Spend a leisurely half day discovering the scenic highlights of lovely southern Miyako Island. Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking and set off via motorcoach to the Observatory for picture-perfect views overlooking Miyako, Irabu and the bridges that connect the surrounding islands. Continue on to Shimoji Island, where you’ll admire two round ponds called Tori-ike, noted for their combination of fresh water and sea water, which produces constantly changing color and their mythical history. Next, you’ll capture stunning pictures of Irabu Ohashi Bridge, Okinawa’s longest bridge, between Irabu and Miyako against expansive sky and sparkling sea vistas. Keep your camera at the ready for the next photo stop, Maehama Beach, one of Japan’s best stretches of sand on the southwestern corner of Miyako Island. Conclude the day with a stop at a local shop for souvenirs before returning to port after this day of natural wonder.
