Culture in Taketomi
Kihōin (喜宝院), in the village. Japan's southernmost temple, but it's not much to look at. The resident priest's collection of 3000 historical items and handicrafts may be of mild interest, but entry costs �300.
Nagomi-no-tō (なごみの塔), center of the village. Purpose-built concrete tower that offers views over the village.
Mingeikan (民芸館), in the village. Has local artisans weaving traditional Yaeyaman minsā cloth. Free entry.
Yugafukan (ゆがふ館), near dock. A new informative museum run by the national parks authority, but unfortunately all the information is in Japanese. The 15-minute film and the audio sets of Yaeyaman stories and songs are still interesting. Free entry.
