The charm of "Aguni Island", the island where the King of Ryukyu was born, and what you want to experience on the island

Overview of Aguni Island

Aguni Island is located about 60 kilometers northwest of Naha City. The name became widely known because it became the stage of the movie. While the beautiful sandy beach surrounded by reefs spreads out, there is also a coast with chalk walls made of white tuff that tells us that there was volcanic activity tens of thousands of years ago, so you can enjoy various landscapes even though it is a small island. I can.

As an island that once had volcanic activity, you can enjoy the dynamic terrain that cannot be seen on other islands.
You can enjoy the island more deeply by visiting the islands while being aware of the construction of Ishigaki and Ishigaki, which are similar to and slightly different from the main island of Okinawa. At night, there are few artificial lights on the island, so you can enjoy a very beautiful starry sky all year round.
