"Taketomi Island - well worth a day trip" Taketomi by TravelPossom

Taketomi Island is very popular since people on Taketomi Island still live in the beautiful traditional Okinawan houses which haven't changed since the 17th century (Yaeyama Islands were in the stone age until the 17th century). All house fences are made from coral and the roads are made from coral sand. The beaches are beautiful and the waters are crystal clear. Hire a bike and ride around for a day. Drink Orion beer at a cafe and soak up the unique atmosphere!
