The charm of Tonaki Island, a beautiful healing island, and what you want to experience on the island

Updated February 7, 2020

Overview of Tonaki Island

The entire village of Tonaki Island has been selected as an "Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District" in the country.
The old-fashioned appearance is still preserved, such as the red tiled house built lower than the road surface, the row of Fukugi trees, and the white sand road. The relaxing atmosphere of the island and the calm passage of time will heal your heart.
Another characteristic of Tonaki Island is the high rate of encounters with sea turtles, and you may even see sea turtles from the coast.
At night, the starry sky and the gentle footlights show a different charm of the island.
