How to get to Hanari Island (“the uninhabited island”) from Aharen in Okinawa


I have a very specific question for which I need an urgent answer, so I thought I’d take a shot in the dark and post on reddit. I am currently in Naha. We plan on going to Aharen on Tokashiki tomorrow or the next day. One of the things I was most excited about was going to Hanari Island from there. I was directed from a travel guide to make a reservation here. (

Is it possible to go to Hanari Island without a reservation? Are there people on Aharen Beach who will take me there if I just show up and ask? I cannot find an answer online, I’ve done lots of googling but most routes lead me to the reservation page.

  1. I believe you can take rental kayaks there? I know I’ve read about that a while back…

    Don’t think this has an english site, but you can try your luck here and see. It might require booking a tour package but maybe they would just let you rent a kayak and go. You can also try looking for other sites/businesses that takes you there. These things are often done by several companies, I remember there were like 3-4 options for the deserted island in Yoron Island when I went.
