Kudaka is a small island with a circumference of 8 km located five km east of the Chinen Peninsula in Nanjo City. This island is said to be the first island created by Amamikiyo, the creator goddess of the Ryukyus, when she descended from the heavens. Kudaka Island, known as the island of the gods, is considered one of the holiest places in Okinawa (15 minutes by high-speed ferry from the main island of Okinawa) which makes the island a great destination for a day trip. The island is small enough to explore by bicycle. There are a lot of beautiful beaches scattered around Kudaka Island, and the traditional Okinawan houses with red tile roofs and stone walls dotting the village area add to the island’s unique atmosphere. Bear in mind that the island has a number of sacred spots that are strictly off-limits to outsiders.
