Q. Which islands do you recommend for visitors with children?
For those with children, an island with calm waves and good facilities is recommended. Tumai Beach on Tsuken Island faces the inland sea of Nakagusuku Bay, where the waves are quiet and lifeguards are posted so that even small children can enjoy the beach safely. Okutake Island and Hamahika Island, which can be reached by car, are also popular among families as they are less difficult to get to. Tokashiki Island and Zamami Island offer a variety of snorkeling tours, and are recommended for families with children of elementary school age and older.
Q. Which islands can I visit on a day trip?
There are many remote islands that can be enjoyed as day trips. Kouri Island, Sesoko Island, Okutake Island, and Hamahiga Island are all accessible by car, and Kutaka Island, Mizuna Island, Tsuken Island, and Tokashiki Island are also commonly accessible by ferry for day trips. However, islands with few ferry services (such as Aguni Island, Izena Island, and Iheya Island) are recommended to stay overnight, as the time spent on these islands on a day trip will be very short.
Q. Should I choose a manned or uninhabited island?
The choice depends on your purpose. Crowded islands are well-equipped with accommodations, restaurants, and rental stores, and are suitable for those who want to stay longer or for first-time travelers to a remote island. On the other hand, uninhabited islands offer a more natural environment and the experience of having the beach all to yourself. However, most uninhabited islands do not have restrooms or stores, so tours are the norm. We recommend that first-timers visit a manned island, and after becoming accustomed to the island, try a tour of a deserted island.
Q. What is the Kerama Islands Environmental Protection Cooperation Fund?
Tokashiki Village and Zamami Village in the Kerama Islands have introduced an "environmental cooperation tax" for the purpose of preserving the natural environment of the islands and maintaining tourist facilities. Tokashiki Village has been charging 100 yen per entry to the islands since 2011, and Zamami Village has been charging 100 yen per entry to the islands as a "Churashima Tax. The tax is automatically included in the ferry fare, so no special procedures are required. The money is used to preserve the beautiful Keramas Blue Sea for future generations, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
