Taketomi Island
The main attraction of Taketomi is the beautifully preserved traditional village of Ryuku. Thanks to the awesome preservation effort, you can see that all the traditional Ryuku homes preserved today; the familiar red tile roofs and stone walls. Some of the houses are minshuku accommodations, so you can actually live in one of these traditional homes and be immersed in the culture and life.
Life in Taketomi is so laid back and slow, you can even take a ride on a ox cart. It’s quite enjoyable and relaxing, as expected from a sleepy laid back town in Taketomi Island.
