A Yonaguni resident introduces the spectacular Naama Beach, the westernmost beach in Japan.

My name is Kishikoro and I live in Yonaguni.

There are over 1,000 swimming beaches in Japan, but the one we will introduce this time is Namahama Beach, located at the westernmost point of the country.

This time we will introduce the charms of Namahama Beach, which is surrounded by dynamic cliffs typical of Yonaguni and is close to a fishing port.

Naama Beach Activities

At Naama Beach you can snorkel and do sea turtle training.

However, since it is not a town-designated swimming area, swimming is at your own risk.

None of the beaches in Yonaguni are designated for swimming, but Naama Beach and Nanta Beach are relatively peaceful places to swim.

For more information about Nanta Beach, please refer to the following article.

The author, who lives just a minute's walk from Nanta Beach, will explain in detail. I'm Kishikoro, a resident of Yonaguni Island. There are two beaches on Yonaguni Island, and this time I'll be introducing Nanta Beach. The other one is called Nama Beach, and the names are very similar, so be careful. Both are great beaches.

The waves are a little rough, but the ocean views are beautiful, and there are various beaches such as Dannu Beach and Rokujo Beach.

I think Rokujo Beach is the most beautiful beach in Japan when viewed from above.

An immigrant introduces Rokujo Beach, the most beautiful beach he has ever seen in his life. I'm Kishikoro, a resident of Yonaguni. Yonaguni Island has few shallow coral reefs, typical of Okinawa, and is a unique island with a deep-sea topography that suddenly turns into the sea from steep cliffs.

Naama Beach where the sunset is also beautiful

Naama Beach is on the west side of the island, so there are times when you can see beautiful sunsets.

Looking west from the beach, it just looks like a steep cliff, so I recommend leaving the beach and going towards the fishing port to see it.

Nanta Beach and Nama Beach. Although the names are similar, they are on opposite sides of the island, so be careful not to confuse them when meeting people.
