Located approximately 17 km southwest of Ishigaki, Kohama Island enjoys a relatively flat topography, and has garnered its popularity thanks to television drama ""Chura-san."" While there are many resort hotels, the island retains a tranquil atmosphere with soothing scenery that includes rolling sugar cane fields as well as ranches. Places of interest for sightseeing are best visited by car, motorcycle, or electric bicycle due to the distances involved. It takes approximately two hours to go around by car. Visitors can enjoy visiting places that appeared in the drama Chura-san throughout the island, as well as taking a brisk bike ride along Sugar Road located in the center of the island.
Kohama Island is located directly in the middle of the Yaeyama Islands (Yaeyama area), offering a wide selection of island hopping tours to each of the Yaeyama Islands. For this reason, Kohama Island serves as a great base for visitors looking to visit multiple islands on the same trip, whether it be summer or winter.
