- Ishigaki Island:For those who want to enjoy "touring the outlying islands". It is an excellent "base" from which you can easily go to Taketomi Island (15 minutes) and Iriomote Island by high-speed boat. The town is well developed and there are many restaurants and stores.
- Miyako Island:For those who prioritize the beauty of the beach. The clarity of the sea, called "Miyako blue," is the best in Japan. It is attractive to be able to drive to the surrounding islands (Irabu Island, etc.) connected by bridges.
- Required:Miyako Island, Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, and Kume Island. Since the spots are scattered throughout the islands, travel is very limited without a car.
- Not required (bicycles and walking are allowed):Taketomi Island, Aka Island, and Mizuna Island. Since they are small islands, most visitors take their time getting around by renting bicycles, picking up and dropping off visitors at their lodgings, or on foot.
- Caution on slopes:Tokashiki Island and Zamami Island are very rugged, so the use of electric bicycles, motorcycles, or village buses is a prerequisite.
- Dates:It is safest to return to the main island (e.g., Naha) on the last day, avoiding overnight stays on remote islands.
- Selection of flights:Since decisions on flight cancellations are often made in the morning, it is advisable for day-trippers to book a flight one day before the last flight to make it easier to respond in case of an emergency.
- Reserve:Bring extra daily medications and contact lenses for one or two days.
- Clothing in the settlement:It is bad manners to walk around the village in a bathing suit or with no top on. Be sure to wear a jacket.
- Garbage:Garbage disposal capacity on remote islands is limited. Basically, the rule is "bring your garbage back to Naha (the main island).
- Utaki:There are many sacred areas (Utaki) on the island. Please do not enter areas with no-entry signs.
