Miyako-jima doesn't really have any particular claim to fame in the souvenir area. Most things available in Miyako come from the main island of Okinawa or mainland Japan. There are locally grown fruits, mangoes June to August, dragon fruit May to October and island bananas year round, but they are not unique to Miyako and are subject to import regulations. Miyako-jima salt holds the Guinness World Record for the salt with the most complex mineral make-up. The salt is available in souvenir stores, supermarkets and a salt shop on Nishizato street.
Awamori 泡çï¼is available everywhere and though it isn't made on Miyako, Taragawa (å¤å¥å· is a popular brand. Kuusu å¤é is aged awamori and a bit more expensive.
There are some local craftsmen on the island catering to tourists.
T-shirts are always a good gift/souvenir.
Sabo
Decent designs that usually say Miyako on them.
Uminchu Miyako
Catch 22 here... The fact that you are buying an overpriced T-shirt means that you are not 海人, but the stuff inside is cool just the same.
Island kitsch is available everywhere in Hirara. It's part of the town's charm.

King of kitsch and for a fee they will ship anywhere in Japan.
