We spent 2 nights here explored the island. We swam at sunshine beach and had lunch at the small cafes. It was hot but worth it. We saw the shrines and visited the grave of the pirate/sea lord Kuki Yoshitaka his head was buried on the mountain top and his body just below outside of a small cluster of homes. I’d recommend getting a bike to explore, preferably an electric. The hot spring hotel we stayed in was dated but very charming. The food amazing I’ll post a full review of that place.

This island is really charming- walking around the island with the fishermen and diving women sitting out taking care of the daily catch, chatting with them and hearing about their life, seeing the lovely village - the best way to explore island life in Japan.
