Taketomi Island, Japan
English subs available!
Taketomi Island (竹富島 Taketomi-jima, Yaeyama: Teedun Okinawan: Dakidun) is an island in the Yaeyama District of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Taketomi is one of the Yaeyama Islands. The population of Taketomi Island was 323 as of January 2012.
Taketomi Island is located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of Ishigaki Island. The island has a village in the center, also named Taketomi. The island covers 5.42 square kilometres (2.09 sq mi), and runs 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) east to west and 3.4 kilometres (2.1 mi) north to south.[3] Taketomi is a raised coral atoll. The island is circular in shape, and is surrounded by coral reefs. Taketomi Island is part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, established in 1972.
Taketomi is known for its traditional Okinawan houses, stone walls, and sandy streets, making it popular with tourists. Various rules are in place to prevent the more aesthetically displeasing aspects of modern construction from ruining the beauty of the island, such as replacing hand-packed stone with concrete walls. Popular tourist activities include relaxing at the beach, snorkeling, taking an ox-cart ride through the village, and simply walking or biking around the island while enjoying the quaintness of the village and the natural scenery.
It is recognized by academics that Taketomi's traditional landscape is a modern product. Today Taketomi's houses are known for visually appealing red-tiled roofs. However, commoners were prohibited from building houses with roof tiles by Ryūkyū on Okinawa until its abolishment. The red-roofed house first appeared on Taketomi Island in 1905 and remained a symbol of wealth for decades. As late as in 1964, truly traditional thatched houses accounted for 40% of Taketomi's houses. Red-tiled roofs spread in parallel with the conservation movement.
Taketomi Island is accessible by a ten-minute boat ride from Ishigaki Island. All areas of the island are within walking distance. There are also various places to rent bicycles in the village.

Then headded over to the Hoshizuna Beach where there is star-shaped sand. Next we took a bus to ride the ox cart that took us around the small town and last we went to Kihouin Museum. We headed over to the port again and then flew back to Naha back to our hotel.

Japan Trip 2017 Part 1 Taketomijima/念願の水牛乗車体験
We flew from Tokyo to Ishigaki Island, which is part of the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. From there, it was just a 20 minute ferry ride over to Taketomi Island. We spent a great day there travelling on the water buffalo taxi, paddling in the clear sea water, cruising around the island on our rental bicycles and taking in the views from the lookout point. We would highly recommend visiting there if you ever head down to the Okinawan area.

HIRATA TOURISM ーYaeyama Ishigaki Inspirational Travel
YAEYAMA :
The Yaeyama islands are both the most southerly, and the most westerly, inhabited islands of Japan. Once part of the Ryukyu Kingdom centered on Okinawa, the islands have retained their distinctive culture and relaxed way of life. The most striking feature of these charming coral islands is their amazing variety. They are all simply bursting with natural beauty: from jungles and magnificent waterfalls to amazing coral displays; from beautiful empty white sand or star sand beaches to stalactite caverns; and from manta rays, sea turtles and a rainbow of subtropical fish to the eagles circling over Ishigaki. Each island is unique, all of them are unforgettable.
HIRATA :
Hirata Tourism Inc. is one the oldest tourism agencies in Ishigaki. We are specialists on the Yaeyama Islands, and have developed a number of regular tours and activity based events for guests to the islands. We can also provide you with a tailored program for part, or all, of your stay, with English speaking guides. Please contact us for more information and to learn more about these beautiful islands, and how you can best enjoy them.

Lâu Đài Shuri Okinawa Nhật Bản首里沖縄japan, okinawa
Lâu đài Shuri là một trong những tàn dư của Vương quốc Ryukyu - vương triều phát triển mạnh trong 450 năm từ năm 1429 đến năm 1879, nơi đây được coi là một biểu tượng văn hoá, lịch sử của vương quốc này. Năm 2000, nó được đăng ký thành di sản thế giới với tên gọi Gusuku của Vương quốc Ryukyu và nhóm di sản liên quan. Lâu đài tọa lạc trên vùng đất cao nên có thể từ đây nhìn xuống phía dưới thị trấn Naha vì thế đây được coi như là một nơi thiêng liêng...

Visiting Ishigaki, Okinawa Prefecture, Island in Japan
Ishigaki (石垣島 Ishigaki-jima?, Yaeyama and Okinawan: Ishigachi), also known as Ishigakijima, is a Japanese island west of Okinawa Hontō and the second-largest island of the Yaeyama Island group. It is within the City of Ishigaki in Okinawa Prefecture. The city functions as the business and transport center of the archipelago. The island is served by New Ishigaki Airport, the largest airport in the Yaeyamas.
Much of the island and surrounding waters including Mount Omoto and Kabira Bay are protected as part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park.[1]
Ishigaki Island, like the rest of Okinawa, is culturally influenced by both Japan and Taiwan due to its location, about 300 km off the north eastern coast of Taiwan .
A tsunami of record height hit Ishigaki Island in 1771. For more info, visit this link:

YAEYAMA ISLANDS
A week in the Yaeyama Islands.
This trip has truly taken my breath away, being from Hong Kong I have always grown up surrounded by buildings and cluttered space. I never really had a chance to be close to nature and actually take in its beauty. It was truly fascinating to wake up every morning next to the ocean with the sea breeze blowing across the balcony or being one with the marine animals while snorkeling. It does make me think how much I am missing out on this world and the fact that I'm stuck in a busy life of a student makes me constantly forget what's around me.
