Points to keep in mind when choosing a sunset spot

Miyako Island is dotted with numerous sunset spots.

Each of these locations varies in distance from and accessibility to airports and city centers, so it can be difficult to choose the right location!

However, the following points should help you find the best sunset spot☆.

Check sunset time

It is important to check the sunset time in advance, as it varies from section to section.

Note that the sun sets earlier, especially in December!

Weather check

Since it is difficult to see the sunset on cloudy or rainy days, it is best to choose a clear day!

Also, in winter, especially in the evening, the wind can become chilly, so it is comfortable to prepare lightweight warm clothing.

 Check the weather forecast frequently.

Transportation

Since public transportation is scarce on Miyako Island, renting a car is a convenient way to access sunset spots!

Since it gets dark after sunset, we recommend using a navigation system to avoid getting lost.
