Yonaha Beach is a stunning white sand beach located on the eastern coast of Miyakojima. The beach is known for its clear waters and stunning views of Kurima Island, making it one of the most popular beaches on the island. Facilities include showers, toilets, and a small cafe/outpost for water sports rentals.
夕日を見に18時前に行きました。

The sun was still strong when I arrived.

I was reading while laying down on a sheet.
If the wind is strong and you stay in the shade, you won't sweat.
We had a great time until the sun set.
The sunset was very beautiful and I'm glad I came.

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。

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.

Be careful in the car on the way home because the sandy beach is smooth.

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.

Irabu Ohashi is one of the three major bridges in Miyako, measuring 3540 meters (2.2mi) in length and considered the longest. Completed in 2015, it has spurred development of resorts and hotels on Irabu and Shimoji Islands, leading to increased traffic at the local airport. The bridge is an impressive feat of architecture that does not require toll charges for crossing it.

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.

(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.

Aragusuku beach on Miyako island in Japan is a great place for beginners to snorkel and explore the underwater world. The clear waters are sheltered from big waves and there are tropical fish and coral to be seen at low tide.
It is possible to visit by bus to Shinjo and then a 30 minute walk to the beach. Walking back up the slope is not as bad as it looks. Didn’t see any sea turtles or clown fish. During low tide it was easy to walk out quite far.

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.
Fergus MacDermot — Google review
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.

The Ikema Bridge is a beautiful tourist attraction on Miyakojima that spans over a kilometer long and has amazing views of the emerald-green sea. It was completed in 1992, and it's one of the few bridges on Miyakojima that connects two islands.

(Translated by Google) Visited in early November.
According to a friend who lives on the main island of Okinawa, this is the time of year when you're least likely to go wrong...due to typhoons and the season (though it was midsummer rather than the lingering heat...lol)
I thought the sea view from this bridge connecting Miyakojima and Ikemajima was the most beautiful in the Miyakojima area.
The Irabu Ohashi Bridge was also an exciting sight, but this one is a little more moving.
It was a trip with friends that I thought would be the first and last time since I don't usually travel, but it's strange that even a month after the trip, I still want to go again.
I guess that's why I was so fascinated by this scenery.
Since I was the driver, the photo was taken from the observation deck of the restaurant Umiki just after entering Ikema Island.
By the way, unfortunately I didn't eat at Umiki, so I'm posting about Ikema Ohashi.
Umiku can go up to the observation deck without eating.
I upload photos, but no matter how advanced the camera performance is, the impression you get when you see it with the naked eye is a far cry from that.
As expected, it's different from the sea view seen from Awaji Island (lol)

宮古島と池間島を結ぶこの橋から見る海は宮古島周辺で1番綺麗だと思いました。
伊良部大橋でもテンション上がる景色でしたが、ここのはちょっと感動ものです。
普段旅行に行かない自分が最初で最後かもしれないと思った友人達との旅行でしたが、旅行から1ヶ月経ってもまた行きたいと思うのは不思議な感じです。

I can’t say because of beauty
Naing Aye — Google review
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.

(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.

Higashi-Hennazaki is a scenic cape extending out of Miyako Island, with views of the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea. The cape has large rocks scattered along its coast, making it an ideal spot for sunrise watching. Near the lighthouse you can buy ice cream and enjoy the view while enjoying a 20' ride from Hirara or biking there in less than an hour.
Climb up to the top of the lighthouse, You will see the good view of Pacific ocean
C Po — Google review
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.
Darsshan Parmar — Google review
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.

One of the best known major beach area in Miyako, rivaling Maehama for beauty. This hits sand beach stretches for 800m wide, from inlet flowing between Irabu and Shimoji islands to the east coast.
Ayaka I — Google review
Beautiful remote beach on Irabu island. You will probably see a lot of crabs on the pier which I enjoyed. Even if the beach is clean and the sand quite white, it’s wet on almost the whole beach which doesn’t make it a good spot if you want to lay on your towel.

