[2025 Iheya Attraction] Travel Guide for Iheyajima Island (Updated Jul)

I've been to many places around the world, but I've never seen such a crystal clear blue sea! Iheya Island in Okinawa is a place where you can see such a spectacular view🏝️ It is located 80 minutes by ferry from Unten Port in northern Okinawa. The sea, which is said to be Iheya Blue, is really perfect for snorkeling and diving. You can get around the island by rental bicycle or community bus, so you don't need to rent a car🙆♂️ There are private lodgings and guest houses on the island, and one of its features is that it is easy to interact with the islanders. You can enjoy warm hospitality and island cuisine! #IntroducingJapan'sSpectacularViews

Iheya Island is the northernmost remote island of Okinawa. It can be reached by ferry from Unten Port in the northern part of Okinawa's main island in about 80 minutes. There are two ferries a day, but it is difficult to make a day trip, so you will need to stay overnight. This time, we will introduce you to a place to stay when you visit Iheya Island. [Hotel Nishie] is located about a 10-minute walk from Iheya Terminal. It is a homely hotel with a guesthouse feel. It was a convenient place to stay, with a beach right in front of it and a supermarket next door. The rooms were renovated in 2019, so the rooms were clean and comfortable to relax in. We stayed in a twin Western-style room with a bathroom and toilet, but there seemed to be several room types, so please choose one that suits your needs. And if you stay at Nishie, you should definitely add breakfast and dinner. The dinner was so luxurious that you would never think it was a guesthouse meal. We were able to enjoy island meals made with seasonal organic vegetables and freshly caught fish. Breakfast is served in a buffet style, but I was impressed by how delicious the food was, freshly made without cutting corners. It was great that I could have seconds of this delicious food! Despite being a guesthouse on a remote island, you can enjoy delicious food. If you visit Iheya Island, I highly recommend staying here.

Iheya Island is an hour and 20 minute ferry ride away from the northern part of Okinawa's main island. It's famous for its beautiful ocean, but it also has a few tourist spots. This is Kumaya Cave, and it's said to be the southernmost location of the "Amanoiwato Legend," which is said to be one of the many remaining locations throughout Japan, where Amaterasu Omikami hid in a cave because she couldn't bear to watch the gods fight. It's been designated as a natural monument of Okinawa Prefecture. When I went inside, I got a headache, probably because of the strong power... Some of the people who went with me also said they got headaches, so maybe it was the power? I don't know, but when you leave the cave, the beautiful ocean spreads out before you and the view is amazing.

Iheya Island is located about an hour north by ferry from the northern part of Okinawa's main island. This time, we will explain how to get there. First, you need to go to Unten Port, which is about two hours from Naha. There is a bus, but it takes a very long time, so if you have a car, we recommend going by car. You cannot reserve the ferry, so when you arrive at the port, first buy a ticket and then board. There are various places to sit, such as seats, seats where you can lie down, and seats like a half terrace, so find a place you like. There are also outlets in the places where you can lie down. It is also a point to pass the Kouri Bridge on the way. On the ship, you can only buy drinks, so if you need anything, don't forget to buy it at the port. #OkinawaTourism#OkinawaTrip#Okinawa#OkinawaTrip#IheyaIsland

It's called a hotel, but is it more of a guesthouse? This is the regular place I stay when I go to Iheya Island. I've only stayed in the detached building, but it has bunk beds, a refrigerator, and a spacious room that is comfortable. The restroom is also nearby. It is always kept clean. The good thing about guesthouses is that the food is good. When you go to remote islands (because there are almost no hotels), you tend to stay at guesthouses. The food here is also voluminous, and they offer a slightly different menu every day. There is also a shop right next to it, so it's convenient.
