Taketomi Island Buffalo Carriage Tour {Taketomi Island Tourist Center}

We rode a buffalo cart on Taketomi Island! It takes 15 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Island's remote island terminal! When you arrive at Taketomi Island, the company that operates the buffalo cart will come to pick you up! (No reservation required) We split into groups with and without reservations and boarded the bus and took the bus to the shop. We checked in inside the building and waited until we were called! The buffalo cart took about 20 minutes! The buffalo walked slowly and steadily through the center of Taketomi Island. The buffalo we rode this time seemed to really like the shade When he found some shade, he went in high and fast and didn't move for a while😂😂😂 The guide who was guiding us played the sanshin and told us about Taketomi Island, so it was a lot of fun! We ended the day by taking a photo. You can get one small photo for your group. I think it was about 1500 yen if you buy one. If you go to Taketomi Island, be sure to do it! (It seems like there are two companies that run buffalo rides on Taketomi Island, but on the day I went, Nitta Kanko was closed and not available, so I rode a buffalo at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center 🙌🏻) #Western Japan #Okinawa Trip #Remote Island Trip #Ishigaki Island Trip #Ishigaki Island Tourism #Taketomi Island Tourism #Taketomi Island Trip #Buffalo Carriage
