Sightseeing around RISONARE Kohamajima | An island trip where nature and your heart resonate
It's about a 30-minute ferry ride from Ishigaki Island.
The moment I stepped onto Kohama Island, where time flows slowly, the color of the sky and the sound of the wind felt somehow special.
Spend a relaxing time surrounded by the breeze and light on Kohama Island.
All around you you will find untouched nature and traditional island life.
Rather than a tourist attraction, this is a journey where you can entrust your heart to each and every landscape .
Feel the heartbeat of the island while cycling
Once you leave the resort and start pedaling, sugarcane fields and the vast sky will spread out before you.
Leaves swaying in the sunlight, cumulonimbus clouds visible in the distance, and the occasional peacock crossing the road.
On this road, where there are almost no artificial sounds, it feels as if you can even hear the quiet sound of your own heartbeat.
Just by running and feeling the wind, you will find that your mind will naturally become lighter.
The cinematic scenery you'll encounter on "Sugar Road"
Lush green sugarcane fields line both sides of the straight road.
Illuminated by the tropical sunshine, each leaf reflects the light.
There are no signs or guideposts here, but it is this ruggedness that enhances the island's inherent beauty.
It's a quiet road that gives you the illusion of being transported to a scene from a movie.
The gradation of the sea and sky seen from Mt. Otake
After passing through the tunnel of trees and climbing a gentle staircase, we were greeted by a breathtaking view that left us speechless.
The view from Odake, the highest peak on Kohama Island, is of the ocean with its gradations stretching out to the horizon, and the calm sea surface dotted with islands.
The wind gently caresses your cheeks, and you can hear the sound of the waves in the distance.
Forgetting time for a moment and simply admiring the scenery was the ultimate reward.
A peaceful afternoon stroll through the village
This quiet village lined with old houses has a rustic atmosphere that is not typical of tourist destinations.
Flowers blooming between the white stone walls, a cat dozing in the shade of a tree, and an old lady watering the plants in her garden.
The feeling of gently coming into contact with the lives of the people who live here adds depth to your journey.
It may be these ordinary scenes that make you think, "I want to come back again."
Summary | Listen to the sound of the wind and become one with the island
White sand beaches and sugarcane fields stretching into the sky. Peacock feathers shining in the sunlight and the smell of the wind blowing through the village.
On Kohama Island, you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also the atmosphere.

Irreplaceable time spent with nature.
