Curated by a Local: With years of personal experience exploring the Ryukyu Islands, my Japanese husband and I have uncovered the hidden gems and quiet shorelines that make Miyakojima truly magical.
 
Miyakojima is a tropical paradise unlike anywhere else in Japan, and I’ve designed this guide to help you. While the island is easy to navigate, its good to know where to begin.
 
In this guide, I’ve put together a handpicked selection of the best locations to swim or snorkel in the famous "Miyako Blue" waters. I’ve focused on:
Finding Seclusion: My favorite quiet beaches and lookout points 
Authentic Flavors: Local dining recommendations that offer a true taste of the island.
Underwater Magic: The best entry points for snorkeling in crystal-clear coral reefs.
