A spectacular driving spot on Kumejima: "Hiyajo Banta" 🌊🚗

#EnjoyJapan #Okinawa While driving around Kumejima, we stopped off at "Hiyajo Banta"! "Banta" means "cliff" in Okinawa dialect! The ocean view from the cliffs at an altitude of about 200m is truly spectacular, and on a clear day you can see "Hatenohama" and distant islands. The majesty of nature is simply moving...! The wind is strong, so be careful not to let your hat blow away. A must-visit spot when you come to Kumejima!

It’s about 200 meters high and offers an incredible panoramic view of the ocean. On clear days, you can even see Hatenohama and other remote islands. The scenery took my breath away—it’s a must-visit spot if you’re on the island. Just be careful with strong winds!
