Japan's westernmost point
Of all Okinawa's remote islands you can hop to, Yonaguni might not be the first on your list, but I'm here to tell you that it is definitely one you won't want to miss. Home to untamed nature and beautiful landscapes, Yonaguni Island is known as the westernmost island of Japan. With a circumference of 27.49 kilometers and a dimension of 28.88k㎡, 'the Island on a national boundary' is the eighth largest among Okinawa's 160 islands. Getting there is a bit of a challenge, requiring two flights – Naha to Ishigaki and then to Yonaguni — or a flight and a ferry— fly from Naha to Ishigaki then ferry to Yonaguni.
