぼ日陰はないので注意。 池の先は遊歩道になっていて進んでみたものの、途中で行き止まり。そこの下の岩場を良く見てみるとかつてはこの先も遊歩道があったと思われる土台跡が続いていたのでもっと海付近まで行けた模様。 通り池自体はとても綺麗な青色でした。周りは岩壁でその先に海が見えてて、水平線が思ったより上に見えたのでなんか違和感あった面白い風景。 所要時間15～30分 (Translated by Google) It's close to 17end, so I stopped by. There is a clean parking lot and toilet, and there is a pond when you walk for about 3 minutes. Just like the 17th end, there is almost no shade, so be careful. The tip of the pond is a promenade and I tried to proceed, but I ended up on the way. If you look closely at the rocky area below there, it seems that you could go closer to the sea because the foundation traces that were once a promenade were still there. The pond itself was a very beautiful blue. Surrounded by rocky walls, you can see the sea ahead, and the horizon looks higher than you think, so it's an interesting scenery. Time required 15-30 minutes

Toriike Pond is a tranquil oasis nestled in nature, offering a serene escape for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery, the pond's reflective surface mirrors the beauty of its surroundings, creating a picturesque setting. The walking paths around Toriike Pond provide a leisurely stroll, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. The pond's clear waters and the gentle sounds of rustling leaves contribute to a calming atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for contemplation or a leisurely picnic. Whether you're an avid nature lover, a photographer, or someone looking for a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle, Toriike Pond offers a delightful and refreshing experience in harmony with the natural world.

駐車場にトイレも整備されています。夕方行ったら、途中のマングローブ林が気味悪いくらい。池を上から眺めますが、もっとよく見たいなあ。池を眺めてその先に遊歩道を歩くと、突然行き止まります(笑) (Translated by Google) There are also toilets in the parking lot. If you go in the evening, the mangrove forest on the way is creepy. I look at the pond from above, but I want to see it better. If you look at the pond and walk on the promenade ahead of it, you will suddenly come to a dead end (laughs)

広い(無料)駐車場からゆっくり歩いて７分で池は左右に２つあります。さらに岩場の上を遊歩道になっていて、道が整っていなければここまではこないし、この自然美も保てないと思います。この島は静かな三線が似合う風景が多いのですがここは無音で遠くからの波の音が大海が想像される分、独得の青いにみりょうされます。潮位の上がリ下がリで少しずつ侵食されているようで、年月がたつとこの風景も変わるだろうと思うとしばらく立ちつくすようでした。妻はガイドさんの(民話の説明)声が耳に入り異なる印象をもったようです。 (Translated by Google) A leisurely 7-minute walk from the large (free) parking lot will take you to two ponds on the left and right. Furthermore, there is a promenade on top of a rocky area, and if the path was not in good condition, you would not be able to get to this point and you would not be able to preserve this natural beauty. There are many landscapes on this island that are suitable for a quiet sanshin, but here there is no sound, and the sound of waves from a distance makes you think of the ocean, giving it a unique blue color. It seemed like the top of the tide level was eroding little by little, and the bottom was eroding, and I stood still for a while thinking that this landscape would change as time went on. My wife heard the guide's voice (explaining the folklore) and seemed to have a different impression.

View of the open ocean near the end is mesmerising. On a clear sunny day, the pond water and ocean is sparkling along with the bright green trees populating the space. It can get very hot, but it won’t be crowded because this place is very secluded, making it great for freedom photography.

View is spectacular. But we went at noon and there are a lot of mainland Chinese tourists. They are loud and annoying. Try your luck.

駐車場も広くトイレもあり便利です。 通り池までは木のトンネルを抜けた先にあります。 木のトンネルはワクワクするような雰囲気です。 大きな穴が２つ空いていて神秘的です。 ここの海の色はディープブルーです。 昔鍾乳洞で天井が落ちこの形になったみたいです。 その間を通って海近くまで遊歩道で行くことができます。 観光時間も短く見れるので良いです! (Translated by Google) The parking lot is large and there are toilets, which is convenient. The Tori Pond is located after passing through a tunnel of trees. The tree tunnel is an exciting atmosphere. There are two large holes and it is mysterious. The color of the sea here is deep blue. It seems that the ceiling fell down in a limestone cave long ago and became this shape. You can take a promenade through it to reach the sea. It's good because you can see the sights in a short time!

