Taketomi Island Village
Located off the coast of Ishigaki Island, Taketomi Island boasts a small Ryukyu village. Traditional Honshu-style houses dot the landscape, their rustic red clay roofs adorned with Shisa guardians—a blend of lion and dog figures. Visitors can enjoy water buffalo cart rides, explore craft workshops, and relax on pristine white sand beaches.
