2025 Oshima District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Until 3/31/2025, the Amami-Okinawa Exchange Discount will be applied when traveling to Yoron Island from Okinawa by ferry. Applicable fare: Regular adult fare Applicable section (1): Naha/Motobu ⇆ Yoron/Wadomari Discounted fare (1): 1,420 yen This time, I went to Yoron Island from Motobu Port in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture. It takes about two and a half hours from Motobu Port to Yoron Island. Two ferries, Marix Line and Maruei Ferry, operate alternately every day. Departing Motobu Port at 9:20 → Arriving Yoron Port at 11:50 I took the Maruei Ferry. You make a reservation in advance by phone, and have your boarding ticket issued at the counter on the day. I made a reservation for the cheapest second-class room with a dormitory seat. A very large Maruei Ferry. The ship was equipped with a restaurant, shower room, shop, and observation salon, making for a comfortable voyage. Also, since it was the off-season, the second-class bunk beds were empty, so I was able to sleep comfortably all the way to Yoron Port. Traveling by plane is nice, but traveling by ferry is also fun. You can also get to Yoron Island from Naha Port on the main island of Okinawa. If you have time, why not consider taking a ferry trip?

#MarineSports2024 Do you know Yoron Island, which is said to be more beautiful than the sea in Okinawa? It is a small island located 16 hours by ferry from Kagoshima City and 5 hours by ferry from Okinawa (Naha Port).

This gelato uses no artificial coloring, showcasing the natural colors of the ingredients. With the first bite, the fruit flavor bursts in your mouth before the sweetness. It's no wonder, with 50% fruit juice content. I tried the Tankan Roselle for the first time, and it was delicious. Highly recommended for café visits. ✱----------------------------------------------- Store: Amamin & TropicaAmami Location: 578 Okatsu, Tatsugo Town, Oshima District, Kagoshima Prefecture Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM Closed: Sundays and Mondays Visit Date: July 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱

A small island in Kagoshima Prefecture, located just north of the northernmost tip of Okinawa's main island. Access is by plane or ferry from Okinawa or Kagoshima. From Tokyo, we recommend flying with a transfer in Okinawa. It's a small island that you can circle in the blink of an eye, but it's surrounded by a beautiful ocean called Yoron Blue, and you can see colorful fish and sea turtles by snorkeling. At night, you can enjoy the Milky Way, a star-filled sky that looks like it might fall at any moment, with the naked eye. The warm and simple people on the island are also a big part of the island's charm. People tend to skip Yoron Island and head to Okinawa, but this is a wonderful island that is definitely worth visiting for those who want a different way of spending time than luxuriously constructed resorts. #YoronIsland
