7. Tsunoshima Island
The island of Tsunoshima is connected to the mainland by the massive 1,780-meters-long Tsunoshima Bridge. Though the island is small at just four square kilometers, the turquoise waters and white beaches here more than make up for its size.
8. Amami Oshima Island
Located right between Kyushu and Okinawa, two of Japan’s largest islands, the Amami Island is home to several beaches. Surrounded by coral reef and with a background of volcanic mountains covered in deep green forest, the beaches on Amami are particularly stunning.
