Zamami: Recommended Sunset and Stargazing Spots
Marilyn Statue, Kaminohama Viewpoint, and Inazaki Viewpoint
The sea wall beside the statue of the dog Marilyn—just 10 minutes on foot along the coast road to the west of Zamami Harbor—is a popular place with locals and tourists to unwind while contemplating the sunset.
If you prefer a more remote location, why not make the trek to Kaminohama, a 40-minute walk from Zamami Harbor (or 20 minutes from Ama Beach) to watch the sun setting behind the uninhabited island of Yakabi in the west. The observation deck at Kaminohama has recently been rebuilt entirely from wood.
If you want to experience that “top of the world” feeling, make your way to the Inazaki Viewpoint on the north of the island. This viewpoint, which takes 50 minutes to get to from Zamami on foot, is the highest of the island’s four viewpoints at around 120 meters above sea level. On a clear day, you can see Kume Island, 50 kilometers away to the west.
