Tokashiki Village is the closest national park to Naha. The center of this is Tokashiki Island. Most of the island is made up of mountains, and you can overlook the surrounding sea area from the observatory. In addition, the scenery is rich in scenery, such as rare rural scenery in Okinawa. Of course, marine activities are also available on the beach. I'm looking forward to the island. If you want to act freely, rent a car is recommended.

There are two main beaches on Tokashiki Island, both of which are attractive for marine activities.

Aharen Beach

The main beach of the island in Aharen village, which is the bustling village of Tokashiki Island

It is a natural beach with a gentle curve, and it is very busy during the season. You can also cross to an uninhabited island floating offshore, making it ideal for enjoying plenty of sea. I would like to go to the Aharen Observation Deck with a panoramic view of the beach.

Togashiku beach

The hotel stands in front of you with plenty of hospitality and resort feeling.

The waves are gentle because of the bay. Also surrounded by forest on three sides, it has plenty of private feeling. It has a different atmosphere than Aharen Beach. A hotel stands on the beach side and offers a variety of activities.

Most of the island is observation deck here and there. A panoramic view of the Kerama Islands and the Kerama Blue Sea

West observation deck and East observation deck

Two observation deck located at the top of Mt. Akama, the highest peak of Tokashiki Island.

At an altitude of 277m, near the summit of Aka Mayama is a good location with an open view and 360-degree view. There are two observation decks here, and the West observation deck (pictured) overlooks the islands of the Kerama Islands, including Zamami Island. East observation deck overlooks Okinawa Island.

Aharen Garden

The sunset spot at the southernmost tip of Tokashiki Island, which can be reached.

A plaza with parking lots and toilets about 10 minutes by car from Aharen village. Because it is located on a hill, it has a good view and is famous as a spot for sunset. From here, the promenade extends to Cape Aharen, the southernmost tip of Tokashiki Island.

Lunch and dinner will have Okinawan dishes such as island-specific dishes using local fish and Champloo!

Barracks

The full menu is perfect for lunch between the sea play.

A few minutes on foot from Aharen Beach. We recommend 900 yen set meal with vinegar miso and miso with plenty of island fish caught that day. Okinawa soba 650 yen and juicy (cooked rice) using black rice from Tokashiki Island are also popular.

Karaoke izakaya Marine Box

Unusual late-night business on Tokashiki Island. Reservation required and transfer is also OK.

Located near Tokashiki Port, it offers 850 yen for A lunch (pictured). It is very thankful because it is open not only during the day but also until midnight, and it will be free of charge (2 people ~) to the inn with reservations required until 21:00 on the day.

A gem unique to Tokashiki Island is a souvenir. There are several shops in the harbor waiting area, so let's use it before you go home.
