Overview

Miyakojima is a subtropical paradise renowned for its stunning, pristine white-sand beaches and incredibly clear, turquoise waters that boast some of the best coral reefs in Japan. Hirara itself is the most populated area on the island, serving as its commercial and cultural heart.
The town offers a relaxed island atmosphere with a mix of local shops, restaurants, and a bustling port that connects Miyakojima to other islands and serves as a popular cruise ship destination. Hirara provides visitors with a comfortable base to explore Miyakojima's natural beauty, engage in watersports, and experience the unique Ryukyuan culture.
