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. The surrounding sea has very high transparency, and nature tours strolling through emerald green shallows are very popular among international tourists. In the overwhelming silence completely free from commercialization, it is a hidden gem spot where you can bathe in the pleasant sea breeze with your whole body and monopolize the wild sea energy of the earth.
