Kabira Bay
I had no particular plans, so I went to Kabira Bay, where there are many buses. (It takes about 40 minutes). It was a little cloudy. I was in a hurry when the bus came while I was saving money at the post office. (I could get on just in time).
Remote Island Terminal
I bought a seal of a ship. This time I took the Yaeyama Kanko Ferry instead of the Yasunaga Kanko ferry that I took when I visited Hateruma Island, so the gofunin is also from the Yaeyama Kanko Ferry. I like it because of its vivid colors.
There is also a Blue Seal store in the terminal. I had the vanilla and red potato mix soft serve ice cream (400 yen). The cone broke and I spilled a little.
Taketomi Island
Entrance fee (300 yen) was implemented. (September 2019~. Optional). Present the proof of payment at the reception of Taketomi Island and you will receive a return gift. This time it was a sticker.
It is a 30-minute walk from the harbor to the village. Renting a bicycle is recommended to get around the island. I tried walking around, but it was too hot and hard. The buildings in the village are beautiful and have an Okinawan feel. The post office is also in line with the surrounding buildings.
There were not many people when I came before, but this time there were many people. There was an extra boat on the return trip because of the large number of people. Also, there were many cats before, but I did not see any this time due to the heat.
Kondoi Beach
There were many people and everyone was bathing. Last time there were many cats here, but this time there was none. Instead, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture was here for a visit.
Kaijihama
10~20 minutes by bicycle from Kondoi Beach. Beach where star sand can be collected. Everyone was collecting it in the hot weather. Tried to go to the village from Kaiji beach, but took the wrong road.
