An invitation to paradise: Kerama Blue sea and idyllic islands beckon 23 Keramashoto Located approximately 40 kilometers west of , the capital of Okinawa, the were originally part of the mountain range connected to the northern region of the main island of Okinawa. National Park Due to movements of the earth’s crust, the region sank, resulting in the approximately 30 islands and reefs that make up the area today. The park, of which approximately 96 percent is ocean, was designated as a national park on ’s Coral Day (March 5) in 2014. The highlight of Keramashoto National Park is its clear, dazzling blue waters dubbed “Kerama Blue.” So rare is the area’s sea that a portion has been designated as a Ramsar site. The park is a cradle of life that nurtures a diverse assortment of living creatures: Colorful fish flock in great numbers to the dense colonies of coral, sea turtles swim leisurely through the azure waters, and from winter to spring hundreds of humpback whales visit the area for the mating season. Within the park, beautiful beaches and white sand are yours to discover, as well as breathtaking 200-meter-long marine-eroded cliffs, a ria coastline and vegetation endemic to windblown regions. The islands’ walking trails and observatories allow you to easily enjoy the glories of the four seasons and rare wildlife as you explore. Approximately 1,600 people live in villages and settlements dotting four of the Kerama Islands. Experience the culture of the , Okinawa’s place in wartime history, and the relationship between the people of Kerama and the islands through the islanders, all while enjoying the leisurely pace of island life.
