The Kerama Islands are an extremely popular destination for Okinawa travel. Among them, Tokashiki Island is the most accessible, just a 35-minute high-speed ferry ride from Naha. It's a popular remote island for marine sports that can be visited on a day trip from Naha, but it's actually packed with attractions beyond the sea.

Many tourists visit Aharen Beach and Tokashiku Beach seeking the Kerama Blue ocean that captivates the world. However, most people go directly to the beach by shuttle bus from the port and return after only seeing the sea, which is actually a huge missed opportunity.

Protecting nature, blending into nature. A proposal for an "eco-friendly" island trip.
Tokashiki Island is a treasure trove of valuable nature, with the entire island designated as part of the "Kerama Islands National Park." To preserve this beautiful scenery and ecosystem for future generations, we as tourists are also called upon to make "environmentally friendly" choices.

Therefore, what we currently recommend most to Okinawa island fans is to travel by electric-assist bicycle, which produces no exhaust gas and does not disturb the island's tranquility.


*By the way, I personally went by road bike to test my strength this time, but I realized again that an electric-assist bicycle was the correct choice. lol

Environmentally friendly: Electric bicycles don't use gasoline, so they don't pollute the National Park's clean air.

Enjoy with all five senses: Without the disturbance of car engine noise, you can experience the chirping of birds, the sound of waves, and the scent of the forest directly during your trip.

Don't be afraid of steep hills! Your strongest companion, the "electric-assist bicycle."
Tokashiki Island's terrain is very rugged, and a major obstacle in getting around is the "steep hills." It's too vast to walk, and in a car, you'd speed past scenery you'd miss, but with a state-of-the-art electric-assist bicycle, you can effortlessly climb those hills.

Panoramic views of the National Park all to yourself: From the observation decks on high ground, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the endless Kerama Blue.

Experience history and culture: Being able to stop at small signs for old villages or war memorials, which you'd pass by in a car, is a freedom unique to bicycle rental.

The starting point of your journey: "Sunny Coral" for departure and a relaxed return.
Pick up your bicycle at "Sunny Coral," just a 3-minute walk from the port, and your island adventure begins immediately.

After exploring the island thoroughly and returning your bicycle, you can relax at Sunny Coral. Enjoy a blissful moment waiting for your ferry with a specialty sandwich and coffee in hand. It's the perfect ending, reflecting on your travel memories while feeling the island breeze.

For those who want to know more: Special "guided tours" are also available!
For those who say, "I enjoy going at my own pace, but I want to know more about the island's history and nature," guided tours led by experts on Tokashiki Island are also highly recommended.

After experiencing the vastness of the island by renting a bicycle, participating in a guided tour will surely lead to even deeper discoveries. By delving into Tokashiki Island's history, secret spots known only to guides, and more, your travel experience will become significantly richer.


Book your Okinawa trip for Golden Week in advance!
Golden Week and summer holidays are very crowded. Bicycle rentals on Tokashiki Island are limited, so advance booking is essential.

Why not go beyond simply "swimming in the sea" and embark on an adventure across Tokashiki Island with the wings of an eco-friendly electric-assist bicycle?
Experience a remote island journey with a fresh perspective that only a bicycle can offer.

Why don't you try it for yourself?
