It's about a 30-minute ferry ride from Ishigaki Island. The best way to spend time here is to relax. But there's also plenty to see, including Iko Pier, which stretches straight out into the sea, Puzumari, an old observation deck, the (white) Kuroshima Lighthouse, and the (mostly black) cows (?). #OkinawaTrip

Heartland Cafe is located right in front of Kuroshima Port. You will be greeted by two cute sister cats. They are very friendly and get along well. They sometimes sit next to you or even on the table. It was a wonderful island time while looking out at the sea. #HeartlandCafe #Cafe #RemoteIslandTrip #Kuroshima #Cat #Okinawa

Kuroshima is famous as an island of cows, but it is also home to a considerable number of cats. Many of the cowsheds have cat guards stationed to prevent rats from gnawing at the wiring or eating the cat food and scattering it around. There are also some Western-style cats among the cats, which are quite fun to watch. You can also encounter goats. This is a great island for animal lovers. #Okinawa #Kuroshima #Remote Island Travel #Cats #Cows #Goats

Last time, I had a hard time seeing the calves. This time, I was able to see a lot of them. They were clinging closely to their mothers and were really cute. Kuroshima is a must-see for ranch lovers. Please come to Kuroshima, an island with more cows than people!! #Kuroshima #Yaeyama #Okinawa #Remote Island Trip #Ishigaki Island #Remote Island #Ranch #Cow #Water Buffalo

Iko Pier is said to be beautiful at high tide, but it may be difficult to go there at high tide if you are going on a day trip. At low tide, the shallows continue all the way to the back, and you can walk to the other side of the bridge. At low tide, many creatures come out, so low tide stimulates the sense of adventure. This time, I looked into the gaps between the many rocks and was able to encounter hermit crabs, sea cucumbers, and crabs. There are ways to enjoy it at different times, so if you visit Kuroshima, I recommend renting a bicycle. #Remote Island Trip #Kuroshima #Yaeyama #Seaside Scenery #Ishigaki Island #Iko Pier #Amazing Views #Amazing Views

When I see a straight, flat road, I can't help but want to take a photo. Kuroshima is a place where you can easily go out for a day trip by renting a bicycle. There are bicycle and motorbike rental shops at the port, so you can rest assured. The road from the port to Nishinohama to the Kuroshima Research Center is unpaved and bumpy, but that's also part of its charm. #RemoteIslandTrip #Kuroshima #Yaeyama #Okinawa #Road #Ishigaki #Road #BreathtakingView

A recommended lodging on Kuroshima, also known as Minkuro. A young couple and their three children will greet you cheerfully. There are goats next to the lodging, and banana and papaya trees in the garden, giving it a tropical feel. There is also a spacious rooftop, and at night you can enjoy a beautiful starry sky while swaying in a hammock. One night stay with two meals is 6,500 yen. If you are going to Ishigakijima, be sure to visit Kuroshima as well. #RemoteIslandTrip #Kuroshima #Okinawa #Hammock #Ishigakijima #Yaeyama

I went to a small aquarium and museum at the southernmost tip of Japan. There is an exhibition room to communicate the results of research to the public, and they keep and display coral specimens, folk tools, and the animals of Kuroshima, including sea turtles. Kuroshima is hot in midsummer, so one way to spend time here is to take a break and relax. Although it is a small space, you can feed the turtles and sharks, so I ended up staying for a while. There was also rare coral on display. #RemoteIslandTrip #Kuroshima #SeaTurtles #Okinawa #Coral

From Ishigaki Island to Kuroshima. As you get closer to Kuroshima, you can see that the color of the sea becomes even more beautiful. Looking into the sea at Kuroshima Port, you can see many small blue fish swimming. Even at the port, Kuroshima is overflowing with transparency. This is the true Kuroshima blue. #Kuroshima #Okinawa #Remote Island Trip

Known as the "Cow Island," this island has about 3,000 cows grazing, and its landscape of grasslands is very attractive 🐄 I especially recommend the "Iko Pier" 🌊 The 354m long pier stretches straight out into the sea, and at high tide you feel like you're walking on the sea ✨ At low tide, the tidal flats appear, and you can enjoy a different view! You can also enjoy snorkeling and diving at Nakamoto Beach, where you can encounter tropical fish and coral 🐠 The island itself is not large, so you can get around by bicycle 🚴♀️ You can enjoy the beauty of nature! I enjoyed the beautiful sea and nature of Kuroshima, and the relaxing island time! #0 yen trip January 2025
