Meet and Stay with Local Women in Miyakojima

Solo travel

Miyako Island is well worth a visit for all female travellers who adore island getaways, particularly those travelling solo. The locals are wonderfully warm and welcoming, and safety concerns are entirely unfounded, I once walked back to my hotel alone from the beach after dark. Visitor numbers are low in mid-September, meaning the beaches are pleasantly uncrowded and well worth exploring; you might even find yourself with an entire stretch of sand all to yourself. My favourite spot is Sunayama...
