We almost moved to Tanegashima in 2020. In fact it was our first choice before we went to Ikijima. Still, this island has all the vibes of a remote island. Almost as soon as I got off the ferry it felt like time slowed down and relaxation set in. There are differences though... this place is much further south, thus different plant-life and Ryukyu influence. Very cool!

For those that don't know, here is my history with ritō:
