Miyakojima travel guide

Japan · Top sights · trending spots

Miyakojima gave its name to a particular colour of water — Miyako blue — and Yonaha Maehama, seven kilometres of white sand on the west coast, is the beach people cite as proof.

Bridges free of tolls run out to the neighbouring islands, the longest of them three and a half kilometres to Irabu. The Yabiji reef, the largest in Japan, breaks the surface at the lowest spring tides in March and April.
