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 see the surrounding waters from the observation deck. In addition, there are plenty of scenery, such as rural scenery that is rare in Okinawa on flatlands. Of course, there are plenty of marine activities on the beach. I'm looking forward to seeing you there. If you want to be free, rent a car is recommended.

Tokashiki Island has two main beaches, both of which are rich in marine activities.

Aharen Beach

The main beach of the island in the village of Aharen, which is the busiest on Tokashiki Island.

It is a natural beach with a gentle curve, and it is very busy during the season. It can also be crossed to uninhabited islands off the coast, making it ideal for enjoying plenty of sea. I also want to go to the Aharen Observatory, where you can see the beach.

Tokashiku Beach

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

The waves are calm because it is shaped like a bay. In addition, there is plenty of private feeling surrounded by forests. It has a different atmosphere from Aharen Beach. A hotel stands on the beach side and offers a variety of activities.

Most of the islands are hills, so observation deck is everywhere. With a panoramic view of the islands of the Kerama Islands and the sea of Kerama Blue

West observation deck, East observation deck

Two observation decks at the top of Mt. Akama, the highest peak on Tokashiki Island.

At an altitude of 277m, near the summit of Aka Mayama is a good location with an open view and a 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

Sunset spot on the island at the southernmost tip of Tokashiki Island, which can be reached by car

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 sunset spot. From here, the promenade extends to Cape Aharen, the southernmost tip of Tokashiki Island.

Lunch and dinner will have Okinawan dishes such as dishes unique to the island using local fish and champloo!

Boron balack

Perfect for lunch between sea play with a rich menu

A few minutes walk from Aharen Beach. We recommend a set meal of 900 yen with sashimi vinegar miso made with plenty of sashimi of island fish caught that day. Okinawa soba 650 yen and juicy (cooked rice) 160 yen using black rice from Tokashiki Island are also popular.

Karaoke Izakaya Marine Box

It's rare late-night business on Tokashiki Island. Reservation required and pick-up is also OK.

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

A special gift unique to Tokashiki Island. There are several shops in the harbor waiting area, so let's use it before returning.
