Japan’s most beautiful island ? Miyakojima Island Trip in December.

Is it worth going to Okinawa in winter?
Okinawa can be cool in winter actually. Pools are closed. Should we still go to Okinawa in winter? I had a chance to visit Miyakojima island in mid December, and explored the island.
I went to several different locations in Miyako island (Miyakojima) and surrounding islands.
What to know about Miyakojima
Miyakojima is attractive because of its strong access from Tokyo by having two airports in the region. The beaches of Miyakojima is more beautiful with white powdery sands, comparing with beaches of Okinawa main islands or Ishigaki Islands.
Miyakojima is
- good for who likes ...
Nature, casual resort stay, a peaceful time in the small country side island.
- Not for who likes ...
1. Activities- such as sight seeing. You can enjoy more in Okinawa main island.
2. Party- Few night seen in Miyakojima, if you want to dress up and go out, stay in the Naha in Okinawa main island, or ... maybe that's not what you can expect in Japan.
3. Luxury hotel stay. Tokyu Hotel is not 5 star. No room service, no pool service. Definitely not for executives who are used to 5 star class service in Bali or Thailand. Miyakojima still lucks the number of hotels until they open Hilton and Rosewood. Meanwhile, I recommend you to go to Okinawa and stay at Halekulani.

    for a whole month i've looked at the live camera's for naha and miyako and ishigaki and the weather always seems better on miyako and ishigaki. Thats for the month of may in 2022. It will be pouring rain in naha and only a little cloudy further south. Maybe its something only this year? If its that way every year, i'de say the weather is better there in winter and summer

    Yes, it happened several times to me that Miyako is sunny even when Naha is raining. It looked like it was raining all the time in Okinawa this May. Usually Okinawa's rainy season is from mid May to late June, but it started early this year. The best season is said that later April or July before typhoon season starts, but it's just possibility. In my experience, sometimes it's sunny even if the weather app says it's raining where I am, sometimes beach is sunny when Naha is raining. It's difficult to predict the weather in Okinawa, while the weather is so important for Okinawa trip. :(

    I think it will be much easier with a car, but if you are staying at a big resort like Tokyu Resort or Hilton, you can just spend time in the hotel once you get there. From Miyakojima airport, Tokyu has shuttle bus.

    I didn't take any snorkelling tour in this trip but I read that you can do snorkeling all around the year in Miyakojima. If you have wet suites, you don't really feel the temparature of cold water.
