Riding Guide

Because all of islands are not so big, riding bike in Okinawa is not like a journey. However, it doesn't mean it is not place for cycling. Bicycle must be one of the best relaxed transport for a half day snoozing on the beach.
There are some cheap camping sits and also many (relatively) cheap gust houses(1500-2500 Yen for shared room without meal).

Ishigaki island

There are good camping sites for cyclist.
Yonahara Camping site must be a best in front of shining beach. You can snorkel in the sea to see coral. Wonderful!

You can take a boat from/to Kelong or Gaoshun, Taiwan.
Notice this boat come to Naha city directly from Taiwan. Although you can take it at Naha, Ishigaki island or Miyako island, it doesn't stop at Ishigaki and Miyako island.
