- Yonaguni island is about 2000km away from Tokyo, but just 111km away from Taiwan. This is the most extreme west place in Japan. The population is 1697 in April 2021. It was the most magical place I have ever been to in Japan. Being on the island already feels special. There are no hospitals, supermarkets, convenience stores, life on the island is not convenient, but it still attracts many travellers. The sounds are sometimes weird because of the strong winds and my poor equipment. Sorry about that.
There will be part 2 if I am not too lazy.

I'm from Indonesia, and I really respect your videos. I accidentally opened the map application on my cellphone then I explored Japan via the map, and found the westernmost point in Japan, Then I opened it on youtube and found the right video, maybe we feel the same way we feel the joys and sorrows of an island country, that is, to foreign small islands.
sama, iseng mainan gmap nemu ini pulau wkwkwkw
Same i from indonesia
Bedanya apa ? Disana setiap pulaunya bersih, meski beda budaya dari honsu atau pulau utama tapi culture bersihnya tuh merata .
I would love to visit this place! Your channel litterly is a hidden gem. I hope your channel will get more recognition soon!
Had the privilege of visiting this amazing little island back in November 2019. It was such an quaint, peaceful place. Seeing all the animals roaming free was quite the sight too. Hope to visit the island again some day! Cheers from Australia!!
I was just checking how far West Taiwan and Taiwan was from each other when I saw this Island. Zoomed in and saw there are resorts and an airport so I got interested to find out if someone was showing this on youtube. Thank you for the video!
I love how, despite all of the hills, the people chose to let the horses do their own thing and not ride them around the island.
Hi from Amsterdam :)
Beautiful video, thanks so much for making it. I enjoyed it a lot.
I like way you shot this video and talked about stuff. Seems genuine and not fake.
Thank you for filming I have seen a lot of furthest Japanese island on my BIG screen now : )
This was a beautifully crafted cinematic tour, thank you
I miss the people of Okinawa. I lived in Naha for 3 years (mid 70s) while I studied Karate under one of the most wonderful people I've ever met, Shugoro Nakazato. He died a few years back, just shy of 100 years old. What a life that man lived. He was (literally) a historical treasure by being listed as an "intangible cultural asset holder" of Japan. Pretty cool.
I should have done more island hopping while I was there. The scuba diving was so nice it was almost too good to be real.
Thanks for uploading this great video. I intend to go to Ishigaki during Golden Week and after watching your video I decided to follow your hints and go to Yonaguni too.
such a scenic & relaxing location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Iovely video too
Good video! looking forward to see more !💙
Such a beautiful place. It is so breathtaking. I hope go there someday!
I just found your channel from TikTok and I really appreciate how well shot your vlogs are, keep it up!👏
I live in Taiwan. Fascinated by islands so close. Yet culturally so different.
I got curious about this island being so close to Taiwan and wondered if it would get Taiwanese influence. After watching this video I can see it's 100% Japanese
@@JeremySmith-rb9cc amazing aye. Right down to the vending machines and local beers. Kirin beer and suntory coffee as opposed to Taiwan beer etc.
So relaxing! You should definitely upload another part :')
Very beautiful spot! I'd love to go visit someday! Great vlog too!
Looks really chill...I bet it would be great to chill out for a few days and just take my time riding a bike around from one side to the other and stopping every now and then to relax and enjoy the local scenery.
So amazing I just learned about this island today! Japan is much bigger than I thought!
It's amazing to discover this about Japan. I would love to visit but might be logistically difficult so thank you for showing us this
Ugh! Lovely! Thank you for putting all the names on the screen.
Great video, I would love to go there!
My grandma immigrated from Yonaguni island to Brazil back in the 1950s. My dream is to someday visit the island and see with my own eyes the root of my family and where my blood came from.
My mom born there also. Wondering what’s your family’s name? My mom is Arihama. My mom born there 1937 and lived in Okinawa.
check your DNA maybe similiar to MALAY people
Glad to be back in japan? beautiful video
Thats a peaceful naturel island~☆ lovely color shades of water.
Cool video! You captured the slow pace and the feel of the island so well. Maybe easier to get to from Taiwan if there was a ferry.
