Islands in Taketomi Town, Okinawa Prefecture.<br \/>\nOther Yaeyama Islands include Ishigaki, Kuroshima, and Kohama, which are closer to Taiwan than to the main island of Okinawa.<br \/>\nIriomote Island, with an area of about 280\u33a2, is about 1\/2 the size of Awaji Island, but is the largest island in Okinawa Prefecture, excluding the main island.<br \/>\nSo this time, we will look at the
