• Zamami, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3402, Japan
Situated on the heights of Zamami Village, the Takatsukiyama First Observation Deck is a hidden tourist spot where you can enjoy the stunning views of the Kerama Islands. The beautiful gradient of the sea and sky, along with the scattered islands, never fails to captivate the visitors.
It takes about 30 minutes on foot or 4-5 minutes by electric bicycle from the port to arrive. The process of climbing the mountain trail itself is a wonderful experience where you can feel connected to nature. However, as the path is a slope, it is recommended to visit in comfortable walking shoes.
First Observation Deck: With a spacious area, you can leisurely enjoy the scenery. It is also ideal as a resting spot.
Second Observation Deck: A little further walk will bring you to a spot with a broader view of the sea.
The view of A govillage, the Kerama Strait, and Aka Island from both observation decks is overwhelming.
On the way to the observation deck, you can see a habitat of carnivorous plants known as sundews. For nature enthusiasts, this might be an unexpected discovery.
For camera enthusiasts, this location is ideal for photography. Capturing the beautiful contrast of the sea and sky with the islands in the background will surely become a memorable snapshot.
The blue color of the sea changes with the weather, so a visit on a sunny day is recommended. Also, targeting the most beautiful time of light within the open hours from 9 AM to 5 PM for your visit might be a good idea.
The Takatsukiyama First Observation Deck is a wonderful spot condensed with the charm of Zamami Village. Feel the breath of nature and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Kerama Islands to your heart's content. In this hidden gem, you will surely create unforgettable memories.
