It is an island that is large enough to walk around. It is a perfect place to heal your tired body and mind with a relaxing time flowing through the old-fashioned Ryukyu scenery.
The whole island of Zhufu Island is only 5.42 kilometers. Friends with good physical strength can easily take a bicycle to travel around the island. In addition, you can also choose to take a buffalo ride to slowly enjoy the scenery of the island. Zhufu Island is not only rich in history and culture, but also has a unique wall and red tile building made of coral reef stone! When I came to Zhufu Island, I felt that the concept of "time" did not exist on the island. The overall atmosphere was very comfortable!
It is worth experiencing an island. There are not many residents on the island, but the scenery is particularly white, and you can experience the life of the locals, and you can eat the food of the locals. It is a great trip.
It takes about 10 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Island to Takefu Island. When you arrive on the island, you can take the island bus to visit the island's attractions.
There are three famous attractions on Takefu Island. The island bus can be reached. 300 yen one way, you can try to take the bus.
It is a original ecological island, recognized by the world organization. So islanders can't change anything casually. There are only about 380 people on the island and there is no university. Visiting the village in a buffalo car is very distinctive, listening to the old resident grandfather's explanation, playing the three-stringed piano and singing local songs, slowly enjoying the original ecological buildings and plants, and imagining the life of the locals. There are so many stars at night, and they are beautiful. It is just a long way away. You need to take an hour's flight from Naha Airport to Ishigaki Island and then transfer to the cruise ship for 10 minutes to reach Zhufu Island.
