Miyako Island
宮古島Okinawa
Miyako is a low, flat coral island north-east of the Yaeyamas, known for shallow turquoise water and for the road bridges that link it to Irabu, Ikema and Kurima without a ferry. Miyako Airport connects it directly to Naha and to the mainland, and a car is the practical way to move around once you land. 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.
