I visited Taketomi as a day trip from Ishigaki in June 2011. I had a great day there, even did a bit of snorkeling at Misashi. If I ever go again, I'll stay a night there to soak up even more of the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteBeen there once,took a ferry from Ishigaki. The island is every bit as beautiful as you described and I have fond memory of the Ryukyu-style homes with their rooftop komainus. With beaches like that, wonder why Japanese would spend a fortune to flock to Hawaii?
