It is a small island which is located at 5.3 km southeast from mainland Okinawa. There are about 200 people living there, and it takes about 20 minutes by ferry from mainland Okinawa. It is a very spiritual island. There is a myth about Kudaka Island. Amamikiyo, the god of Ryukyu, made the Ryukyu Islands a long time ago. Ryukyu is what we used to call Okinawa. There are a lot of spiritual spot at Kudaka Island. Especially, Kubo Utaki which is the sacred place there. Only female shaman can enter there, so men are not allow to go there even King of Ryukyu couldn’t go without dressed as a woman. Okinawa is a motherhood Island.
