Introduction
Hatoma Island is a tiny islet north of Iriomote in Okinawa's Yaeyama group, only about four kilometres around with very few residents. Traditional Okinawan village life and white beaches remain intact, the surrounding sea suits snorkelling, and boats from Iriomote's Ohara Port take about 20 minutes.
