Miyakojima: 4 Nights, 5 Days of Adventures & Expenses
These days,
there's no need to travel all the way to the Maldives.
Just a 2-hour direct flight from Incheon,
to Miyakojima, Japan's Maldives!
because a trip there awaits!
With incredible food, stunning sights, and diverse marine life,
this trip was one where
even the scorching sun was forgotten the moment you dove into the ocean~
It truly was the ultimate vacation!
For Miyakojima, I highly recommend going for as long as possible, even if it means using up your vacation days!
Each beach spot has a different vibe,
and it's fun to 'collect them all' like a stamp rally,
and because the Yabiji tour is an absolute must-do!!
I rented a car for 2 nights and traveled without one for the remaining 3 nights,
so I'll share information about accommodations you can reach even without a car,
and also share the expenses!
Miyakojima Hotels
Miyakojima 4-Night, 5-Day Trip Expenses
Honestly, I spent the most time choosing accommodation for this trip,
A hotel in the ~$69 range that satisfies everyone was
the only one that truly ticked all the boxes!
(Luxury resorts were too expensive, at around ~$552.)
✓ Twin room available for around ~$69 per person
✓ Has a swimming pool
✓ Easy access to airport bus stop
✓ Within walking distance to downtown restaurants
These four points perfectly aligned,
making it the ideal accommodation in Miyakojima even without a rental car!

Check-in 3 PM, Check-out 11 AM |
• Free rental car parking • Airport bus stop 2-minute walk |
If you're planning to explore this island
without a car, then
Hotel Locus, with its convenient airport bus shuttle access,
is your best bet!
While Hilton also has a bus service,
it's quite a distance to the downtown restaurants,
meaning you'd have to travel back into town.
Hotel Locus, however,
is perfectly located, with all nearby delicious eateries within a 10-minute walk!
It's truly the best hotel for exploring the area!
What's more, the twin rooms are
great value for money, starting from around ~$69, so
you can save a good amount on your travel expenses!
Every room boasts an
ocean view, allowing you to fully soak in the stunning 'Miyako Blue'~^^
You can book a twin room from ~$69 per person using the link below.
If you're looking for a more affordable option, I recommend the double room (from ~$35 per person)!

The Reason for a Miyakojima Trip
=
Yabiji
A trip to Miyakojima
is truly for the Yabiji tour.
It's all about that.
Where the sky and sea are indistinguishable,
this scenery...
In Miyakojima,
for tours that cater to Koreans,
PADA Miyakojima
is the company to go to.
The underwater photos they take are of much better quality
than those taken with a phone waterproof case,
and they even do drone photography!
The results were absolutely satisfying.
🐢For the Turtle Tour,
they assign one guide per group,
so you can enjoy it safely.
It would be great for families with kids!
* What's even better about this company
is that
when you rent a car,
they offer free rental of picnic mats, camping chairs, and parasols.
Even a cooler is free to rent,
so for Miyakojima tours + car rental,
there's probably no better place than this, haha!

Anyone who says there are no good restaurants in Miyakojima is totally lying!!
The downtown area is absolutely packed with amazing eateries, LOL!
From Hotel Locus,
it's just a 5-10 minute walk,
or a taxi ride for around ¥500, so
getting around is super easy.
You can even grab a quick dinner and then take a taxi back to your accommodation at night!
Just in case anyone needs it,
I'll leave a Google Map link here...!
Choosing Miyakojima for my summer vacation
was truly a stroke of genius~
Apparently, it's the perfect season for snorkeling and spotting turtles
until October this year,
So if you're interested,
make sure to book in advance!
