Minamidaito

Bats
Daito's unique bat, the okomori, will usually be eating fruit in the fukugi trees at night. Ask Higashi-san about where to look.
Whale-watching
hoeru wotchingu is also possible in the winter, while during the summer tsunami season you can watch the enormous waves crashing into the rocks.
Daito Shrine
Daito Jinja is hidden away in a beautiful forest setting. There is a large torii gate, a pathway around the forest walk, and a sumo stage used during the Honen Festival.
Daito Culture Center
bunka sentaa is not far from the village office, and hosts numerous artefacts from the island's history. Information is in Japanese, but the photographs speak for themselves. Entry ¥200.

A view of 70% of the island is available at Hinomaru observation tower.

The best place to investigate Minamidaito's unique plant species is next to Kaigunbo pool.

Taiko drumming
The young traditional drumming group Daito Taiko practices hard every evening from 6.45PM-7.30PM at the sogo center. If you turn up to watch, they will probably do a performance just for you.

The multiple prize-winning sanshin girl group Borojino Musume likes to perform for visitors. Ask ahead.
