Fukaji Island, Desert island in Kerama Islands, Japan

Fukaji Island rises from clear waters near Geruma Island, featuring white sand beaches and coral formations along its shoreline.

The island played a role in the development of regional aviation with the construction of Kerama Airport, connecting the remote archipelago to mainland services.

Local inhabitants maintain traditional fishing practices in the surrounding waters, following methods passed down through generations of Kerama islanders.

Visitors reach Fukaji Island through regular ferry connections from Naha Port to Zamami, followed by local boat services between the neighboring islands.

The island serves as a natural barrier protecting the Kerama Airport runway, which receives chartered helicopters for transportation between the islands.
