Rounded grey boulders crowd a small cove near Aharen on Tokashiki, and calm clear water fills the gaps between them under a high blue sky
Pampas grass frames the long white curve of Aharen Beach on Tokashiki as it sweeps past the reef toward the rocky islet of Hanarejima
Under a grey sky the shallows at Aharen Beach on Tokashiki still glow pale blue over the reef, and parasols dot the sand below forested hills
A tall weathered boulder stands on the sand at Aharen Beach on Tokashiki, and a bleached log lies beside it under a deep blue sky

Village

Clear shallow water curves along the village beach at Aka, where low houses sit behind the sand and the Aka Ohashi crosses toward Geruma at the far end
A ferry sits at Aka Port below a wooded hill on Geruma, and the curved Aka Ohashi bridge crosses the blue channel between the two islands
A young Kerama deer stands alert on dry grass at the edge of the scrub on Aka, looking straight at the camera with its ears raised
