Irabu Island
Destination3 list appearances
Irabu is worth giving a half day even if you already have a Miyako hotel. Drive over Irabu Bridge, head up to Makiyama Observation Deck and stop at Sarahama Fishing Port for a look at the working harbor and a seafood lunch. Dive travelers can use Irabu as a quiet base, though the official guide says many operators run from Hirara on Miyako. Shimoji is a separate neighboring island connected by road and useful to combine with Irabu.
