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

#Checklist before travel ✔︎︎︎︎Dresses👗 I recommend wearing bright colors✨Especially long and flared ones. Wrinkle-resistant materials are even better◎ I wear a lot of ZARA and Self-ford! ✔︎︎︎︎Straw hats👒Not only are they practical, but they also look great just by having them🙌 I love Athena New York💓 ✔︎︎︎︎Camera📸My go-to camera is the GoPro HERO9! It's always fun to have a camera! And with a GoPro, you can take photos of the night sky and underwater, and it's easy to take photos of yourself✨ ✔︎︎︎︎UV hoodies☀️There's a big difference between having one and not having one! It doesn't hurt even when the sun is strong! I use the UNIQLO Airism UV hoodie😊 It's thin, so it's perfect for wearing over your clothes! ✔︎︎︎︎Matching items👫If you're going on vacation, I recommend matching outfits✨It will look great and be a memorable experience! We buy them locally and take them with us when we go on vacation afterwards 🥰 #travelpackinglist

Do you know the small island called Kohamajima🌴 in the Yaeyama Islands of Okinawa Prefecture🙈? ? The sea 🪸 around Kohama Island is so clear that it looks like the boat is floating. No matter how many times I go there or swim there, I am always impressed 🎶☺️ The coral is clear even when viewed from above ♥️ When I put my face in the sea with a snorkel, I am amazed at how clear the water is ♥️ ✱Actually, none of these photos have been edited at all 😉 Recommended snorkeling tour on Kohama Island ✤ Guesthouse Miyara-san Even if you are not a guest, you can join a day trip tour if there is availability 🙆♀️💗 Another nice point is that you can have aerial photos of the beautiful Yaeyama Islands sea taken with a drone ♥️ #Let's look back on summer trip memories #Cool spots and gourmet #Photogenic spots #Stunning spots #Travel #Snorkeling #Kohama Island #Ishigaki Island #Yaeyama Islands #Girls trip #Japantrip #Unexplored place #Stunning view #0 yen trip

The only route between Kohama Island and the outlying islands is via Ishigaki Island. Himurubushi and Hoshino Risonare are the two major tourist hotels on Kohama Island, but the port is quite crowded when the shuttle buses for these two are in operation. If you are staying at another hotel, we recommend arriving at the port a little earlier on your return. You may be in trouble if the bus is full and you cannot get on. Apparently, there are also extra buses during events and Golden Week. The toilets are surprisingly clean. I could only find about three places to eat nearby. The juice from the vending machine costs about 30 yen more than the one sold in the mainland. It's also fun to spend your time daydreaming while looking at the beautiful sea while waiting for the boat. 3390-2 Kohama, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa 907-1221 #Domestic travel #Obama Port #Kohama Island

Sightseeing on Kohama Island in the Yaeyama Islands, Okinawa♪ A remote island that can be reached in about 30 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Island, it has a strong undeveloped feel among the Yaeyama Islands, and has an atmosphere where you can experience the nature of Okinawa itself🏝 It is also famous for being the location for the drama "Churasan", It feels great to ride through the sugarcane fields♪ There are goats, cows, and horses everywhere on the island, and it is filled with a healing atmosphere. ・Sugar Road ・Coral Beach ・Odake Observatory ・Hosozaki Coast We visited famous places such as these♪ #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #BreathtakingView #BeachResort

We stayed at Haimurubushi on Kohama Island. The vast grounds had a beach, a place to watch the sunset, and even animals like goats and cows, so we really enjoyed the resort. It was a cold day in November, so the hot springs felt great and helped us refresh our bodies.

Kohama Island is about 30 minutes from the ferry terminal of Ishigaki Island. It is the island where the popular drama "Churasan" was set, and even today many tourists visit the island. It is interesting that even the ferry's name uses "Churasan". When you stand in front of Kohagura-so, you can almost hear the sound of the sanshin. #OkinawaTrip

#国外游 #japan #ishigaki I came to Okinawa three years ago and was surrounded by beautiful sea. It is very different from Hong Kong. I did a lot of fun activities, which was full of sunshine and beach. There are not many people on the island, but they are very friendly. I participated in snorkeling activities. The water is very clear. I will definitely come again!

