Iko Pier, Historical pier in Taketomi, Japan

The wooden Iko Pier extends into the waters of Taketomi Island, connecting the local community to maritime routes in Okinawa Prefecture.

Built in 1924, Iko Pier played a central role in the development of maritime transportation and trade networks in the southern Japanese archipelago.

The Japanese government designated Iko Pier as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, recognizing its architectural value and regional maritime heritage.

The structure continues to serve local maritime activities while receiving protection through government programs that provide maintenance support and tax benefits.

Iko Pier represents one of the few remaining early 20th-century maritime structures in the Okinawa region that maintains its original design elements.
