Hateruma Island is the southernmost inhabited island in Japan. There is an island that is more south than this one, but that is a desert island.
Normally, when travellers talk about the southernmost point of Japan, we refer to Hateruma Island.
This time, I went to Japan’s southernmost point.
Due to the hotness and my laptop being so slow, I gave up putting voice over so the video is a bit boring but hope you find it interesting.
If you want to know the “most most” south point of Japan, look up Okinotori island. You will be surprised by its location.

It looks just like Denmark…
What a unique island to explore; So remote and it looks almost untouched by civilization. What a contrast to what you you would find in Europe right? Great video!! 👍👍👍
amazing video keep the good work up 🙂
I've picked up kajaking and want to do a bunch of multiday trips. Once I'm confident enough I do want to try doing such trips in a country with less cloudy waters. Seeing how it's 260+ km from Okinawa to Ogami island (the closest I could find). I think I'll, at best, island hop from Miyakojima to, say, Tarama, to Ishigaki, to Kuroshima/Taketomi, to Hateruma. Each hop being 20 to 30 km.
Very nice place looks like something where i would like to go camp one day.
I like those places where there no many tourist or is unknown for the public, i think i know my next travel trip now
video perfeito 👍 perfect video
Nice looks like a awsome place
I was looking for the southernmost island of Japan and found your video, quite interesting 🙂
I would love spend a week on that island. Just doing nothing. I guess you have to speak Japanese to be a solo traveler on that island.
Oh, look, there is Taiwan. Can you go to Taiwan from Hateruma?
Lovely. Spent 10 days on Haterumajima in Jan-Feb 2020, filming a show for NHKWorld. Really enjoyed watching your film. Nice memories. There is, though, a slow ferry which is less bumpy! 🙂
