[2025 Taketomi Attraction] Travel Guide for Hatoma (Updated Jul)

A hidden gem! Do you know Hatoma Island, one of the Yaeyama Islands? 🥹✨ It's about an hour by boat from Ishigaki Island! There are no tourists, and the population is only 60 people, so time flows slowly! It was an island where you could forget about time and truly escape reality. Its unique feature is that it has many beaches, but they are all connected, so you can walk between them! What's more! There are lots of fish on every beach🐟 and the waves are calm and easy to swim in! Even my friends who are not good at swimming were able to snorkel with peace of mind~🤿 It became my favorite island👒☀️ We rented bicycles, but most of us walked around~! 📍Place for lunch [Food and Drink Shop Firemaya (Kushike-ya Restaurant Relocation🍴🍙] #OkinawaTourism #IshigakiIsland #HatomaIsland #RemoteIslands #YaeyamaIslands

[Miracle Island❗️Barasu Island] I found out about this island when people started asking me "Have you been to Barasu Island?" after I started traveling alone! It's located between Hatoma Island and Iriomote Island, and it's an island made up of coral fragments🌈 That's why the size of the island changes with the tides, and it seems that its position and shape change little by little every year😳 That's why it's called the "miracle island"...💙🤍 (But it's amazing how the people at the marine shops can calmly notice that its position has changed😂✨ I'm sure I won't notice it even if I see it a year from now...lol) The surrounding Hatoma blue is so beautiful💙💙💙 The coral reefs underwater were also lush and colorful😆 I still remember how kind they were to make a staircase out of boxes when we got off the boat👀✨ And Barasu Island was more rugged with coral than I expected👀! It's so beautiful even when it's cloudy, so it must be amazing when it's sunny~🥺💕 But even though the weather was bad, I'm still glad I went🥰 📍Barasu Island, Okinawa Prefecture #Barasu Island #Hatoma Island #Okinawa #Hatoma Island Blue #Miracle Island #Visiting remote islands #Remote island trip #Seaside scenery #Supporting tourism #Supporting tourism#Breathtaking views
