#OkinawaTourism This is Hateruma Island, the southernmost island in Japan. The Hateruma blue sea was very beautiful. I was able to see sea turtles and fish. It was my first time to see such a beautiful sea, and it was very refreshing. The view from the cliffs at the southernmost point was spectacular, and exploring the island on a rental bicycle was also great! The boats sometimes don't depart depending on the weather, so I was very lucky to be able to go.

Hateruma Port is the only gateway to Hateruma Island, the southernmost inhabited island in Japan. Hateruma Island also has an airport, but it is not in use, so the only way to get to Hateruma Island is by boat. For this reason, both goods and people are delivered to Hateruma Port by boat. The white-based hulls of the ships stand out against the milky blue sea, which overturns the impression of the port, and it is very beautiful. 📍Port of Hateruma Island, Okinawa Prefecture #Okinawa #Hateruma Island #Remote Island Trip #Seaside Scenery #Supporting Tourism #Supporting Tourism #Breathtaking Scenery

Hateruma Island, the southernmost inhabited island in Japan It is an island that can be reached in about 60 to 100 minutes by ferry or large high-speed boat from Ishigaki Island. It is said that the island was named Hateruma because it means "Uruma at the end of the line." Uruma means coral. The coral reefs spread around Hateruma Island, and the contrast of the sea is very beautiful. Hateruma Island has Hateruma Port, and since there are no airplanes, Hateruma Port is the only gateway to the island. With the opening of "Paijima 2" in this photo, the Hateruma route, which used to have many cancellations in the winter, has become an easy place to visit with fewer cancellations. #Remote Island Trip #Remote Island #Okinawa #Okinawa Sea #Hateruma Island #Hateruma Port #Southernmost #Port #Remote Island Tour #Trip to Visit Remote Islands #Supporting Tourism #Breathtaking Views

Hateruma Island is the southernmost inhabited island in Japan. It is a small island that belongs to the Yaeyama Islands, and you can cycle around it.

Parlor Minpika is located near Nishihama Beach, a spectacular view of Hateruma Island. Their fluffy shaved ice is very popular, and the "Kuromitsu Special" is a perfect combination of black honey, kinako, and condensed milk. The shaved ice is perfect after a sweat, and it's fluffy, has a nice texture, and is really delicious. When we went, it wasn't that crowded, but the shop itself isn't very big, so it may get crowded during cafe time. 📍 Address: Hateruma, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture 🕒 Business hours: 14:30-17:00 (closed in case of rain, and may be closed temporarily)  Why not refresh yourself with some cold shaved ice while looking out at Nishihama Beach?

📍 Hateruma Island Hateruma Island Monument The cliffs of Takanazaki, located at the southernmost tip of Hateruma Island, are located at 123 degrees 47 minutes 12 seconds east and 24 degrees 02 minutes 24 seconds north, and are a popular spot for tourists to take commemorative photos. The monument was actually built in 1970 by a student who was visiting the island on a trip and paid for it with the money he earned from his part-time job. The handwritten letters, which have a handmade feel, are very tasteful. The inscription reads, "This monument was built here on Hateruma Island, when young people from all over the country brought stones from all over the country and poured their souls into it, when Okinawa was returned to its homeland. We pray that each and every stone will become the foundation of our country and mark a new beginning for Okinawa," and the entwined snake-like shape expresses the wish that Okinawa will never again be separated from the mainland by war. #0yentravelJanuary2025

#0yentravelJanuary2025 We went there around Tanabata in July 🎋 The ferry from Ishigaki was very shaky and I got quite seasick, so if you get seasick easily, you need to take medicine! Also, boarding was smooth if you bought the ticket online. It seems that it is easily affected by the weather and is often canceled, so you should make sure you have plenty of time for your schedule and keep an eye on the weather forecast! If you go to Okinawa, this is a place you should definitely visit! When I was swimming on the beach, there were sea turtles swimming all over the place (especially in the morning, they say). The starry sky was so beautiful I couldn't believe my eyes 🤩 How to get there: Ferry from Ishigaki Island ⛴️ Tourist attractions: Rent a bicycle and go to the beach Hotel: There is only one hotel on the island. We went to the guesthouse "Yadokari" Meals & Restaurants: Ayafu Fam was delicious. There was also an izakaya near the beach. There are only shops, so I brought cup noodles in advance! Shopping: There are a few shops and souvenirs at the boat landing. #Okinawa

Hateruma Island, the story of young Kindaichi has related themes. Previously, there were domestic flights to get there, but now the only way to get there is by boat from Ishigaki Island, which takes about sixty to ninety minutes. The rate of missed flights is high in winter, so please plan your travel plans carefully. After you get ashore, all kinds of homestays and car rental companies will come out to greet you, it's super lively. The most convenient way to rent a car is to rent a motorcycle. It takes about fifteen minutes to ride from the central settlement of the island to the stone tablet. Park outside and then go into the square. The square is not big. You can take pictures in ten minutes and leave.
