Ferries depart from Naha Port and other ports within the prefecture, and travel times and fares vary by island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferry reservations can be made online or by phone. Airplanes depart from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/naha-airport-to-kokusai-dori-drive-time-okinawa\/\">Naha Airport<\/a> to various islands. Flight time is shorter, but costs are typically higher. Flight bookings can be made via airline websites or travel agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For access to each remote island from Okinawa\u2019s main island, it is recommended to check the <span class=\"__text_accent2\">latest information and choose according to your schedule<\/span>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each transportation method has its characteristics, so be sure to consider your budget, time, and convenience to choose the best option for your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DJI_0166irabu_TP_V-e1702648101959.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3370 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DJI_0166irabu_TP_V-e1702648101959.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id='traveling-by-ferry'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"main-head\" >Traveling by Ferry<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"__text_accent1\">There are many ferry routes available, and travel time and cost vary. Ferries are recommended for those looking to save on costs.<\/span> Ferries to Tokashiki Island, the closest remote island to Okinawa Main Island, depart from Naha Port. Travel time is around 30 minutes, and round-trip fares are about 2,000 yen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferries to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/miyakojima-weather-seasons\/\">Miyako Island<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/okinawa-islands-daytrip-drive\/\">Ishigaki<\/a> Island also depart from Naha Port. Travel time to Miyako is around 4 hours, with a round-trip fare of about 6,000 yen. To Ishigaki, it takes about 10 hours and costs approximately 10,000 yen round-trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also possible to explore multiple islands by ferry. For instance, from Ishigaki Island, ferries to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island operate regularly. To Iriomote, it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, with a round-trip fare of approximately 3,000 yen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Taketomi Island, it takes about 15 minutes and costs around 1,000 yen round-trip. Be sure to check the latest schedules and fares in advance when using ferries. <span class=\"__text_accent2\">Note that ferry services may be limited due to weather and seasonal conditions<\/span><span class=\"__text_accent2\">, so it\u2019s crucial to stay up to date.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id='traveling-by-plane'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"main-head\" >Traveling by Plane<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flying is the <span class=\"__text_accent2\">fastest and most convenient way<\/span> to travel to the remote islands around Okinawa\u2019s main island.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common to use <span class=\"__text_accent2\">connecting flights from Naha Airport<\/span>. By flying, you can save time and travel efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"__text_accent1\"><strong>costs tend to be higher than ferries<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct flights from Naha Airport are available to six islands: Miyako, Ishigaki, Kume, Yonaguni, Kitadaito, and Minamidaito.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id='effects-of-season-and-weather'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" class=\"main-head\" >Effects of Season and Weather<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, seasons and weather conditions greatly impact transportation to and from Okinawa and the surrounding islands.

Flights and ferries may be canceled due to approaching or passing typhoons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, during the peak summer season, the number of tourists increases, making it more difficult to secure transportation. <span class=\"__text_accent1\"><strong>It is important to plan your island travel with attention to seasonal and weather factors and confirm the latest updates<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id='best-transportation-options-on-the-islands'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" class=\"main-head\" >Best Transportation Options on the Islands<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the islands, buses and rental cars are commonly used for getting around.
