Okinoerabu-jima Island, the highest increasing rate, is a coral island with apploximately 200-300 calcareous caves. The most famous cave called Shoryudou(昇竜洞) is kown as the largest scale of flowstone in Japan. Because of this, a lot of people every year come to enjoy exploring the cave. Visiting the island in winter is also being popular because colorful corals, sea turtles and humpback whales live near the island, which fascinates people whose hobby is to dive into the sea!

Nao-jima Island, already known as a mecca of modern art with several galleries, ranks second, because “Setouchi International Art Festival 2016” is held in the island this summer. In addition to the festival. Another reason that makes people interested in the island is that there are a large variety of accommodations, from classic Japanese-style houses to guest houses. It enables people to choose the way they stay in the island.

Aka-shima Island, about 90 minutes by ship from Naha-city, is chosen as the third, for an ideal place to do snorkeling. Especially, Nishi-hama is being popular with beautiful corals and various tropical fishes. You can feel at home and very welcomed as well, and I’m sure you can enjoy closeness with friendly people living in the island. Interestingly, the rate of the utilization of accommodations by couples increases by 145.5%.
I highly recommend that you should make a reservation of hotel once you get interested in those remote islands for a limited number of accommodations.
How is it?
Far from your work, a remote island must be a wonderful place to fully refresh yourself!
