#EnjoyJapan This was my first time at Kumejima Airport, and it was a very relaxing space. It's not a big airport, but the atmosphere is laid back and you gradually get the feeling that you're on an island. The shop is lined with local sweets and specialties, and it's fun to choose something that might be a good souvenir. I got the popular **Yuko's Sata Andagi**. The aroma of brown sugar spreads softly and it's really delicious, so please check it out! Another attraction is the size of the bag, which allows you to feel the sea breeze until just before boarding the plane. It's an airport full of local atmosphere, and you won't want to go home.

#EnjoyJapan Departing from Haneda Airport, we transferred in Naha and arrived at Kumejima around 13:30! At the airport, we had a snack of course with "Yuko's Sata Andagi". The sweetness and the aroma of brown sugar were just amazing. From the airport, we took a bus to our accommodation, "Marechi House". It was a quiet and relaxing space, so we dropped off our luggage and went for a walk. We relaxed at the Fureai Hiroba and looked out at the ocean, then moved to Shinri Beach for the sunset. The light shining through the clouds was so fantastic that I was speechless... At night, we had handmade Kumejima soba noodles at the inn. Using local ingredients, it was simple but flavorful.

#Japan Travel - Location: Kumejima Island, Okinawa Prefecture - Address: 566-2 Kitahara, 字 Kumejima, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3133 - How to get there: Transfer to domestic flight from Naha Airport, Okinawa, 30 minutes - Features: Boarding on foot without a boarding bridge, a really small but fully equipped unique souvenir shop, a small shop in the waiting room This is the gateway to Kumejima, a small island in Okinawa that you can't help but love. This airport has 3 floors, but it's actually only 1 floor, and since only 50-seat airplanes fly, there's no separate boarding gate, so you have to walk to board. However, the airport building itself boasts a very unique exterior, and the souvenir shop inside has all of Kumejima's specialties, and in particular, the old-fashioned shop in the waiting room before boarding is full of various snacks, including coffee and Blue Seal ice cream. As the slogan “An island that can become zero” suggests, this is an island where you can experience healing from nothing. Highly recommended!!!! #FamilyTravel #OkinawaTravel #HotPlace

#OkinawaTourism What!? Kumejima Airport was so beautiful... I was looking at the ocean until the last minute before boarding☺️ It's convenient because there are power outlets!
