Located in the southwest of the Amami Islands, Okinoerabu Island is an isolated island belonging to Oshima District, Kagoshima Prefecture. Okinoerabu Island is an uplifted coral reef island covered with Ryukyu limestone. Because it is close to the main island of Okinawa, the climate is almost the same as Okinawa's warm climate (average annual temperature is 22°C). Tropical and subtropical flowers bloom throughout the year, and cultivation of Erabu lilies and spray chrysanthemums is also thriving. There is a lot of untouched nature, a beautiful sea, and 200 to 300 large limestone caves. It is also a popular spot for divers because diving is possible all year round. The most common way to get to Okinoerabu Island is to transfer to Kagoshima Airport from major cities across the country, but you can also transfer from Naha Airport or take a ferry from Tokunoshima or Yoron Island. Here are some recommended sightseeing spots and attractions on the charming Okinoerabu Island in a ranking format!
