Taketomi Island

Last week we gave you the chance to experience, albeit virtually, Taketomi’s most amazing beaches. Today we will guide you to the Taketomi crown jewel: its main village. With only 323 inhabitants, Taketomi is a very small village that triples in population during summer. Famous for its perfectly preserved “Okinawa” style houses and sandy streets, Taketomi shines by its simple way of life where time seems to have stopped and where the madness of the world does not seems to have touched this unspoiled paradise.
