i'm one of the few westerners living on miyakojima (sarahama, specifically). shigira for snorkeling and maehama for relaxing are good suggestions. there are places on irabu i like better for both (namely nakanoshima for snorkeling and toguchi for relaxing), but they're more remote so if you don't rent a car (not sure why you didn't) then you probably won't make it there. kinda surprised you didn't have much on night life. if you make it here, it's almost a sin to not go to puchimart and get drunk with iha-san. let me know the next time you come and i'll show you what you missed.

Sorry, one more question! What do you do about your belongings like wallet, phone, etc, when you're snorkling??

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to Miyakojima in a couple of weeks and I didn't know about the turtles! I need to go to that beach! You said the taxis are not expensive, but how much is that? We can't rent a car so it would be nice to know the prices. Do you just wait until a taxi passes by or do you need to call them somehow?

You call them just like you would in any other place. :) Just save a taxi number to your phone. As for cost, this was a year and a half ago so I am afraid I can't remember exact prices, but I know it wasn't much because the island is so small. If it is too much for you, cycling is another option, or even walking. And I left everything on the beach while swimming.

You talked about being able to ferry from Miyakojima to Okinawa. Do you know the least expensive way to get to Ishigaki fromMiyakojima or Tarama? ありがとうございます

Hi there! It looks like there aren't many ways to get between the regular islands and the Yaeyama islands at all. Here's the ferry service for Ishigaki: www.aneikankou.co.jp/languages/img/e_tp.pdf There are airports on both Miyakojima and Ishigaki, so your best bet would probably be to try and find a flight schedule if there are flights between them. :)

I just returned from 3 nights trip from Miyakojima and couldn't help wonder why You didn't just rent A CAR just like I have. And also, I have been to SHRAGI GOLDEN onsen two nights straight but haven't been to its beach ... although my sole purpose for visiting the island was to SNORKEL.

Hi there! I'm really glad you were able to rent a car - we preferred not to and had a great time! I also can't go to most onsen as I have five tattoos. I hope you enjoyed the snorkeling and the beautiful island atmosphere of Miyako! :)

@@AstroVee there's another onsen that has private rooms with a big bath that you can rent. i refuse to go back to the one at shigira for their policies, but the one here (www.google.com/maps/place/Miyakojima+Onsen/@24.7710614,125.3412613,18.51z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xe4042c658c295ba6!8m2!3d24.7705899!4d125.3415849) is great.

Hey, thanks so much and I'm so glad you think so! I adore Okinawa, and I don't want other people to feel intimidated of traveling outside the main island of it, because it's so so worth it. :D
