The last couple of weeks have been pretty traditional travel photos but this week will be all selfies from our trips. And today’s is from Miyako Island. We stopped while driving by here because it looked so nice

Around Miyako Island you will see these figures of Mamoru-kun, a traffic safety officer who promotes safe driving. Although they’re all referred to as Mamoru-kun I think technically only one of them is Mamoru-kun and the others have different names. I don’t think this is the main Mamoru-kun but I’m not sure which it is

We went on a night walk one night and got to see some coconut crabs. They were big but not as big as this coconut crab mural that we saw while we were walking around the town

We didn’t spend much time in town but we had a little time before our flight on the day we left so we wandered around a little. One of the places we went was the Miyako-jinja Shrine. While obviously not as big as some of the shrines in cities like Tokyo or Osaka it was still nice to visit

The first beach we saw, although didn’t swim at, was Painagama Beach. It was close to our hotel so we saw it most days, including on our last day after dinner when we stopped to look at the ocean

This is the beach we went to on our last day on Miyako Island. It was recommended to us by our snorkeling guide and is actually on next door Shimoji Island, which is reachable by car and where the airport we flew into and out of is

We were on an island so we obviously spent a lot of time at the beach. One day we were driving around the southern part of the island and stopped at a couple of places, including this beach, on our way to a lighthouse

Our flight back to Shenzhen was later in the day so we got to see a couple of things before we had to go back to the airport. We saw a shrine, wandered around the town (called Hirara maybe?), had lunch, and then took photos with the airport Pokemon art before our flight left

Although we usually visit islands to go to the beach we don’t spend all of our time there, and our trip to Miyako Island was no different. We also saw mangroves, a lighthouse, and wetlands

Our last trip of 2025, during China’s National Day holiday, was to Miyako Island, which is part of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. Hong Kong currently has direct flights there and we jumped at the chance to go back to some Okinawan islands. Obviously we spent quite a lot of time at the beach

We didn’t want to miss the lighthouse because lighthouses usually have great views of the ocean

We stopped at Ingya Marine Garden Park early on in the trip after seeing a sign and deciding to stop

A memorial service was held for the 10 victims of April's GSDF helicopter crash in Okinawa Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/18/national/memorial-service-gsdf-chopper-crash/?utm_content=bufferd530d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #japan #okinawa #defense #sdf #gsdf #miyakoisland

A major part of the wreckage of a Self-Defense Forces helicopter that went missing in early April has been hauled from the seabed by a salvage company. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/02/national/japan-sdf-helicopter-wreckage/?utm_content=bufferaaea1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #japan #okinawa #sdf #gsdf #miyakoisland

The GSDF has announced that Lt. Gen. Yuichi Sakamoto, the commanding general of its 8th Division, was one of the five people confirmed dead after a helicopter went down off Okinawa’s Miyako Island with 10 aboard. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/04/21/national/gsdf-okinawa-yuichi-sakamoto/?utm_content=buffer0d8c5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #news #japan #okinawa #sdf #gsdf #miyakoisland

Two more bodies have been recovered from the seabed wreckage of a Self-Defense Forces helicopter that went missing in early April, the government has said, with the search for the missing continuing into Tuesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/04/18/national/okinawa-helicopter-bodies/?utm_content=buffer2deb9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #okinawa #defense #sdf #irabuisland #miyakoisland #news #japan

The SDF was continuing efforts to locate the others who had been aboard the helicopter after the first official confirmation of deaths since the chopper disappeared earlier this month. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/04/17/national/sdf-chopper-recovery-efforts/?utm_content=bufferf73cc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #okinawa #defense #sdf #irabuisland #miyakoisland #japan #news

The Ground Self-Defense Force announced Sunday that five bodies and a major part of a helicopter that went missing last week off Okinawa were discovered during a deep-sea diving search mission. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/04/16/national/okinawa-helicopter-bodies-found/?utm_content=buffera0eab&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #okinawa #sdf #gsdf #miyakoisland #news #japan
