Best Season

Best Time to Visit Miyakojima

For the beach

From late June, when the rainy season ends, to September is the best beach season. However, the island often lies in the path of typhoons at this time.

For comfortable weather

Spring and autumn aren't too hot, so you can enjoy drives, island hopping and, on sunny days, the sea.
