Kerama blue is truly beautiful no matter on cloudy or sunny days. Tokashiki is the biggest of the Kerama islands, but has only 400 residents. Life is simpler than the other Kerama islands. Blessed with beautiful beaches and scenes, but it also has a dark history. On the eve of Battle of Okinawa, American troops were getting ready to land on Tokashiki, the 315 residents were afraid of a massacre, decided to commit mass suicide by grenade instead. A tower and monument was erected to remember them.

收集完慶良間藍，真的是陰天晴天都好美。渡嘉敷島是慶良間諸島裡最大島，但島上只有約四百多位居民，島上也比其他慶良間諸島更加純樸。渡嘉敷島有許多美麗海灘和風景，但也有一段非常黑暗的歷史，在Battle of Okinawa前夕，美軍準備登入島上備戰，但三百一十五位當地居民因擔心美軍的襲擊而決定集體自殺，在島上的北邊設立白玉之塔和集體自決跡地作為紀念。

Transportation | 交通

We didn’t book ferry ticket beforehand, purchased them on the day of. Not that many travelers during the week. From Tomarin port is only about an hour.

我們沒預先訂船票，當天到港口買票。週間沒有很多人，所以我們不擔心船票會售光。和座間味島一樣在那霸Tamarin Port搭船，約一小時就能到。

Dining | 食

Thanks to my friend C for recommending restaurants to us. There aren’t many food options here. Most google searches turn out to be restaurants in Zamami or Naha.

感謝朋友C介紹幾家餐廳，讓我們這趟旅行不用煩惱。這裡食物選項真的不多，在手機上找餐廳，出現的全是座間味島和那霸一帶。

Half 1/2 Time
122 Aharen, Tokashiki, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3502

An instagrammable restaurant, known for their steaks and giant (40 cm) hot dog. An American themed restaurant that is a rarity in Tokashiki. Eccentric is probably how I would describe it.

離島還有網美餐廳，也有牛排和超大份熱狗。美式風格參雜一些很妙的裝飾品，小鎮上很難想像會有一間這樣的餐廳。

居酒屋丸二
86 Aharen, Tokashiki, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3502

Affordable and delicious. Each dish is around ¥500, generous portions, perfect for hungry scuba divers. Will definitely return.

便宜又好吃！每盤幾乎只要500元日幣上下，份量也不小氣，很適合潛水完肚子餓來。下次來一定會再回來的店。

Sea Friend居酒屋
155 Aharen, Tokashiki, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3502

Not satisfied with your first meal? Come here for some late night eats. Right next to our bed and breakfast. We came right before closing. Thankfully we were still served yakitori!

前一頓吃不過癮，我們來民宿附設的居酒屋。謝謝老闆雖然關店了還是讓我們硬凹進去吃串燒，感謝感謝！

Cafe Sea Friend Jr.
346 Tokashiki, 字 Tokashiki, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3501

Is Tokashiki owned by Sea Friend? One of two restaurants near Tokashiki port, but quality is top notch! Oi-shi!

這島被Sea Friend佔領了嗎，連島北邊也能看到他們！這是島北邊唯二的餐廳吧，即使如此食物還是很不錯，算是島上好吃的餐廳！

Accommodation | 住宿

Sea Friend
155 Aharen, Tokashiki, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-3502

My friend C helped us book lodging and diving! All in one dive shop and bed and breakfast. They also provide free shuttle to and from Tokashiki port.

感謝朋友C幫我們訂住宿和潛水行程！潛店附設民宿還包自助式早餐，也有接駁車在港口接送。

Day One | 第一天

Aharen Beach 阿波連ビーチ

Didn’t plan much to do at Tokashiki. Just want to chill and relax! Aharen Beach is just 10 minutes walk from where we stayed. Came here to snorkel. Fishes are big, water crystal clear. But beware, UN saw Titan Trigger Fish again! Maybe it’s winter time in Okinawa, not that many tourists, which also means less restrictions at the beach. The whole beach was our playground.

來渡嘉敷島沒特別安排行程，就想耍廢！民宿離阿波連海灘非常近，走路不到10分鐘。我們來這裡浮潛，魚一樣大隻，水一樣清澈。小心，UN又見到那會咬人的魚（Titan Trigger Fish）！可能是沖繩進入冬天了，人特別少，也沒有游泳管轄範圍，讓我們在大海裡到處游泳找魚玩。

Day Two | 第二天

Sea Friend Diving

Boat dive is so convenient (I probably said this many times!) After our guide briefed us on the dive plan, we jumped right in. First dive was near Tokashiku Beach, and second dive we went to a shipwreck.

船潛就是方便（好像我說了很多次）！船到潛點後，教練Gin解釋海底下的狀況，我們馬上跳水下去。這次教練第一潛帶我們到Tokashiku 看魚，第二潛到南邊看一艘沉在水裡的船。

Day Three | 第三天

We rented a car to explore the rest of the island, drove from south to north and back. Although we didn’t plan out much details, we snorkeled the first day, scuba the second day, and hiked the last day. Quite productive wouldn’t you say!

這天我們租車遊遍整座島，從南開到北，還留了幾個景點下次來看。雖然說是耍廢行程，但我們第一天在海裡浮潛，第二天潛水，第三天爬山，不太軟爛吧！

After visiting two main islands of the Kerama, it’s hard to say which one is better. We like the food selection on Zamami, and the site seeing. Tokashiki is less commercial, preserved much of its remote island culture. Next time you can plan a four day three night trip to Kerama!

拜訪慶良間諸島的兩大島後，實在很難分勝負。我們喜歡座間味島的多種食物選項，完整的景點規劃。渡嘉敷島則非常不商業化，保有離島該有的風格。下次可以來個四天三夜慶良間諸島遊！
