Kikaijima, floating in the far reaches of the East China Sea, is blessed with abundant nature. The serenity and beautiful scenery, as if time has stood still, leave a lasting impression. On this island, separated from the mainland, you can experience an extraordinary world different from the everyday.
Torihama, located in the heart of Kikaijima, is one of the most scenic spots on the island. The salt lake, shimmering in emerald green as it reflects the sunlight, looks like a dazzling gem. This high salinity lake is home to the Mioagagai, a species of shellfish that migrates from the sea. The fantastic rock formations surrounding it create an enchanting atmosphere that captivates visitors.
Kikaijima is dotted with traditional Okinawan villages. The sight of the red-tiled houses creates an atmosphere as if time has stood still. Exploring the island may lead you to untouched primeval forests, where you might have the chance to discover valuable endemic species.
The sea surrounding the island is a treasure trove of abundant seafood. Freshly caught seafood, prepared by the islanders, graces the dining table. The island's specialty, "Zaasai," a local dish made with bonito flakes, offers an exquisite taste. Enjoying the island's traditional songs while savoring the finest seafood promises an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
Kikaijima offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a tranquil and unspoiled haven. Embraced by the stunning natural beauty and the hospitality of the islanders, this island is truly the ultimate destination for rejuvenation.
