Miyakojima is a low coral island in Okinawa known for its clear waters and long beaches. Miyako Airport and the island's port connect it to the mainland.
Miyako was part of the Ryukyu Kingdom and long paid tribute through Okinawa's main island. Long bridges built in recent decades now link it to neighboring islets.
