[2025 Nakijin Attraction] Travel Guide for Kouri Beach (Updated May)

Teenu Beach 🏖 on Kouri Island, which became famous overnight through a commercial. The heart-shaped rock is distinctive and the color of the sea is very beautiful 😊 The view is completely different at high tide and low tide, so it's a good idea to visit at different times ✨ There is a free parking lot, but the paid parking lots always lend out beach sandals and foot washing areas, so I always park in the paid parking lots 🚘 The sand is smooth and difficult to walk on, but the path is rocky, so it's easy to walk on. I recommend wearing marine shoes 🎵 * Teenu Beach 2 Kouri, Nakijin Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-0406 #Recommended List #Remote Island Trip #Okinawa #Breathtaking Views

📍Spot📍 Okinawa Kouri Island [Tinu Beach Heart Rock] When you think of Kouri Island, you think of Heart Rock🙋‍♀️ Kouri Island is a small island, so if you have a car, you can go around it in no time🥺🙌❤️ Play in the sea, have lunch at a cafe, and... I definitely want you to go to Heart Rock too!! ⚠️The road from the parking lot to Heart Rock is pretty bad, so I recommend shoes or sandals that are easy to walk on I reached Heart Rock with my feet shaking and slipping more than I expected!! It's a power spot where the space between the two rocks looks like a heart◡̈*.。 However, it's difficult to take a photo that looks like a heart😆 The best way to take a photo is to use a selfie stick or tripod while watching the balance🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️ As you'd expect from a power spot, there are a lot of people!! It would be nice if you could try your best to find the best position and take a nice heart photo😍😍😍 #Kouri Island #Heart Rock #Teenu Beach #Remote Island Trip #Okinawa #Power Spot #Amazing Nature #Remote Island Trip #Tourism Support #Amazing View #Remote Island Trip

During my trip to Okinawa, I visited Kouri Beach, and it was absolutely stunning! Even before arriving, I was amazed by the emerald-green water visible through the window—it reminded me of the color of Powerade. 😊 The weather was perfect, making the sky and sea seem like they were seamlessly connected 🌊☀️. As soon as I reached the beach, I couldn’t help but marvel at its beauty. There were so many great photo spots that I kept taking out my camera. The emerald-colored water sparkled like a painting, and the unique rock formations on the beach caught my eye. Since these shapes were naturally formed, they were fascinating to look at. Walking along the beach, I was constantly greeted by new and diverse scenery, so there was never a dull moment. No matter the angle, the background was always perfect for capturing stunning shots 📷. The beach wasn’t crowded, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Listening to the sound of the waves while zoning out was incredibly healing.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 I decided to go to Okinawa for two days and one night because of the cheap air tickets. I also decided to drive around Okinawa. I rented a car from trip rental, which was generally very cheap and driving in Okinawa is not difficult. Although we returned after arriving at Guliyu Island due to time constraints, the sight of the gloomy sea in winter and the comfort of driving alone were so enjoyable that I could not stop!
