How to book the boats
Access to Zamami Village (including Zamami, Aka, and Geruma islands) is typically possible by boat.
If the boats are not fully booked, you can purchase tickets directly at the counter on the day of your departure, either at Tomari Port in Naha or at Zamami or Aka ports if you are returning from the village.
However, boats frequently sell out. Therefore, it is highly recommended to book in advance, especially if you are visiting during the high season (May to November) or planning a day trip.
You are currently visiting the website of the Zamami Village Tourism Association.
Please note that the Tourism Association does not handle boat reservations, which are managed directly by the Zamami Village Office. The information provided below is for reference only.
Unfortunately, boat reservations cannot be made via email at this time. All inquiries must be made by phone through the Naha Ticket Office (see details below).
Boats from Tomari Port (Naha) to Zamami/Aka
There are two ways to book boat tickets.
Online:
Click the button below, then select "Log in," followed by "Reservation Form."
- Please note that the website may not be accessible from certain smartphone models.
- If you are using a foreign credit card, you can only book tickets up to 23 days before your travel date.
- If you plan to return to Naha on a different type of boat than the one you took to Zamami (e.g., you arrived on the Ferry but plan to depart on the High-Speed Boat Queen Zamami), you will need to make two separate bookings.
Phone booking:
To make a booking by phone, please call the Naha Ticket Office at:
+81 98-868-4567 (10am-5pm).
- English-speaking staff are available, so feel free to call.
- When making a reservation by phone, payment is not required during the call. You will pay at the main ticket office in Tomari Port before boarding (reservations can be made up to 1 month before your travel date).
- Alternatively, you can visit the counter at Tomari Port (Naha) in person a few days before your trip to make a booking.
Caution:
- Changing or Canceling Your Reservation:
Changes can only be made by phone by calling the Naha Ticket Office at +81 98-868-4567 (10am-5pm). Cancellations can be made by phone or online if you have made an online booking. Be aware that it might take up to two months before you receive your refund.
- Reserving a return ticket in Zamami or Aka:
Return tickets cannot be booked at the Zamami or Aka ticket office before the day of your departure. For example, if you plan to return to Naha on September 15th, you cannot purchase your ticket at the Zamami ticket office on September 14th—you must wait until the 15th. To book a return ticket before your departure date, please call the Naha Ticket Office or book online.
Boat between Tokashiki (Aharen Port), Aka and Zamami Islands (Mitsushima Boat)
The small municipal boat, Mitsushima, operates twice daily between Zamami Village (Zamami Port and Aka Port) and Tokashiki Island (Aharen Port).
Bookings can be made by calling the Zamami Ticket Office at:
+81 98-987-2614 (9am-5pm)
English-speaking staff are available.
If you are planning to get on the Mitsushima boat just to connect Zamami and Aka islands, you do not need (and cannot make) a reservation. Reservation is necessary only in the case of connecting Zamami Village (Zamami or Aka) with Tokashiki island.