1 The water is clear (Good for snorkeling)
2 Waves are a bit strong
3 Sand is soft and smooth
4 It's hard to make something with sand near water (It will collapse)
5 There are six shower booth rooms with curtains (Four minutes for 100¥)
6 You might get some brownish sticky things on your skin or clothes (Only sometimes)
7 It might be hard to get them off
Conclusion
Good for snorkeling and using tube and absolutely beautiful
Bad for building sand castles and getting sticky things (Only sometimes)

Imgya Marine Garden is a serene and preserved aquatic environment that provides an excellent opportunity for novice snorkelers to explore. The park features picturesque trails that lead visitors to a stunning ocean observation deck adorned with a cow statue. Although the location can be somewhat challenging to locate due to two beaches sharing the same name, it offers ample free parking and beautiful views worth capturing on camera.
A beautiful place to stroll for an hour. Enjoy the winding pathways around the bay that lead to a beautiful ocean lookout.
If you have your swimsuit you can hop n the water and enjoy tropical fish. The water is very clear!
Parking is free and the viewpoints are definitely worth a camera stop!
Heather Hernandez — Google review
Awesome and peaceful place to snorkel. If the water is calm, can easily go snorkel outside of the inlet.

Has really nice views but it would be nice if there was a public restroom in the area.
The view from this observation deck is really great! Nice and easy for snorkeling if you don't go so far from the shore. I could see some beautiful fish and coral. I could get here by bus and 15 minutes walk from the center of Miyakojima.

Beautiful, shallow cove. Great for swimming and snorkelling but the beach is coral and rocks so would recommend marine shoes. There are toilets and parking available.
Ogami Island is a sacred land that boasts of stunning mushroom rock formations and butterfly swarms. It has experienced a decline in population, but the sea shells scattered under a rock suggest it was once inhabited by locals who consumed them. Hermit crabs might have also used the place to trade shells as they grew larger. To explore the island's beauty, visitors can climb up to its peak observation deck where they will behold an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of the entire area.
An island that has declined in population, but by the looks of it, the butterflies have multiplied in multitude beyond anything I have ever seen. If you walk up to the observation deck, you will be rewarded with a 360 degree panorama of the small island. Coming back down, take a right hand turn to where you will find a rock, with million sea shells littered below it. Whether they are the left overs of years of locals eating sea shells or the work of Hermit crabs, which use the place to trade shells as they get to big for their old ones.
I also spotted a very large coconut crab in one of the trees, resting or waiting for something.
A very beautiful place.

(Translated by Google) On the sacred island, snorkel, I saw a lot of cute and beautiful tropical fish.
There is a Puyu restaurant on the island at the fishing port where you can eat.
There are also public toilets and rest areas on the island square.
It's a small island, but as the name suggests, it feels like an island of God.
I think it's more fun when it's time to put it in the sea.

(Translated by Google) There are suspicious rumors such as tatari and legends, but it is a small remote island full of ordinary nature in Okinawa.
I think that the traditional festivals and customs are rumored because they look like something of a different world when viewed from other areas.
Those who have had a mysterious or scary experience on this island may have had some sort of self-suggestion.
Those who believe in ghosts, unidentified creatures, aliens, and psychic powers, but I wonder if this kind of rumor in Okinawa and Amami creates surprises and awe of different cultures.
By the way, Ogami Island is currently in danger of survival with 15 households and a population of about 30 people.

A 15 minute boat trip! If the cobalt blue color is beautiful and you're good at exercising, you might even meet a turtle!
The island, which has a population of about 10 people, seems to be a quiet place for the gods, and I felt the solemn wind and light! It was quiet, the fish were swimming leisurely, and it was a relaxing time. Yuri, the symbol dog of the island, is also very gentle and friendly! It feels so sacred that it cannot be described in words as a power spot! Thank you for allowing me to ask this question!

(Translated by Google) One of the islands of the Miyako Islands. It is the only inhabited island that is not connected to Miyakojima by a bridge, and the only means of transportation is by boat.
The island itself is worshiped as a god, and it is taboo to take anything, even rocks or shells, without permission (items sold as souvenirs are OK).
In addition, the history of the island is only passed down through oral traditions of the islanders, and the island is home to mysterious customs such as the mysterious ``Uyagan'' festival.
*Entry to the island is prohibited during the secret festival period.
The island is a very beautiful island surrounded by coral reefs, and on the outer periphery there is a strange rock called "Notch" whose lower part has been eroded by waves, and a group of huge rocks called "Kamikakis" which are naturally arranged in a semicircle. The sight it creates is worth seeing.
When you arrive at the island, you will be greeted by a friendly and famous dog.
They welcome you by wagging their tails and pressing their heads against your legs.
Please note that there are places that are cherished by the islanders, places where photography is prohibited, and things that you should not do (such as blindly climbing rocks), so it is better to visit with "respect" for the gods and the islanders. think.
Information is as of January 2023

