Miyako Island has a very large amount of beach litter, especially on the east side of the island during the winter.

 

Transporting trash collected on remote islands is expensive.

 

The incinerator on the island, with its weak firepower, could not burn everything,We have to go to the landfill.

 

Similar to the fluctuations in the number of tourists, the volume of business waste generated has also shown an increasing trend in recent years.

Nice to meet you! I am Nacky, originally from Osaka, and I moved to Miyakojima because I was fascinated by the island. When I visited Miyakojima for the first time on a trip, I was captivated by the nature and the warmth of the people, and I moved here because I wanted to know more about this place and tell people about it. I have been living in Miyakojima for 7 years now.

Currently, as a staff member of [ADVENTURE PiPi], I am providing activity experiences to visitors to Miyako Island and writing articles of local origin for tourists.

We provide information on sightseeing spots, popular beaches, how to enjoy each season, and how to choose tours, all from a local's point of view. We provide useful information so that even first-time travelers can enjoy Miyako without anxiety.

What is Miyako Island like? Which activities should I choose? We will wholeheartedly share the present state of the island with those who have questions such as "What is Miyako Island like?
