Kurobana Beach

Kurobana Beach, standing quietly in the northeastern part of Yoron Island, is a coastal scenic spot with a dynamic landscape where rugged, wild Ryukyu limestone rocks, carved by the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean over staggering years, and fine white sandy beaches weave alternately. This is a place of historical romance where the island's unique traditional wooden boats (Sabani) once came and went, and a somewhat nostalgic feeling drifts.

When you stand on the hill, a 360-degree large screen without any obstructions spreads out, and on a sunny day, you can overlook even the beautiful silhouettes of Okinawa Main Island and surrounding...
