Overview

Miyakojima & Irabu Bridge — Okinawa Island Loop.

An easy, sun-drenched loop of Miyakojima in Okinawa's southern Sakishima islands, threading white-sand beaches and coral capes. The highlight is the Irabu Ohashi — Japan's longest toll-free bridge — arcing 3.54km across glowing turquoise shallows. Flat, relaxed riding through some of the bluest water in Japan.
