Miyakojima, Island city in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
The city of Miyakojima extends over six islands with Miyako being the largest, covering 204 square kilometers in southwestern Okinawa Prefecture.
In 2005, Miyakojima city formed through the consolidation of Hirara city, three towns, and one village, establishing a unified administration for the islands.
The Paantu festival occurs during the lunar calendar's ninth month, featuring men in grass and mud walking through streets for traditional blessings.
Miyako Airport connects the islands with domestic destinations while bridges link Miyako to Ikema, Irabu, and Kurima islands for local transportation.
The German Emperor's Tributary Monument stands as a reminder of the 1873 shipwreck that created lasting connections between local residents and German sailors.