What a lovely place. It must be peaceful there
Nice video! Hi from Amsterdam ✌️😁
Damn, that’s one beautiful island
Great ❤️❤️❤️
2:07 OMg your ferry in Japan is so beautiful and classy
Bro i literally thought this video had at least half million views, its quality is soo amazing and relaxing
I'm from Indonesia also, and I really respect your videos. I accidentally opened the map application on my computer then I explored Japan via the map, Then I opened it on youtube and found the right video which very interesting to watch,
anyway I didn't see many people live here right?
I love this place
Thanks for taking us on this lovely excursion tour. 👍👍 It's good to see you exploring (new) places in Japan. It's quite a change from exploring The Netherlands, or other places in Europe, right? Do you occasionally think of the time you lived in Amsterdam? I hope you brought home some nice memories of my country. I look forward to watching part 2 of your Okinawa tour. Groeten (greetings) from The Netherlands. 👋👋
Yes, I often think about that! I would like to visit Europe again when it is possible and The Netherlands will be of course one of the destinations:)
It's mid night in my country,and I found you ,guide to paradise for me.
So funny to see the grocery bag of the dutch supermarkt!
very cool
Cool
Thank you for this video it's nice to see the island and get tips before visiting. 😄
Are there multiple ferries each day or is it one a day?
How much was the scooter to rent? 😄
I was checking on the map to know which countries is the nearest on taiwan. Then came to my surprise that japan is the nearest. I'm glad i found this vid to know what life on yonaguni
gives me something of romantic feeling tho like chilling peaceful ideal place for living with your significant other and running with some little business and stuff , cut from buzzling world and its crazy actions ... watching from mongolia
Soon 430k subs will be on this channel.
500k
It is a pity that no boats we can travel on go from Taiwan. It is not too far and would be good to visit. I have been to the main island of Okinawa and the scenery reminded me of Penghu island of Taiwan (that is not a bad thing, it is also nice) but we need to fly there. It is so close that Ishigaki and Yonguni would be practical to visit from Taiwan and I think Taiwanese people like Japan more than the people from any other Asian country (except Japan of course).
I've heard this about Taiwanese people and culture before. Would YOU say that Taiwan is more like Japan than Mainland China in terms of social etiquette, behaviour, values and standards in food service and so on? I'd love to go but if it's more like Mainland China than Japan in these small, critical ways then-- no offence intended AT ALL-- it might not be for me. I love Japan and can't wait to return, now that international travel is soon to be back up and running.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 I think my perspective may have some bias. I am a Taiwan citizen but not ethnically Chinese (about 95 percent of Taiwanese citizens have ethnically Chinese origins). I would say it is a sort of triangle. In some ways Taiwan is VERY Japanese (relatively polite, many Japanese borrow words in Taiwanese Hokkien language, Japanese based legal system etc). I would say service in shops is much more like Japan than China. Driving is somewhere between. Not as bad as China but not as good as Japan and we are LHD, not RHD. Some things are just peculiarly Taiwanese style and neither like China or Japan (eg Taiwanese Aboriginal cultures), some things (eg the influence of Buddhist and Daoist religions are much more than in China although they may have been like that before communism in China) so for example vegetarian food is very common in Taiwan but not common in China or Japan. Taiwan mountains, the East coast and outlying islands are quite beautiful. The West coast cities ummm not really. More industrial. I know a lot of Japanese people love Taiwan. Taiwan is perhaps the only Asian country that looks at Japan very favourably and is very friendly to Japanese people. Taiwan perhaps also has more people who can speak Japanese as a percentage of the population than any other country other than of course Japan.
@@naguoning What a fantastic reply comment! Wow, thank you ever so much. You've really piqued my interest now. I've heard such great things about Taiwan as a holiday destination that now I'm thinking of including it in my next trip to Japan. Brilliant, thank you! 💝
I love this insight into the locale of the historic and archeological wonder of Yonaguni. I am curious though, with the studies about masks being useless in the spread and inoculation of corona viruses, why do they make you wear it outside?
08:28 we call it here UHANGU
The westernmost island in Indonesia is breueueh island, near india
I got curious about this island being so close to Taiwan and wondered if it would get Taiwanese influence. After watching this video I can see it's 100% Japanese
Is it allowed to ride the horses?
Hi....from India 💗
I have dought is yamato is real name of japan
Hey, I am Taiwan now. Do you know any way to reach Yonaguni from Taiwan?
Im here just want to see Ryukyu peoples
Yang ke sini gara-gara tugas bilek
sama bang

Looks like England
if japan never yielded Taiwan then that would be the most western point!
I just search yonaguni island in gmaps, then I search on youtube and found this video
