Yomitan, Administrative village in Nakagami District, Okinawa, Japan
Located on the western coast of Okinawa's main island, Yomitan spans across forest zones, agricultural lands, and residential areas facing the East China Sea.
The port of Hamanaga in Yomitan played a central role in maritime trade during the Ryukyu Kingdom period before Japan annexed the territory in 1879.
Yomitan maintains fifty pottery workshops at Yachimun no Sato, where artisans create Ryukyuan ceramics using traditional methods passed through generations.
Travelers can reach Yomitan within one hour by car from Naha Airport using Highway 58, which connects the village to major areas of Okinawa.
The village produces purple sweet potatoes known as beni imo, which local manufacturers transform into various regional food products and confections.
