Where Sky Meets Sea: The Spectacular '17 END'

On Shimoji Island in the Miyako archipelago, ’17END’ (one seven end) is a man-made beach extending beyond runway 17 of Shimoji Airport.

This slice of paradise captivates visitors with its pristine white sand and astonishingly clear emerald waters, creating a stunning contrast against the azure sky.

A popular spot for plane-spotting enthusiasts, ’17END’ offers a unique vantage point where aircraft seem to merge with the sea and sky. This extraordinary fusion of natural beauty and human engineering leaves an indelible impression on all who witness it.
