West Pier, Historical pier in Taketomi, Japan
The West Pier extends into the ocean from Taketomi Island, featuring a wooden and steel construction that connects to surrounding islands through ferry services.
Built in 1938 during Japan's maritime expansion period, the West Pier served as a vital transportation link between Taketomi and neighboring Yaeyama Islands.
The pier holds recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, representing the maritime traditions of the Ryukyu archipelago.
Located near Kondoi Beach, the pier functions as the main arrival and departure point for ferries connecting Taketomi with Ishigaki Island throughout the day.
The structure provides views of the Sekisei Lagoon's coral reefs, where marine life surfaces during morning and evening hours.
