Tokashiki: Recommended Sunset and Stargazing Spots
Tokashiku Beach, Teruyama Viewpoint, Kubandaki Viewpoint, Aharen Beach
From north to south, our four recommendations for enjoying the sunset and the night sky on Tokashiki are: Tokashiku Beach, Teruyama Viewpoint (about midway between Tokashiku and Aharen), Kubandaki Viewpoint, and Aharen Beach. Unless you have rented a car, it is a good idea to go to the place nearest where you are staying.
All four places have spectacular views across the Zamami Island cluster to the uninhabited islands of Kuba and Yakabi. If you want to get maximum enjoyment from the magic hour, why not combine the view from both sea level and higher, by either starting out at Aharen Beach, then making the few minutes’ walk up to the Kubandaki Viewpoint, or doing the same with Tokashiku Beach and the Teruyama Viewpoint?
Of the four, the most remote, and thus the one most suitable for star-gazing, is the Teruyama Viewpoint.
