About Miyako Island Route Buses
The bus routes running in Miyakojima City are provided by four operators: Miyako Kyoei Bus, Yachiyo Bus, Kyowa Bus, and Chuo Kotsu.
Miyako Kyoei Bus and Yachiyo Bus are operators with bus routes from Miyako Island to Kuruma Island and Ikema Island. Both buses operate from "Hirara," but the bus stop is at Hirara Port, which is a bit far away if you want to visit Hirara Beach or other places.
Since Kyowa Bus is the operator with bus routes to Irabu Island, it is recommended to use these three bus operators when visiting other islands in Miyako Island.
The routes by bus operator are as follows
Chouboku-Sanboku Line (Taira to Jobe)
Tomori Line (Taira - Jobe)
Yonaha/Kadekari Line (Taira - Shimoji)
Niisato-Miyakuni Line (Taira - Ueno)
Miyako Shimojishima Airport Resort Line (Irabu - Shimoji)
