Famous for its sunny beaches and natural wonders, Miyako Island welcomes many visitors during holidays.
Scuba diving
Miyako Island is for diving(潜水), with a wealth of dive sites to explore, including many underwater caves. Even those without a diving license can have a try. Dive shops and tour operators also offer tours for beginners to explore Miyako Island’s underwater environment.
Snorkeling(浮潜)
Snorkeling is a must-try in Miyako Island. Plenty of space to dive close to the shore is a standout feature. For beginners, Aragusuku and Shigira are a good choice but advanced snorkelers may see Imgyo Marine Garden, Waiwai Beach and Shimojishima as their favorite spots.
The bridges
Irabu Bridge is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. It connects Miyako Island and Irabujima, stretching for 3540m. Smaller bridges connect Irabu and Shimoji islands, giving visitors additional beach options. On Shimoji Island, there is a boardwalk around Tooriike and two dramatic marine ponds connected to each other.
Unique beaches
Yonaha Maehama Beach is the most famous beach in Miyako Island, where white sand stretches for seven kilometers. Sunayama Beach, known for its arch-shaped rock, is hidden in a small cove(湾), and one has to walk through lines of trees to get there.

Traveling can be expensive. But there are some ways to save money when traveling. Try some of the advice below on your next vacation and your wallet will thank you.
Look for city tourism cards. With the card, you can pay less at restaurants and shops. You don’t have to wait for a long time at busy attractions. You might even get free tickets to top tourist attractions. City tourism cards can save your money and time without question.
Don’t get the best room. How long will you stay in your room? Will you just be sleeping there? Do you really need a bigger room with a good view (景色)?
Find a hotel outside a city. It can help you save some money by choosing a hotel away from big tourist attractions, for you are always doing the same — go to the attractions and then return to your hotel to sleep.
Book (预订) a room with a kitchen. Although some people might not like to cook while on vacation, I don’t mind making breakfast in my room. We always eat at a nice restaurant on our last night of the vacation. I’d rather eat breakfast and lunch at the hotel and then spend much money on a delicious supper.
