2025 Shimajiri District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Okinawa Prefecture is great for Naha, American Village, Ishigaki Island, and Miyako Island, but if you're going to Okinawa, try to experience the best of the original scenery while keeping your budget low 😃 [Tonaki Island] It takes about 2 hours by ferry from Naha, and you'll arrive at Tonaki Island in no time. It is the smallest municipality in Okinawa Prefecture in terms of population, and you can find sea turtles just by walking around the port, and walking through the village is surrounded by silence, and at night the roads are beautifully lit. [Recommended accommodation] I recommend the "Red Tile Inn Fukugijuku"! You can see the red tile house in the photo. You can stay there! It's already Okinawa, already the original scenery! It's a time when you can feel like you've entered a Ghibli story or something, and you can really relax. For dinner, there is a house where you can eat dinner, so take a walk there. Dinner is not very luxurious, but there is a lot of food and you will be full. Since it is a pristine landscape, you may need insect repellent spray in the summer, but I went in winter and was able to get through it in short sleeves without any precautions. 1 night with 2 meals 9,000 yen (1 person) 1 night with 2 meals 8,000 yen (2 people or more) 1 night with 2 meals 6,500 yen (elementary school students) *Free for children under 4, but if you need meals, there is an additional fee. [Recommended sightseeing spots] ・Okinawa Prefecture's shortest prefectural road It's an incredible 25m long! It's right after you get off the ferry, so be sure to check it out. There is also the island's only traffic light nearby. The traffic light was made not for safety, but for the education of the island's children. The island's children learn here that "if the light is green, cross, if the light is red, wait." ・Footlight Street You see the beautiful night road in the photo! That's it! Village Road No. 1, which runs from the front of the village office to Agarihama, is beautifully lit up at night. This is also the main street of the village, so be sure to take a walk there at night! It's so beautiful🤩 ・Cycling Everything about Tonaki Island is so beautiful that it's fun to cycle around! It takes about an hour to go around once, and there aren't many slopes, so you can see the various seas, find sea turtles, and enjoy the original scenery of Okinawa! 😃 You can rent a bicycle at the tourist information center near the port. 〈Electric assisted bicycle〉 700 yen for 1 hour 2,000 yen for 3 hours 3,000 yen for 5 hours 4,000 yen for 1 day (until 10:00 the next day) ※If you want to go stargazing at night, we recommend renting it for a day✨ ・Stargazing The village where the accommodation is located is also pitch black at night, so you can do stargazing, but if you're going to go, we recommend the road from Agarihama to Angelahama, where the sky is even darker! Or, on islands without convenience stores, you can buy alcohol and snacks at a store during the day, and then walk from the beach to the sea. Enjoy the view and the stars at the same time✨ *The island is dark at night, so it's a good idea to bring a headlamp or flashlight🫨 [Access] Take the Ryukyu Ferry from Tomari Port in Naha! Adult: 2,750 yen one way (5,230 yen round trip) Children: 1,380 yen one way (2,480 yen round trip) *There are only 1-2 ferries a day, so be careful😣 Tonaki Island is a place where you can do nothing but enjoy the beautiful scenery. Please go and check it out~🏝️ #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #TonakiIsland

#okinawatrip The beautiful white sandy beach lasts for a long time. I stayed for about an hour. There were a lot of beautiful blue poisonous jellyfish. The guide taught me not to touch it. Swings and flags for photography are also installed. There is also a portable toilet. There is a lot of overseas garbage drifting, so I would like to bring a garbage bag next time.

It's called a hotel, but is it more of a guesthouse? This is the regular place I stay when I go to Iheya Island. I've only stayed in the detached building, but it has bunk beds, a refrigerator, and a spacious room that is comfortable. The restroom is also nearby. It is always kept clean. The good thing about guesthouses is that the food is good. When you go to remote islands (because there are almost no hotels), you tend to stay at guesthouses. The food here is also voluminous, and they offer a slightly different menu every day. There is also a shop right next to it, so it's convenient.

I went to Zamami Island, which is about 50 minutes away by high-speed boat from the main island of Okinawa🏝️✨ I usually go on a day trip, but this was my first time staying overnight‼ ️ I always book Nakamuraya for snorkeling in Zamami, but this time I booked it for both lodging and a full-fledged tour🌟 I think it's the closest of all the guesthouses, being only a minute's walk from Zamami Port✨ So when I arrived, I walked there!! I booked a guesthouse for 5,500 yen per night and a full-fledged tour from 10:00am to 3:00pm for 18,000 yen including lunch😆👍🏽 On the full-fledged tour, you can enjoy fishing, snorkeling, etc.🏝️ Go fishing in the morning, have lunch, and snorkel in the afternoon! Unlike the shared tour, the full-fledged tour is reserved for one group per day✨ So they will take you to any spots you want to go to🥹 The drone that took the photos can be sent to you at the end‼ ️ This time, we went fishing, so they cooked the fish we caught✨It's so luxurious to eat fish that you caught yourself❤️ Beer and food are included in the tour⭕️ The shower, toilet, and washroom are shared spaces🚿 Another highlight is that you can see the ocean from the room✨ Whenever I go to Zamami, I've decided to stay here🌴 Instagram @zamami_nakamuraya I always make reservations through Instagram❤️ ☎️0989872147 #OkinawaTourism#OkinawaRemoteIslands#ZamamiVillage#ZamamiIsland
