About This Video
While we covered Taketomi Island back in 2016, we decided this year to give you another go of this amazing little piece of paradise with one of our walking around videos! 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 seem to have touched this unspoiled paradise.
