WEAZER Miyakojima

The Most Beautiful Sea in the East—Born from Coral

Southwest of Okinawa’s main island, 300 kilometers — Miyakojima floats in emerald waters. An archipelago formed by coral reefs, where uplifted coral created unique terrain.

This geology nurtures rich groundwater and crystalline seas. The entire island wrapped in nature’s cycles.

Stars filling the night sky.

Each a symbol of Miyakojima — where nature and human life exist side by side.

Tourism has brought vitality. Yet with growth comes concern — for the environment, for the delicate balance.

Infrastructure Under Pressure

Tourism has surged in Miyakojima. Inbound demand rising. Development accelerating.
Beneath this growth, quiet concerns emerge — environmental impact, landscape change.

Most critical: water.

Remote islands like Miyakojima and Ishigaki — surrounded by abundant ocean, yet limited freshwater within.

In some areas: pipe diameter restrictions. Water supply regulations. Daily life and business operations strained.

Hotels and resorts, in particular, require substantial water — not only for guest rooms and kitchens, but for laundry, pools, landscaping.
The burden on island infrastructure intensifies.

This challenge is not unique to Okinawa’s islands.
Across Japan’s remote communities, aging infrastructure meets declining maintenance capacity.

WEAZER offers a path forward.
