なごみの塔
A purpose-built concrete tower that offers views over the entire island. The steps up are very steep.
民芸館 Mingeikan
Has local artisans weaving traditional Yaeyaman minsā cloth.
喜宝院
Japan's southernmost temple, but it's not much to look at. It houses about 3,000 historical artifacts and local handicrafts gathered from around the island. With no English explanations, visitors may find it to be of limited interest; however, it is essentially the island's history and culture museum.
西桟橋 Nishi-sanbashi
This disused pier is where Taketomi's villagers used to set off by canoe to tend their rice fields on Iriomote. Today, it's Taketomi's best sunset-watching spot, but you'll have to stay overnight to catch this nightly event.
コンドイ浜
A spectacular expanse of white sand and turquoise water, and the only beach where swimming is allowed.
