Miyakojima is renowned for having some of the clearest waters in Japan, with white-sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs spread across the island.

With a dedicated private vehicle throughout, this guided tour covers the full loop of highlights: Yonaha Maehama Beach, often ranked among Japan's most beautiful beaches; East Henna Cape, a dramatic 2km promontory where the Pacific Ocean meets the East China Sea; the Miyakojima City Traditional Crafts Center, for a look at Miyako Jofu hand-weaving; Painagama Beach, a relaxed spot near the port; and, time permitting, Ryugujo Observatory on Kurima Island.
