What airports are closest to Kumejima?
The primary gateway to the island is Kumejima Airport (UEO), which sits just 3.44 km from the city center, reachable by taxi in approximately 11 minutes. For travelers coming from afar, Naha International Airport (OKA) acts as a major regional hub located 91.19 km away, usually requiring a follow-up flight or a 3 hour 30 minute ferry journey to complete the trip. Finally, Yoron Airport (RNJ) is situated 181.41 km from Kumejima in a completely different island chain, making it an impractical choice for reaching Kumejima directly. While Kumejima Airport offers the fastest transit time, Naha remains essential for those needing broader flight connectivity before making the secondary leg of their journey to the island.

For most travelers, Kumejima Airport (UEO) is the only practical gateway located within Kumejima itself, handling domestic connections. It is the most convenient option for reaching the city center quickly. The other airports are located in neighboring cities and serve different regions entirely. Naha International Airport (OKA), located on Okinawa Main Island, is a major regional hub for domestic and international flights; travelers arriving here must transfer via a domestic flight or a long-distance ferry to reach Kumejima. Yoron Airport (RNJ) serves the separate Yoron Island and is not a gateway to Kumejima; it is only relevant if your travel plans specifically include visiting the Amami Islands. If you are flying into the region, Naha provides the best network of international connections, whereas Kumejima Airport is dedicated to your final island destination. Travelers are advised to prioritize direct domestic flights to Kumejima to avoid complex transfers between the islands. Always check ferry schedules in advance if arriving via Naha, as sea conditions can impact service.

It is a hotel close to the ferry stop of Kumejima.
I stayed at the introduction of the business partner.
The building is old and the interior, especially the bathroom, is damaged.
The room is very large and comfortable.
My father is a very nice person, so I personally loved it.
It seems that Tatsuo Umemiya used to stay at the lodging when he came to fish for tuna.FromUS$34

Check-in and check-out were easy and smooth.
It was good because there were few clothes to change because the washing machine and dryer were in the room.
There is no inconvenience because meals and convenience stores are within walking distance, and I will use it next time.Great0 Reviews

Kumejima|6.22km from city center
This was my first time staying at this hotel for business. Although I didn't use the pool, there were restaurants and convenience stores within walking distance, so I think it's a good location for tourists. I stayed in a twin room on the second floor, which was spacious and well-cleaned. However, although this may be due to the area, I did have some issues with a large number of ants in my room. At first, I tried to ignore them, but they eventually made their way onto my bed. When I went to sleep, I became concerned and called the hotel staff. They responded quickly, using ant repellent spray to remove any entry points near the windows and doors. After that, I didn't see any ants again until morning. The hotel staff explained that since the hotel is located near a natural area, ants are bound to get in. If you do encounter ants, I recommend contacting Bronto and having them deal with the issue.FromUS$55

The location is perfect, with direct access to beautiful Eef beach and to the little village where one can found lots of cute little eateries and a FamilyMart open until late. Very nice staff. I had a sea view room which was just dreamy and I slept every night with the window open, soft breeze and sound of waves. I appreciated that the room was not overly furnished and that all the colors were light which is very suitable for a beach environment. I noticed some reviews mention the place could use a little renovation - true, but this didn’t affect my appreciation at all. Breakfast also good with plenty of choice. If there is some room for improvement I would mention that Wi-Fi was strong only in common areas but in the room it kept logging off. And it would help to have English translation for the breakfast items!FromUS$114

Location: The hostel seems to be the most important location.
It's not big, so I traveled by walking, but the location seems to be good anywhere on the island. Convenience stores and bus stops are located 5 minutes away, and supermarkets (A-COOP) are 15 minutes walk away. There's a drug store next to the supermarket.
Check-in: I was worried that the voucher came and the details didn't come, but I checked in easily with Trip.com's sincere and friendly processing, and the check-in method was very smart, so I ended up taking off time.
Cleanliness: It has the best cleanliness and has all the facilities inside. Towels are also provided and amenities are well provided.
I want to use it next time.FromUS$47
