Morning
I woke up at about 5:00 AM. It was raining and thundering at that time. I stayed at the inn until 9:00 when the rain stopped and did some laundry.
breakfast
White rice, sausage, scrambled eggs, miso soup with eggplant, salad, tsukiage (deep-fried fish paste), and dragon fruit.
The tsukiage was especially delicious.
Yonaguni Post Office
I went there for travel savings and landscape stamps. It is located in the village. The westernmost post office is not here, but the Kubura simple post office.
4.5 tatami mats beach
Narrow beach with graves all around. You probably can't swim because of the strong current. Half of the trash that washed ashore came from China. (I could feel that Taiwan is very close).
Shikinajima Clinic
Location of Dr. Koto. It costs 200 yen per adult to enter the clinic. We did not go inside.
white sandy beach
It is located next to the clinic. The waves are calm, so it is good for swimming. The beach was quite wide.
Handmade Bread & Cafe Panes
The only bakery on the island. In addition to bread, there are also Okinawan soba noodles and desserts. This time I had swordfish bone soup soba and a long life grass smoothie. The soba not only had swordfish in the broth, but also had swordfish meat in it. The Chomeiso smoothie was not a sweet one.
Dannu Beach
This spot is famous for its photo quality. This photo was actually taken from the public restroom building. The toilets no longer seemed to be in use.
Mt. Urabu summit
I thought I might be able to see Taiwan if I went up to the top. The highest point on the island. You can ride a motorcycle to the top of the mountain, and from there it is a one-minute walk to the summit. The entrance to the road to the summit is not easy to find; it is about 100 meters before the NTT relay station. The summit has a beautiful view of the island, but the road to the summit is not well maintained, and you will have to wade through grass most of the way.
Moist Roll Cafe
It is located in the village on the west side. Ask the store staff for parking and they will tell you where to park. If you are on a motorcycle, you can park in front of the store. This time, I had the roll cake set and an iced brown sugar chai drink. There are two kinds of roll cakes, one is a regular flavor and the other is a brown sugar flavor. Both were delicious. I had never had chai before, but it was delicious with a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. There were quite a few customers and it seemed to be a popular store.
battleship rock
A rock with the appearance of a warship. Nothing else in particular.
eastern tip of a cape
Lots of horses and cows. Good views of the surrounding area. Be careful, there are a lot of animals in the parking lot and on the road.

dinner
Summer vegetable soup curry, swordfish carpaccio, white rice, vegetables, and mango jelly.
Carpaccio and mango jelly were especially delicious.
I ordered an additional island banana shake (350 yen). It was sweet, cold and delicious. I wanted to drink several more.
Sono Harbor
Since I returned my motorcycle, I could not go to the westernmost monument to watch the sunset. So we went to Sonai Harbor, which was close to the village and where we could see the sunset. It was a five-minute walk from the village. It was cloudy and we could not see much, but we could see it just before the sunset. I hope it will be clearer next time I come back. Note that there are places on the bank where there are gaps about the thickness of a smartphone.
an extra
There were many cockroaches on the street at night. The average level was 3~4 roaches per minute.