#WesternJapan #RemoteIslandTrip The second highest point on Kohama Island! There are 100 steps, so it was a bit tiring, but there is a monument to Chura-san on the observation deck, and above all, there is a spectacular view of the Yaeyama Islands, so I recommend climbing up! Access 6 minutes by car from Kohama Island boarding point

This is what I'm introducing today☀️ This is the souvenir shop [Kubayaa] at the entrance to the Kohamajima ferry terminal✨ There are few souvenir shops on Kohamajima, and the only ones are the hotel shops, so this is also recommended for day trippers who are not staying at the hotel✨ We recommend mozuku seaweed and brown sugar from Kohamajima, and noodles kneaded with mozuku seaweed✨ #gw2022jp #Kohamajima

Kohama Island🌴, the setting for the drama Chura-san. I watched all the episodes before going for the first time🙌 lol. Thanks to that, I was moved by everything I saw❣️. There was also a house that was used in the drama😊. The sugarcane fields and the straight road (Sugar Road) were very beautiful and soothing✨✨. There are bicycle rentals, motorbike rentals, and rental cars, but there are quite a few ups and downs, so if you are renting a bicycle, I recommend an electric one if you have one🙌. The pizza and beer I had on the beach were absolutely delicious😋. *Kohama Island. 907-1221 Kohama, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture. #Remote Island Trip #Okinawa #Kohama Island

I wanted to try kayaking in the mangrove forest at least once in my life, and this time my wish came true because I was on Kohama Island and Iriomote Island in Okinawa☀️ There were also other sea kayaking tours and sunset tours, but I applied for and participated in a tour to explore the mangrove forest during the day☀️ Once you get used to it, the kayak is easy to operate and moves smoothly☀️ Since I usually live in a noisy environment, it was a valuable experience to be able to see the majestic scenery, the birds' voices, the monkeys, crabs, and small animals in this great outdoors☀️ The sound of the wind and the rustling of the grass and trees was also pleasant☀️ I really recommend it, so if you visit a remote island, please try it☀️　 #Breathtaking view

The first photo is from Nishi-Ufudaki Observatory, one of the highest points on Kohama Island, where you can see 360 ​​degrees of Kohama Island. The view is amazing☀️ The second photo is Haimurubushi Beach☀️ Kohama Island is an island with sugarcane fields, and the third photo, Sugar Road, is famous as the filming location for the popular NHK morning drama Chura-san☀️ The fourth photo is Ishinagata Beach, where mangrove forests grow naturally and can be observed up close, which is recommended☀️ The fifth photo is Hamajima, the phantom island between Taketomi Island and Kohama Island. It is a phantom crescent-shaped island that only appears when the tide is high☀️ Everywhere was a spectacular spot, so I recommend it☀️　 #SpectacularView

I visited for my niece's wedding. Although the weather was unfortunate at times, it was a very pleasant island. Haimurubushi Hotel is a great hotel that you can enjoy even for long stays because they can do anything you want. Next time, I'd like to come back and enjoy the grounds and activities at my leisure.

Coral Beach, a public beach on Kohama Island, Okinawa 🏖 Unlike other beaches, this beach is quiet and peaceful. When I went, there were only 2-3 groups of people. The white sand and shallow sea with coral spread out, as the name "Coral" suggests, are attractive. The sea is so beautiful that snorkeling is also recommended 🤿✨ Address: 758-1 Kohama Island, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture #Okinawa #OkinawaRemoteIsland #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaBeach #KohamaIsland #RemoteIslandTrip #CoralBeach #TripToVisitRemoteIslands#BreathtakingView

Kohama Island, a remote island in Okinawa Prefecture, is famous for being the setting for Chura-san⛱ There are several beaches on the island, but this is Tumar Beach, which has a wide stretch of sand. Once you pass through the overgrown trees, you'll find nothing but the sea. The color of the sea changes depending on the direction of the sun. (1st and 2nd photos) It's a hidden gem💓 📍 Tumar Beach 🛥20 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Island #Okinawa #Kohama Island #Secret #Seaside scenery #Supporting tourism #Supporting tourism #Breathtaking scenery

