Aka Island Deer
阿嘉島の鹿Okinawa
Aka Island is home to the unique Kerama deer, a species found nowhere else. Visitors can enjoy the stunning white sand beaches and take part in whale watching during the migration season. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
