[Okinawa Driving Course] Enjoy the beautiful ocean of Miyakojima! A trip around scenic spots!

Among airports in Okinawa Prefecture, Miyako Airport is well-known for its Southern Island atmosphere both inside and out.
Start your trip at one of the rental car offices near Miyakojima Airport. The airport is located in the center of Miyakojima, so it's convenient for driving in any direction.

This is a viewing area with an exhilarating view from a high cliff. You can enjoy a magnificent view of the coral reef as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, you can see Ogami Island in the distance.

It is also famous as a national scenic spot, and you can enter the white lighthouse at the end of the cape. You can enjoy the spectacular view of the coral reefs and ocean as far as the eye can see.
Spring (from around April onwards) is also a recommended time to visit, when trumpet lilies bloom all over the cliffs and across the ground.

The most popular dish is the soki soba, a pork bone soup with garlic. Large chunks of tenderly stewed soki meat (pork spare ribs) are placed on top of the noodles, making this Okinawa soba very satisfying.

It is a 1,690-meter-long bridge that connects Miyako Island and Kurima Island. It is gently arched and the view from the island is spectacular. The bridge is 1,690 meters long and stretches straight to Kurima Island.

The observation deck has an exterior modeled after Ryugu-jo Castle. Not only can you see Kurima Island, but you can also see the surrounding beaches and the Kurima Bridge that you crossed, as Miyako Island is opposite. This is the first place you should head to when you visit Kurima Island.

Not only is the Kurima Bridge a great place to see from above, but the view from the beach is also spectacular. Returning to the Miyako Island side, Yonaha Maehama Beach is so popular that it has been chosen as one of the best beaches in Japan. The swimming season is from April to the end of October.
