Koshiki Retto

Wild natural islands with rugged cliffs and untouched bays

Koshiki Islands are wild natural islands of immense beauty, the much lower population down here assists with the blue clarity of the water, a perfect stop for us to anchor and get the sea toys out.
An afternoon wander through the local village will have you delight at the narrow streets and old stone walls surrounding “Bukeyashiki” (houses) followed by a short hike to a 55m high waterfall.
Even our departure from the islands will prove to be scenic with rugged cliffs and untouched bays.
