[Hateruma Island, Okinawa Prefecture] This is the southernmost point of Japan🚩

Hateruma Island is the southernmost point of Okinawa, and the southernmost inhabited island belonging to Japan📍 I had planned to travel there together with Yonaguni Island in 2016, but an approaching typhoon caused rough seas and I ended up not being able to go😢 3 years later, I tried again and finally landed! Island trips sometimes don't go as planned, but this is especially true for Hateruma Island, where boats are often canceled💦 The Peace Monument is so prominent that it's easy to overlook it, but the Southernmost Point of Japan Monument is located a short walk toward the sea☝️ The background is completely different when taking photos from the east and west, so it seems to have a more Hateruma-like feel🤔 The coastline is rough and difficult to walk on, so please be careful not to go there in sandals⚠️ Visited: August 2019 #Domestic travel #Okinawa #Okinawa trip #Okinawa tourism #Yaeyama Islands #Taketomi Town #Hateruma Island #Remote island #Island trip #Southernmost point of Japan #Monument of southernmost point of Japan
