Waking up early from a stay on the small island of YAGAJI, just before reaching KOURI Island, offered a peaceful, homey atmosphere by the sea. Preparing to capture the sunrise, the scene unfolded as beautifully as expected.

After breakfast at the accommodation, we left the island to cross to another famous island….KOURI ISLAND…..There is a beautiful bridge across the island…..We stopped to take pictures and took aerial photos with a drone.

On the island, we drove around to the back of the island to see the heart-shaped rock in the sea...HEART ROCKS and stopped at a beautiful view cafe along the way..... Before leaving the island, be sure to stop by the tower at the foot of the bridge on the way out of the island....The view is amazing, the entrance fee is 800 yen.

The sentence is empty.

Departing Ko Uri Island around noon, we decided to alter our course and avoid sailing north to Cape HED. We reasoned that the view wouldn't be significantly different, and the 100km round trip would be too time-consuming. Instead, we turned south, opting for the western route to avoid retracing our steps. After sailing 60km, we stopped at the Southeast Botanic Garden to admire the beautiful flowers.


Steer down for another 20 km, then drive across to HENZA, MIYAKI, and HAMAHIGA islands, respectively. Have lunch at HENZA Island around 2 pm.

After driving around the island, we drove back to the mainland for 10 km to reach the KATSUREN Castle ruins, another World Heritage Site. We stopped by for a quick look.

My journey is nearing Naha City, the starting point of my trip. I will enter Naha City this evening to prepare for my return.

The hotel is located approximately 30 kilometers from the castle ruins, and it takes about an hour to reach the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located on Kokusai Street, near shopping and dining areas.

Upon arriving at the accommodation, I relaxed and waited for dusk before heading out to dine and capture the illuminated scenery at UMIKAJI TERRACE on SENAGA Island. You might recall this location, as I visited it on the first day, but during the daytime.


Unfortunately, it rained heavily this evening, so I could only take a few photos before rushing back to my accommodation. The rain didn't stop until 9 pm, so I went out shopping on Kokusai Street, which is near my accommodation.
