Okinawa and the Southwest Islands involve one of Japan's really little privileged insights – a side of Japan that varies from the territory in society and pace. They take somewhat more time and push to get to, however the prizes for arriving are exquisite semi-tropical, white-sand shorelines and clear turquoise water; frequently on modest, country islands that develop fields and fields of sugarcane. 

In the event that you've come similarly as Okinawa-hontō (Okinawa Prefecture's principle island), you're simply a day trip far from uninhabited islands. On the off chance that you have more opportunity to save, Naha (the prefectural capital) is the hopping off point for the island chain's further-flung destinations. Here are a percentage of the district's mystery shorelines. 

Gahi-jima & Agenashiku-jima

Gahi-jima, Okinawa


Part of the Kerama island amass, this pair 

of uninhabited islets off of Zamami-jima will understand your castaway-for-a-day dream. Bring an excursion of onigiri (rice balls) and frosted green tea rummaged from Naha's accommodation stores, and a sun cap, as there are no offices and little shade. 

Arriving: you can without much of a stretch visit these little islets on a day trip from Naha. Zamami Sonei runs a few quick ships a day (¥3140, 50 minutes) and one customary ship (¥2120, two hours) to/from Naha's Tomari Port. The visitor data office at the Zamami port can mastermind vessel trips (¥1500 per individual round-excursion). 

Kume-jima


Tatami Ishi Rock

Looking further west, Kume-jima lies around 90km from Naha, which is sufficiently far to mean less guests than the simple Keramas. Kume-jima has the sort of retro advance that infests a hefty portion of these islands, and there isn't much to do here other than investigate the wonderful shorelines and plunge or snorkel the bright reefs. 

Beside its caverns, rock arrangements and shorelines, Kume has a few quite unique shorelines. Its most acclaimed is the seaward Hatenohama, a squiggle of a sandbar that you can visit on day trips masterminded through administrators such as Hatenohama Kankō Service, which offers three-hour visits for ¥4500 per individual. 

Geography buffs will need to take off to the island of Ōjima, associated with Kume-jima's east drift by a thoroughfare. At low tide, you'll locate the charming geometrically molded rock developments known as Tatami Ishi, said to look like tatami (woven straw mats). 

Arriving: Kume-jima has settlement from outdoors to resort-style lodgings and can be gotten to by one of two every day ships on Kume Line (¥6450 round-excursion, 3.5 to 4 hours), or one of a few day by day flights.