Kayama Island (official name: Kayamajima Island) is a remote island lying between Ishigaki Island and Kohama Island in the Yaeyama Islands of Okinawa. It is a small island that can be walked around in an hour, and was originally inhabited by people, but is now uninhabited. However, in recent years, due to tourism development, a company from Ishigaki Island commissioned by Taketomi Town has been planning and running landing tours and various events. As a result, it is not possible to land on Kayama Island on your own, and you must join a tour. The charms of Kayama Island are 1. More than 500 rabbits live on the island. ⇒ The rabbits were once brought to the island, but they have become wild and thrived, and now you can be surrounded by rabbits that are accustomed to humans. 2. You can encounter rare Okinawan creatures. ⇒ You can observe rare plants and animals such as the nationally designated natural monument "land hermit crab," Okinawa's specialty giant coconut crab, and the hanging flower. 3. Coral reefs on a white sand beach ⇒You can relax on a private beach or snorkel to see the world-famous coral reefs of Sekisei Lagoon 4. Stargazing in a starry sky sanctuary ⇒When you stay overnight at a campsite, you can enjoy the night sky of a world-renowned starry sky sanctuary Recently, it has also been rented out for wedding events and training camps 📍Location: Obama, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture 🛥️Access: Most people join a tour *Only tours organized by Sanwa Travel from Ishigaki Island allow you to land on Kayama Island #EnjoyJapan #Okinawa #Kayama Island #BeautifulBeach

\How to spend time on Kohama Island/ ⁡ This is one of my favorite islands🩵 The feeling of exhilaration when you rent a bike and ride through the sugarcane fields (which are almost gone now) is amazing! I heard it was used as a filming location for something. Also, there was a restaurant called Yuuna that was incredibly delicious! They serve island dishes and snacks, so it's perfect for those who want alcohol and delicious food! You should definitely make a reservation for meals on Kohama Island, so make sure to call early◎ I definitely want to go back again☺️ #domestictraveltrip #KohamaIsland

It's hard to find convenience stores or cafes nearby, so find out where they are in advance ⚫︎Cafe, marine activities V.O.V Villa II The ever-summer remote island of Ishigaki, Kohama Island, is available for private use.

I finally visited the Yaeyama Islands, specifically Kohama Island, which I had always wanted to go to. It takes about 30 minutes by regular ferry from the Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal. The round trip costs 2,700 yen. This island was the setting for the drama 'Churasan.' It takes about 50 steps up the stairs to reach the observation deck of Mount Ufudaki. There, you will find a monument dedicated to 'Churasan.' The view of the blue sky and sea from there is absolutely stunning. The Kohagura Residence, which was used as a filming location, is a private home, so you can only view it from the outside. The Sugar Road was used as the main character's school route. The nostalgic scenery is highly recommended☺️

Nishi-Odake Observatory is a wonderful place where you can get a panoramic view of Iriomote Island to Kayama Island by climbing a few stairs from the entrance!! There are stairs, but if you persevere, a spectacular view awaits you👍️ It was a little cloudy, but the sea was beautiful and I was very impressed✨ Kohama Island is famous as the setting for Chura-san♪ If you come to Kohama Island, this is a spot you should definitely visit👍️ [Name] Nishi-Odake Observatory [Location] 907-1221 Kohama, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa #0 yen travel autumn #Kohama Island tourism #Kohama Island trip #Domestic travel

#FuriTabi Kohama Island, a remote island in Okinawa Prefecture famous for being the location for Churasan🏖 I rode a bicycle for the first time in about 3 years😂It was my first time on an electric bicycle🙌I got carried away and went too fast and fell over, but it was a lot of fun!!

I've always wanted to visit Taketomi Island again! At this time, I was staying on Kohama Island, so I took the route from Kohama Island to Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island, passing through Ishigaki Island. The boat fare is quite expensive, so I should have thought about this carefully🤣 I came here a little unplanned, so I recommend planning in advance. -How to get around the island →There are overwhelmingly more bicycles! You should make a reservation beforehand! There is a bus on the island, but there aren't many, so a bicycle seems to be the best. There seemed to be some companies that would pick you up at the port by bus! -Places to eat and cafes →If you go by bicycle, you can maneuver easily, so you can go anywhere...! If there are any shops that accept reservations, it's a good idea to make a reservation, as this is also a small island and the number is limited. I like the atmosphere of this island, so I want to take revenge on a sunny day, and next time I want to go with a little more planning🔥lol #FuriTabi #TaketomiIsland #OkinawaTrip #IslandTrip #TripWithChildren

There is an island that has recently become popular. That is Kohama Island, which can be reached from Ishigaki Island Remote Island Terminal. It was the location for the NHK morning drama series "Churasan." The scenery of this island, which has a nostalgic and rustic impression, is very calming. The main attraction is the long and straight Sugar Road, which was used as the main character's school route. If you are a fan of Churasan, you should definitely go! 📍Kohama Island Address: 907-1221 Kohama, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture #0 yen trip #domestic travel #Okinawa tourism #Japan's breathtaking scenery
