Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of this pristine island, known for its well-preserved traditional Okinawan village.
Begin your journey by hopping on a water buffalo cart, a traditional mode of transportation that has been used on the island for centuries. As you sit back and relax on the cart, pulled by a gentle water buffalo, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Take in the picturesque landscapes, passing through sandy paths lined with traditional thatched-roof houses and vibrant bougainvillea flowers.

Listen to the rhythmic sound of the water buffalo's hooves as you traverse the island's narrow streets, taking in the sights and sounds of daily life in this traditional village.
For those seeking a unique perspective of the island's marine beauty, opt for the glass boat trip. Hop aboard a glass-bottom boat and set sail on crystal-clear waters, allowing you to witness the vibrant underwater world beneath you. Marvel at the colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and other fascinating marine life that call these waters home.
The glass boat trip provides a fantastic opportunity for snorkelers and non-swimmers alike to explore the island's marine ecosystem without getting wet. With a transparent bottom, the boat offers uninterrupted views of the underwater world, allowing you to get up close and personal with nature's wonders.
Whether you choose the water buffalo cart trip, the glass boat trip, or both, a visit to Taketomi Island promises a truly authentic and unforgettable experience.

After your adventure, take some time to explore the island further. Wander through the narrow streets and discover quaint shops selling local crafts and souvenirs. Indulge in delicious Okinawan cuisine at one of the island's charming restaurants, where you can savor traditional dishes made with fresh seafood and local produce.
