Summa Shah (Western Settlement)
Summa Shah (Western Settlement) on Taketomi Island is a preserved Ryukyu village — low red-tiled roofs, coral-stone walls, sandy lanes and swaying casuarina trees create timeless compositions. Arrive by ferry from Ishigaki (no cars on the island); explore on foot or by bicycle. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset when warm tones accentuate roof tiles and textures; mid-morning offers quieter streets. Modest cultural etiquette: keep noise low, respect private property and local life. No
