Choosing a meal in Miyakojima

Miyako soba makes a noodle meal; mozuku seaweed is often a separate dish alongside it. A beach-day lunch and a Hirara dinner point to different parts of the island, so check the drive as well as the menu.

Where to look for restaurants

Plan lunch near the beach you’re visiting, then look around Hirara or your accommodation for dinner. Keep the drive back in mind when choosing an evening restaurant.
