The Kerama Islands (慶良間諸島 Kerama-shotō) are a small archipelago and a National Park in Okinawa, Japan, to the west of the main Okinawa Island.
Ferries connect Naha to Tokashiki (35/70 min fast/slow ferry), Akajima (50/90 min), Zamami (60/120 min) and Aguni (-/130 min). Kerama Airport on Fukaji, connected by bridge to Akajima, serves only charter flights.
Read in the guideAkajima and Zamami are served by the same ferry, as are Tonaki and Kume, but otherwise island-hopping will usually require a detour via Naha.