宮古列島の島の一つ。人の住む島では唯一宮古島と橋で繋がっておらず、交通手段は船のみです。
島自体が神様として崇められており、岩や貝のひとつに至るまで勝手な持ち出しはタブーです(お土産で売られているものなどはOK)。
また、島の歴史も島民の口伝でしか伝えられず、謎の多い秘祭「ウヤガン」など神秘的な習慣のある島です。
※秘祭の期間中は島には立ち入り不可。
島は珊瑚礁に囲まれたとても美しい島で、外周には下部が波により侵食された奇岩「ノッチ」や、自然と半円状に並んだ巨岩群「カミカキス」など、美しい珊瑚の海と奇岩の成す光景は一見の価値アリです。
島に着くと人懐っこい名物犬がお出迎え。
尻尾を振って脚に頭を押し付けて歓迎してくれます。
なお、島民の方が大切にされている場所や撮影禁止の場所、やってはいけない事(やみくもに岩に登る)等ありますので、あくまで神様と島民の方々に「敬意」を前提として巡った方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) As its name suggests, it is a mysterious island where the custom that only those who are not from this island are allowed to live there still remains.
There are times when non-islanders are not allowed to enter, so if you are planning to go, it is best to check with Puyu Shokudo in advance.
It is a small island that takes less than an hour to go around, but the view from the observation deck was amazing.
I stayed at Opuyu Shokudo for one night, and after the tourists were gone, I could hear the sounds of nature on the island, and I could see all the way to the bottom of the rock, which was carved by the waves, and it was different from daytime. I was fascinated by the completely different atmosphere.
The island is aging and will eventually run out of residents, so if you are interested, we recommend visiting as soon as possible.

この島の出身者以外は居住できないというしきたりが今でも残る、その名の通りの神秘的な島です。
島民以外は入れない時期があるので、行かれる方は事前におぷゆう食堂さんに確認されるのがベターです。

おぷゆう食堂さんに一泊させていただいたのですが、観光客がいなくなった後の島は自然の音が聞こえてくるばかりかつ根元が波で削られた岩が底まで見えて、昼間とは全く違った雰囲気に魅了されました。
高齢化が進んでいずれは住民がいなくなってしまうであろう島なので、興味がある方は早目に訪れることをお勧めします。

Beautiful beach with easy, shallow entry, clear water, beautiful colors. We spent two day. Here and hav the best of fun. You can swim few hundred meters to man made rest place, you can snorkel and see turtles and many fishes. Just gorgeous
Blanka Kobayashi — Google review
A beautiful white sand beach and lagoon with calm and shallow water. Coral reefs are very lively and beautiful, you can see many kinds of tropical fish and sea creatures including clown fish, sea urchin, see snake, angelfish, lagoon triggerfish, etc. The water is not as clear as other crystal clear beaches in Miyako, but it’s clear enough to see the sea creatures. It’s worth visiting as you can enjoy schools of beautiful fish in tranquil bay. Many snorkeling tours start from this beach. My 5yo and 4yo enjoyed snorkeling here too. You might be able to see sea turtles too (according to the hotel concierge there are 3 to 4 turtles around in the bay) .
You can rent snorkel gears at the beach house. Otherwise make sure to bring your own snorkel and safety systems including life jacket and reef shoes.
Be aware of the tide conditions and timings, when I visit there in July I was told by the hotel concierge that you need to snorkel in the morning not the afternoon.
Conveniently located for those who stay at the Shigira Beach Resort. Those who come by car need to pay parking fee.
Ayaka I — Google review
Best beach for snorkeling -just make sure you enter the water not right in front of sun beds but at the place where snorkeling tours enter. There is a snorkeling gear rental shop and a canteen close to it, as well as showers and lockers. 2or 3 sea turtles live here, so there is a high chance of meeting them. Lots of coral, but make sure you come either early in the morning or after 3 pm coz 1pm is a very low tide. The water can be very clean or not so much depending on the weather.
Sveta Koko — Google review
One of best snorkeling spots. Be aware of one fish species which is aggressive and might threaten you. They will probably not bite or hurt you. Usualy those fishes swim in pair following you from behind or just under you. They might follow you up to hundred meters, atack from behind and catch on your fins. Especially if your fins are other than black color. Size of the fish is about 30 to 50 cm.

