How about spending a comfortable time on small【Hamahiga Island】hiding great power?

Hello, everyone (^o^)

This time on Okinawa Holiday Hackers we introduce a remote island with resort hotels and natural beaches. The island full of charm that can be reached by car and that is also known as a power spot♪

In this place you can refresh both your body and spirit
“Hamahiga Island”

Hamahiga is a remote island that can be reached by car via Hamahiga Bridge connected to Henza Island that can be reached from the Mid-sea Road in the central area of Okinawa Island.

There are two villages: Hama and Higa. The population of this small island is 530 people.

It is not possible to go around the island by car so

when you come here please use car navigation system and turn around the island ^ ^

This is a place where soshin (ancestors honored as gods) of Ryukyu lived

Hamaiga is an island known as a mystical spot!

Likewise Kudaka Island known as the island of gods nearby the southern part of Okinawa Island, this is the island where the origin of Ryukyu mythology still left and it is told that 2 Ryukyu gods-ancestors Amamichu (Amamikiyo) and Shirumichu (Shinerikiyo) lived on this island.

Shirumichu

Shirumichu is considered to be a place where two gods lived.

As a place of worship of people praying for children, it is said that many people come here from far countries and this is the greatest power spot on the island!

It is situated on a small hill south to Higa village and it is possible to reach place close to the entrance by car. Large torii (Shinto shrine archway) and a long stair with 108 steps covered under green roof are here.

You can feel stern atmosphere of the place literally with your skin.

The board in front of torii with explanation about Shirumichu tells us as follows.

It is believed that the two gods lived in this cavern on the top of the long stairs.

If stand in front of the cave you will naturally feel focusing sense in your spine. You could really feel the energy in this place. When I was there I saw a couple holding hands of each other and popularity comes to this power spot（╹◡╹）

Everyone who comes to Hamahiga Island should also walk here.

Grave of Amamichu

Situated in the sea near Higa village small island (Amanji Rock) protruding into the sea is told to be enshrined by the two gods Amamichu and Shirumichu mentioned before.

If go via the concrete road and turn left you will find the Grave.

You can go there on foot but at high tide or if waves are high footing becomes bad so please be careful.

Visit this place also when you come to Hamahiga Island ^^

Artificial and natural beaches on the island

If cross the Hamahiga Bridge, turn right and then proceed along the road you will see Hamahiga Beach of the prefectural purveyor♪

It is located in Hama village.

The place is crowded by people enjoying barbecue and camping on Golden Week and summer season and in winter you can see fishing people.

Moreover it is also a recommended spot to drop during night drive!

Though it can be reached by car it is still a remote island.

There are almost no lights on the streets and superb view of bright starry sky can be seen if there is no moon. And in full moon you can see mystical sea scenery lit by moonlight ( ´∀｀)

This beach always shows a magnificent expression regardless time of the day.
