How to get in Yonaguni

Yonaguni is among the remotest inhabited spots of Japan and getting there is both inconvenient and expensive, although this may change if connections to Taiwan improve. Both flights and ferries may be cancelled at short notice if the weather is bad (particularly around typhoon season), so allow some buffer in your plans.

The Most Frequently Asked Travel Questions about Yonaguni

The Wild, Wild West

After the end of World War II, Yonaguni's tiny fishing port of Kubura became a hub of black marketeers shipping goods (mostly stolen) from Japan to Taiwan in exchange for food and other scarce commodities. At the boom's peak the island's population had swelled to 20,000, including 38 bars and 200 hostesses. Alas, with the post-war normalization of economic conditions the black market vanished and Yonaguni returned to its quiet ways.
