Miyako Islands
Japan · Ryukyu Islands
The Miyako Islands lie in Okinawa prefecture between the main Okinawa island and the Yaeyama group, sheltering Yabiji — Japan's largest coral reef — alongside crystalline blue caves and reliable manta ray cleaning stations. Exceptional water clarity and consistent currents draw pelagic species throughout the warmer months.
