Minamidaito, Village in Shimajiri District, Japan

Minamidaito extends across 30.7 square kilometers on an island situated 360 kilometers east of Okinawa Island in the Pacific Ocean.

Japanese pioneers from Hachijojima established the first settlement in 1900, initiating sugar cane cultivation three years later under Dai Nippon Sugar ownership.

The village encompasses six distinct wards: Ikenosawa, Kita, Kyuto, Minami, Shinto, and Zaisho, each contributing to the local community structure.

Access to Minamidaito requires air travel through Minami-Daito Airport, as the island lacks proper port facilities for regular maritime transportation.

Grace Rum distillery, established in 2004, produces spirits from local sugar cane in this remote Pacific island location.
