Shigira Resort

Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Miyakojima and uncover a vivid underwater world teeming with life. You don’t need a diving licence to join – an experienced instructor will guide and support you throughout, ensuring you feel confident and safe from the moment you step into the sea. Enter directly from the beach for a relaxed start, perfect for beginners or anyone short on time.

Beneath the surface, you’ll find colourful tropical fish gliding through coral reefs in water so clear it feels surreal. Whether it’s your first dive or your tenth, the experience leaves you wanting more – each descent revealing something new and mesmerising.

Glide over the clear waters of Miyakojima and feel the sea almost within your reach. Kayaking lets you move at your own pace, close enough to watch the ripples change with each paddle stroke. You’ll sense the warmth of the island air, hear the soft splash of water and take in uninterrupted views of the coast.

When the weather is calm, you might spot tropical fish darting beneath you or coral reefs glowing in the shallows. It’s a simple yet captivating way to connect with the island’s natural beauty – no rush, no noise, just you, the kayak and the open sea stretching ahead.

Hop on a bike and ride from Shimojishima Airport towards the famous 17 End, where the runway seems to meet the sea. The road feels endless, bordered by turquoise water on both sides and a breeze that keeps you moving. You’ll pass open stretches of coastline, glimpses of aircraft landing just metres away and the vast blue horizon ahead.

It’s the kind of short ride that refreshes your mind and body before or after a flight. Whether you ride for the view, the breeze or the thrill of open tarmac, this route captures the freedom of Miyakojima in the simplest and purest way possible.
