Taketomi Island, which belongs to the Yaeyama Islands in southwestern Okinawa, is a very small island with a circumference of about 9 km. You can explore the entire island in one day, so many people come here on a day trip. However, in order to enjoy the slow flow of time that is unique to a remote island, it is best to stay overnight. Being able to look at the beautiful starry sky at night is a privilege only available when you stay overnight.
