Kumejima 
Approximately 90 kilometres west of the Okinawa mainland sits the island of Kume. This small island is has a lush green interior with mountains and fields with white sand beaches leading into the subtropical waters.
Like the rest of the region, the Ryukyu culture shines through everywhere you travel in Kume, but is more obvious with the ancient Uegusuku Castle which overlooks the island 300 metres above sea level. The sandy beaches invite relaxation and the warm sea brings diverse coral and marine life making for some fantastic snorkelling or diving. Hatenohama Beach is a sandbar which literally sits out from the rest of the beaches on the island and is just a short boat ride away and there are a number of interesting rock formations across the island adding to Kume's natural beauty.
Kume is either a four hour ferry ride from Okinawa's main city of Naha or a 35 minute flight to the islands small airport.
