Hi. Did you know that there are beautiful beaches in Japan? I sure didn't.
In Okinawa Island, there are three beautiful beaches called: Moon beach, Manza beach, and Okuma beach. Manza beach is the most popular. It is about a one and a half hour drive from Naha-city. The view of Monza-mou, which is a famous cliff made of coral reef, can be seen from Manza beach. The beaches of Okinawa Island are open from April to October.There is also a good diving point in Manza.
Iriomote Island is the second largest island in Okinawa. This island is covered by tropical and subtropical forest and is known as the "mystery land of Japan". River tours through the jungle are a popular attraction. An intresting sight on this island is star-shaped "sand" on the Hoshisuna-no-hama Beach. The "sand" is actually the tiny skeletons of sea creatures, but it resembles grains of sand. Star sand is said to bring happiness and makes a very popular souvenirs.
Ishigaki Island is the third largest island in Okinawa. Fifty percent of the island is mountain, and there are lots of sugar cane fields. The coasts are covered by beautiful coral borders. Ishigaki Island is the transfer point where visitors can take ferries to go other islands such as Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island.
Next time that you want to travel to some foreign country to see beautiful beaches, rethink Florida, Cancun, and other popular places. Try something new buy a one-way ticket to Okinawa, Japan, and you won't be disappointed.