無料です。大きめの駐車場でトイレもあり、行きやすいです。駐車場から並木道を抜けると池が見えます。青くてきれいです。ダイビングしていました。歩道がきれいに整備されていて歩きやすく、10分ほど歩くくらいで気持ち良い散歩道です。遠くに見える断崖や海辺もきれいですし、僕が行った時はマナーがよい観光客のみで皆、静かに観光していました。絶景ではありませんがおすすめです。 (Translated by Google) Free. There is a large parking lot with restrooms and easy access. You can see the pond after passing through the tree-lined path from the parking lot. It's blue and beautiful. I was diving. The sidewalks are well-maintained and easy to walk, and it's a pleasant walk that takes about 10 minutes. The cliffs and seaside that can be seen in the distance are beautiful, and when I went there, everyone was sightseeing quietly, with only well-behaved tourists. It's not a spectacular view, but it's recommended.

A cool place. If you're interested, please do come and visit here.

Its a unique sight seeing spot. Its free of cost. Both sides of the bridge has a huge pond filled with blue water. Its very unique. Must see.

Beautiful short hike to see a very secluded and beautiful place. There are well maintained walking decks that take you to the edge of the box and right up next to two very large sinkholes with beautiful blue water in the bottom. Similar to cenotes in Mexico but with much more rugged terrain. .

A walk of a hundred metres plus a little take you to the two ponds. They are pretty but the path has been cut short and just ends with nothing interesting. Maybe typhoon damage. Stick to the beaches and if you really have nothing to do, come here. Interesting geological features! The beach st the end of this road is good

Nice place Almost no one there (lucky) I wish there was more place to walk around the area

It’s a nice looking little pond.

The Ryuuguujo Observation Deck offers a mesmerizing panorama of its surroundings. Perched at a vantage point, visitors are treated to sweeping views of the landscape, capturing the essence of natural beauty and urban charm. The well-designed deck enhances the overall experience, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and photography enthusiasts. Whether day or night, the Ryuuguujo Observation Deck provides an unforgettable perspective, making it a worthwhile visit for anyone exploring the area.

The destination for all the rental cars that cross the long bridge to tiny Kurima Island. Parking lot can get full. Climb to the top for a spectacular view. Best on sunny days to get the most of the blue

It’s a nice view of Miyakojima island and the sea. There’s one more observation deck right before this one, you better find it too if you’re going all the way up here, it has a nice shade and a table.

My husband and I ventured here and loved the view!! Plenty of parking in front of it and the observation deck is just down the way from a couple of good restaurants and I think a coffee place! The views really were beautiful! The only thing I’d caution people on are the spiders. Oh wow - they were huge. We found two in the right side of the building and one on a tree headed out. 😰😱 But the view...was great!

To access to the old and ugly observation deck with a car requires some effort. But the view the deck offer is great. I had a great time enjoy the environment on August 19, 2019.

One of the best view you can find in Miyako. Definitely a place you have to go.

Absolutely gorgeous view and easily accessible from the parking lot, which is free. As some others have already pointed out, there are these HUGE spiders around the area, mostly on the trees. But still, well worth the visit.

building is renovated. but still keep funny style. However, its top roof has superbub view.

Near the lighthouse you could by an ice cream and enjoy it while watching the blue sea. It's a 20' ride from Hirara or if you're in adventure mode, rent a road bike and ride from there, about 1hs at best. The lighthouse worth a climb (300yen admission fee). This is the top scenic spot in Miyakojima.

Cape Higashi Hennazaki is a breathtaking coastal destination in Miyako City, Japan. The stunning views from the Hennazaki Lighthouse provide a serene escape, with rugged cliffs meeting the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The natural beauty and tranquility make it a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful retreat in a picturesque setting.

