Introduction
The Chibishi (Keise) Atoll lies about 15 km west of Naha in Kerama Islands National Park, part of Tokashiki Village, and gathers three uninhabited coral islets — Kamiyama, Kuefu and Nagannu. Nagannu, the largest, fronts a white coral-sand beach some 1.7 km long and emerald shallows — the favourite snorkelling and day-trip islet off Naha.
