A Ryukyu Summer
The sea extension in the catalogue, to add at the end of a main circuit: a subtropical archipelago with its own Ryukyu culture, and the clearest sea in Japan.
The points that matter.
The turquoise sea of the Kerama Islands, known as Kerama Blue
Snorkelling accessible directly from the beach
Compatible with most signature circuits
The most typhoon-exposed extension, June to October, keep a backup plan
Le programme
A Ryukyu Summer
After a flight to Naha and a first look at the covered shopping streets of the city centre, three nights on the Kerama Islands, thirty-five minutes away by fast boat, open onto Zamami and Tokashiki and their turquoise sea known as Kerama Blue. Swimming, snorkelling and diving are all possible straight from the beach. This extension pairs naturally with most signature circuits ending in Tokyo or Kansai, except From Temples to Coral, which already includes this sequence.