A must visit on Miyakojima and for the Ryukyu kingdom as well. Iconic views of the ocean and surrounding coral and rock features. Beautiful when calm, absolutely awe inspiring when there are gargantuan waves. The lighthouse has a small entrance fee and and a small climb up as there is no elevator but indeed the view is worth it. Parking is easy and nearby with clean toilet facilities. There are often ice cream vendor trucks. Check out a geocache just inside the walking trail and away from the ocean/rocks. Find the location of it via geocaching.com. There might even be traveling trackable items ready to move contained within. The sunrises here are unforgettable. If you are here now, I am supremely jealous but know I will be back as you will as well :-)

You need to enter the cape and if you want to go up the lighthouse then you have to pay 300 yen more.

Good view point as per write ups. Worth stopping and having a look. The pacific becomes South China Sea around here.

Other side of Miyako island so rent a car or make a friend. Perfect place to cap a beach day with beautiful views of the ocean and the lighthouse.

Very nice place Really worth the trip I take a bus from the main city on the west coast, then hitchhiking till the lighthouse. No probs for hitching :) The lighthouse clerk is very nice No food on site only beverage machines

Miyakojima Capehigashi-Hennazaki must visit place. Beautiful and Original Miyako People arround the are living. Free entry this place every one. Toilet and free Parking facilities available here.

Very nice POV you can go up the light house for few hundred yen. Worth to go if you are around.

Really wonderful spot in Miyakojima, a must do definitely. This was such a beautiful landscape. Couldn’t help but think about the latest Avatar movie with all the rocks/small islands popping out of the water.

Beautiful place, especially when you are there for sunset. Incredibly blue water and stone formations in sea. All needed infrastructure, parking toilets, not an usual playground, local snack truck. Plenty places to have nice seat in private not disturbed atmosphere with great scenic beauty.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful sea. (Original) キレイな海です。

(Translated by Google) I think it is the island with the most protected nature in the Miyako Islands. Most of the other islands have been turned into fields, and surprisingly there aren't many places where nature remains. It is thanks to the wetlands that nature remains on this island. It is also a charm unique to this island that cannot be found on other islands. (Original) 宮古列島で一番自然が守られている島だと思う。 他の島はほとんど畑にされてしまっていて意外と自然が残っている場所は多くない。 この島に自然が残されているのは湿原のおかげ。他の島には無いこの島だけの魅力でもある。

(Translated by Google) You can go around Ikema Island. There is a souvenir shop at the foot of the bridge where sea grapes are cheap. We also have sugarcane juice. (Original) 池間島、一周出来ます。 橋のたもとにお土産屋さんがあり海ぶどうが安いです。あとサトウキビジュースもあります。

(Translated by Google) Ikema Island has many attractions, including Ikema Ohashi Bridge. The breathtaking views around Heart Rock and Fukunasu are a must-see. For souvenirs, we recommend Kaimir, located in the parking lot on the Ikema Island side of the Ikema Bridge. You can get it cheaply. If you climb to the roof of this shop, you can see a panoramic view of Ikema Ohashi Bridge. (Original) 池間大橋はじめ、見どころも多い池間島です。 ハート岩やフクナス周辺の絶景は、必見です。 お土産は、池間大橋池間島側駐車場にある海美来（カイミール）がお勧めです。お安く手に入れられます。このお店の屋上に登ると池間大橋が一望できます。

(Translated by Google) It's a smaller island compared to Irabu, so it was quite interesting to go around the island. I went out to the sandy beach and walked along the coastline, but when I saw people coming out, I realized that I could walk for the first time, which was great, but it was a little scary because it was so high up. The path was made of rocks that had erupted and was very rough and difficult to walk on. (Original) 伊良部に比べて、小さな島なので島一周もなかなか面白かったです。 砂浜に出て海岸線沿いを歩きましたが、人が出てきて、はじめて、歩ける事に気付き良かったです、高さがあるので、少し怖かったです。噴火した、岩石の道がゴツゴツしてて、歩きづらかったです。

