Miyako Island

Destination3 list appearances

On Miyako, start with a coastline rather than a ferry timetable. The drive between the northern and southeastern capes gives you an idea of the island’s scale, and road bridges extend the trip into the neighboring islands. Reserve time for the lighthouse at Higashi-Hennazaki or a workshop at the traditional crafts village, then leave an evening for Yonaha Maehama. Hirara and the resort coast offer different rhythms, so choose where to stay based on how much driving you want to do after dark.
