snorkeling in Nishihama Beach, Hateruma Island |
- This island is the southernmost part of Japan. It is said that Nishihama
is the best beach within Yaeyama islands, southwest of Okinawa prefecture.
For exploring the island, you can rent a motorbike or bicycle by merchants
who are waiting the port. Among them I recommend Kumanomi because it is near Nishihama beach and Hateruma port.

water buffalo taxi ride through the village in the island |
- This island is very popular with day-trippers from Ishigaki, as its magnificent
beaches virtually surround the island. Ferries between Ishigaki and Taketomi
run frequently during the daytime. They are operated by Yaeyama Ferry, Anei Tours and Ishigaki Dream Tours.
