Taketomi (traditional village) 竹富島
The classic tour is by cart, drawn by a buffalo, half an hour through the three hamlets.
The centre of the village, 38.3 hectares, was designated a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings on 28 April 1987, one of only two in the whole of Okinawa Prefecture, together with Tonaki. It is an island of raised coral south-west of Ishigaki, reachable only by ferry.