(Translated by Google) I saw a lot of wild animals. We recommend that you do not fly too much when driving. The Japanese rails do not seem to be afraid of cars and try to cross the road on foot. There was also a mongoose. Irabu Ohashi Bridge tends to get a lot of attention, but Ikema Ohashi Bridge, the beach at the foot of the bridge, and facilities like the roadside station are also wonderful. (Original) 野生動物にたくさん会えました。 車運転されるときはあまり飛ばさないことをお勧めします。 ヤンバルクイナはあまり車を怖がっていないようで、普通に道路を歩いて渡ろうとします。 マングースもいました。 伊良部大橋が注目されがちですが、池間大橋と袂のビーチ、道の駅のような施設も素敵です。

(Translated by Google) The area around the sand pool in front of Ikema Ohashi Bridge is very beautiful. I was disappointed to see that the price of grilled turban shells has recently increased to 200 yen per piece. It used to be 100 yen. (Original) 池間大橋の手前の砂溜まり周辺がとても綺麗です。最近、サザエのつぼ焼きが一個200円に値上がりしたのを見て残念。昔は100円だったのに、。

(Translated by Google) The northernmost tip of Miyakojima is not only a beautiful beach where manta rays live. Huge 🌴 Coconut crabs, Okaka crabs, Okajuku crabs (I heard they live there) 🍍Tropical plants such as pine trees, 🍌Island bananas, beautiful flowers were in full bloom, and this time I encountered a large swarm of butterflies. *The photo is of 🍍 pandanus, not pine. I excited about beautiful tranquil forest enjoyed nature. A lot of butterflies gather in places where flowers are blooming. This is my personal paradise. (Original) 宮古島の最北端、マンタも生息し美しいビーチだけじゃありません。巨大🌴ヤシガニ、オカガニ、オカ宿ガニ(住んでいるそうです。)🍍パイン、🍌島バナナなど熱帯植物、綺麗な花も咲き乱れ、今回はたくさんの蝶々の大群に遭遇。※写真は🍍パインではなくアダンです。I excited about beautiful tranquil forest enjoyed nature. A lot of butterflies gather in places where flowers are blooming. This is my personal paradise.

Absolutely beautiful beach. One of the best beaches in Miyako, Okinawa and all of Japan. Can jet ski and kayak here but not for diving as there isn’t many corals. I recommend to take a jet ski tour when it’s a beautiful day. You won’t regret it.

My all-time favorite beach. For the rest of my life, I will compare all other beaches to this one.

É um lugar como uma praia particular com figuras esparsas. It is a very relaxing and quiet beach. Just looking at the scenery will rest your mind

Soft sand and the great beach

It’s so beautiful and I lost my words when I stand there, in front of the sea.

The ocean link .. restaurant ou dîner great view. .. from the golf and see

Comfortable and relax

Soft sand, perfect soothing waves calmly.

Beautiful view, it is small but it is still worth a visit.

Good place to experience underwater world if you don't dive. You can get discounted tickets during bad weather when there's lesser fish. Also you can walk along the wooden walkway to enjoy beautiful scenery and pickup seashells. There's more parking bays next to the building itself.

All the best things is shown in the entrance. Inside is very boring.

This place is fine for kids and even for adults you can see some good fish if you are lucky. It’s an underwater aquarium, so you walk down the steps and there are viewing ports. There are a couple of clown fish colonies, we saw some huge parrot fish, some angel fish and plenty of others I don’t know the names of. Has a restaurant too if you are hungry. DuplIcate posting from Japanese appearance.

The view underwater is amazing and there is a cafe and gift shop within the complex. You can get a discount on a mango drink if you purchase it with the entrance ticket.

A very unusual place, where you are immersed just a few meters below ocean level. You can observe different species of fish, depending on your luck that day. Be carefull you can only pay BY CASH.

Good place elderly and young kids to see the piece of the ocean. The road for visit the place really narrow for some parts. No sign for handicap parking ( only two handicap parking in front for the main entrance but no access sign was between the parking to main door. No elevator so only stair lift for wheelchair (one person at a time) no air conditioning under the review room. No English services only some displays. People usually stay for half hours to 45 minutes.

Novel way to see underwater life, although you're at the mercy of which sea creatures choose to be nearby! Apparently no free WiFi in the attraction; small shop, and toilets.
