Our reporter leaves convinced that Ogami Island is the hidden home of countless gods.
Within that list of power spots is Ogami Island (大神島 / “Island of the Great Gods”), a little known and off the beaten path locale within the Ryukyu Islands group administered by Okinawa Prefecture.
To get to Ogami Island one must first arrive at Miyako Airport on the nearby Miyako Island (宮古島), which is worth a visit for its terrifying-to-children annual Paantu Festival alone.
It’s then a 30-minute car ride from the airport to Shimajiri Port where the ferry to Ogami Island awaits.
If you do visit Ogami Island, since you’re in Okinawa Prefecture anyway, why not check out some other things to do in the area, including glamping on Okinawa Island?
