Island essentials
ATM
A Yucho Bank ATM is available at Tonaki Post Office (no holiday service on weekends and holidays). It's wise to bring extra cash from Naha.
Convenience store
No convenience stores or pharmacies. Only two small shops on the island, and no restaurants serve lunch — bring your own lunch from Naha.
Cell service
Major Japanese carriers (Docomo, au, SoftBank) all have coverage. Reception is generally good within the village.
Rental vehicles
No buses, taxis, or rental scooters on the island. Rental bicycles are available at the Tourist Information Center (4 e-bikes and 4 standard bikes, walk-in only — no advance booking). One small rental car operator, 'Rent-a-Car Nishimon,' has a single vehicle. The village can be circled on foot in 1–2 hours.
Note: Rental bicycles cannot be reserved and are first-come-first-served — during peak season, head to the Tourist Information Center immediately after the ferry arrives.
Frequently asked questions
- Naha (Tomari Port) to Tonaki Port takes about 1 hour 55 minutes. A same-day return is only possible on Fridays during the summer season (April–October): depart Naha 09:00, arrive Tonaki 10:55, then depart Tonaki 15:35 and arrive Naha 17:30. On other days, only the morning sailing returns to Naha, so an overnight stay is required.