Beautiful white sand beach with shallow water. Unfortunately there was a resort under remodeling next to it. Kinda killed the vibe. Other than that, it’s perfect.
Kyle Xiao — Google review
Being in town for a few days, I chose this beach over more famous ones like Aragusuku because it was easier to access by bus. My first impression wasn’t great as the weather was drizzly, it was empty and looked narrow from the beach itself. However this is a great place for snorkeling! The area is HUGE compared to my experience with beaches in the Keramas, and there’s tons of coral and numerous fish. Signs warned of aggressive triggerfish which I believe I saw, but they didn’t give me any trouble. The rentals are a bit expensive, about double what you would pay at most public beaches, but I suppose you could consider it a fee for using the resort’s beach.

Either stay at the hotels near by or drive to the beach to enjoy a afternoon. It can rent snorkeling equipment, snorkeling & diving tours. Chair w/ umbrella or cabana also available for rent as well. Not crowded at the time I visit (early Nov). Remember to wear snorkeling shoes as the sea bed is hard to walk without some protection
The Kurima Ohashi bridge connects Kurima Island to Miyako Island and offers beautiful ocean views. The bridge is open to motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians and can be crossed by all three.

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.

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。
Ikema Island is a small island located north of Miyako Island with a designated wildlife refuge and many birdwatching opportunities. The island is also known for its emerald-green ocean and public parking close to the bridge that connects the two islands.
(Translated by Google) There are many delicious restaurants on this island and the scenery is spectacular. Miyakojima has many bridges, and this island is my favorite! There are so many delicious cafes and shops with great views!

この島には美味しいお店がたくさんあり景色も最高です。宮古島は大橋がいくつもあり、その中でもここの島が好き!美味しいカフェ、景色の良いお店がたくさんだから!

(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.

(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.

Really nice airport with island/tropical atmosphere. Nice cafes inside and outside security.

A modern, stylish and cosy airport for one or two aircrafts. There are many charging points at the domestic area while the international area has nothing. Airport bus fits with arrival schedules only, and so long queues at car rentals!

Wandering Woody — Google review
A beautiful facility and calm atmosphere. Extra quiet due to current virus situation but our travel experience was excellent. The rental car facilities are super close to baggage claim. Limited English spoken around but everyone was helpful and friendly.
Toriike Pond is a natural sinkhole formed by limestone erosion and features a tunnel leading to the sea, making it a popular spot for divers. The site offers a picturesque and secluded location with well-maintained walking decks that bring visitors right up to the edge of two large sinkholes filled with beautiful blue water. The terrain is rugged, similar to cenotes in Mexico, but offering its own unique charm.
お手洗いがきれいでした。
個室の数も結構有りました。
少し暗めです。
奥に森みたいなのがあり、ネズミがたくさんいますが…足にぶつかってくる当たり屋がいるのでご注意ください…
森の方は電気もないので、もしあれば懐中電灯あるほうが便利だと思います。
その先にある景色はとても良かったです!
夕方17endの帰りにお手洗い行きたくて寄りましたが、本当に行ってよかったです。
また見たいと思うくらい綺麗でした。
(Translated by Google)
The restrooms were clean.
There were also quite a number of private rooms.
It's a little dark.
There is a forest-like area in the back, and there are a lot of mice...but be careful, there are some hitters that will hit your feet...
There is no electricity in the forest, so I think it would be more convenient to have a flashlight if you have one.
The scenery ahead was very nice!
I stopped by to go to the restroom on my way home from 17th in the evening, and I'm really glad I went.
It was so beautiful that I wanted to see it again.

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)

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)
???? — Google review
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!

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。

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.

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

(Translated by Google) The only farm on Miyakojima that offers all-you-can-eat mangoes!

It's only available in July, so come check it out! ! ! !
