About the Kumejima – Naha (Okinawa) crossing
The return from Kumejima to Naha takes the same 92 minutes and leaves from Kanegusuku (兼城港) on the island's south-west coast.
There are two sailings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays — 10:10 and 16:00 — which makes a full day on the island possible in either direction. On Tuesdays and Thursdays only the 16:00 runs, and on Saturdays it is 15:30, because the boat has a Motobu round trip earlier in the day.
Kumejima is about 100 km west of the Okinawan mainland, known for the Hatenohama sandbar and its sea turtles; the airport is on the other side of the island from the harbour. Kumejima Ocean Jet runs a single vessel, the hydrofoil Tsumugi, so a cancellation means no alternative sailing that day — typhoon suspensions are announced on the company's front page.
