Ferry service to Zamami Island will be suspended for annual maintenance.The ferries that travel between the main island of Okinawa and Zamami and Aka islands must undergo a safety inspection once a year, and their services are suspended during the inspection. If you're planning a trip to these islands, check out Zamami Village's official website for ferry suspensions and cancellations in advance.

During the peak summer season, these ferries tend to be fully booked rather early. You're highly recommended to book your space online or by phone as much in advance as possible.
