Hi, I’m Tabi!
Taketomi Town spans several islands; this guide focuses on two shores on Taketomi Island. Check ferries, your return sailing and island transport, and respect private property and sacred spaces.
This guide covers places within Taketomi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

A first-visit stop
Kondoi Beach
コンドイ浜
A shore of white sand and shallow water, photographed in 2009. There are no lifeguards; calm-looking water does not guarantee safe swimming. Check wind, currents and local notices, and leave sand and wildlife in place.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Next to Kondoi, this shore is also known for star-shaped sand. Official information warns of fast currents, so this is not a route into the water. Explore permitted shoreline and shade quietly, observing star sand without taking it away.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Consider Yaeyama soba on the island. Tourism information lists a soba shop on Taketomi Island, but this guide does not guarantee current opening or prices. Check broth, toppings and allergens such as wheat.
