- Okinawa Pref. Yaeyamaguntaketomichou Iriomote
- Ida Beach is located in Funauki on the southwestern part of Iriomote Island. With crystal clear seas and a wide shallow sandy beach, it is also a popular place to bring children for sea bathing. As a result of there being no roads leading to Funauki, the only way to reach is to take a ferry (approximately 10 minutes) from the port of Shirahama. Ida Beach is about 10 minutes on foot from the port of Shirahama.

- Nishibama Beach
- Travel / Tourism
- Okinawa Pref. Shimajirigunzamamison Aka
- "Approximately a five-minute drive from Aka Port, this is the main beach of Aka Island, an island located to the west of the main island of Okinawa. Despite the characters of its name meaning ""north beach,"" they are pronounced as ""nishibama,"" which means ""west beach."" The contrast between the transparent beautiful ocean and the pure white sands that stretch for one kilometer is very appealing. Although lifeguards are only on duty from May to around September, you can enjoy swimming there year-round at your own risk. In addition, it is also extremely popular as a snorkeling spot because of the colorful corals and tropical fish that can be seen. You can also enjoy other marine activities such as diving and sea kayaking."

Okinawa Areas
Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
