WHY YONAGUNI

Why Visit Yonaguni Island

Yonaguni Horse · Natural Monument

A rare native breed roaming the island's pastures freely — sometimes right on the road. The summer horse-into-sea experience is unlike anything else.

Dr. Koto Filming Location

The real filming location of Japan's beloved drama, preserved exactly as it appeared on screen — beside an almost deserted white-sand beach.

Hammerhead Sharks · World-Class Diving

From November to February, huge schools of hammerhead sharks gather near Yonaguni — one of the world's top shark diving spots. The underwater ruins are unique in the world.

Japan's Western Tip · See Taiwan

From the western cape, Taiwan is just 111km away — visible on clear days. Watching Japan's last sunset sink into the sea is the island's most unforgettable farewell.

FAQ

FAQ

Why is there only one charter car?
Yonaguni has fewer than 2,000 residents. The island's only taxi company operates a limited fleet. This is the reality of remote island travel — not a service quality issue.
Can you book the horse riding experience for us?
Yes. Horse riding experiences book out fast in peak season. We can arrange both the winter grassland route and the summer sea-entry route.
Can you help arrange diving too?
We can connect you with local dive shops. Underwater ruins dives and hammerhead season trips (November-February) can both be arranged.
How do we get to Yonaguni Island?
Fly from Ishigaki in 30 minutes (RAC airline) or take the ferry in ~4 hours (limited weekly sailings). Most visitors fly both ways.
How far in advance should we book the charter?
Peak season — 1-2 weeks ahead. Regular days — 3 days minimum. Lunar New Year, summer, and public holidays book as early as possible.
