"Capturing the Milky Way: The Enchanting Night Sky Photos of Miyako Island!"
2021.10.08 published
A once-in-a-lifetime experience...!
If you’re going to take wedding photos.
And if you’re planning a domestic trip or honeymoon, the absolute best recommendation is Miyako Island.
It allows for a more relaxed experience compared to Okinawa Main Island, and since there are no rivers on the island, the sea is crystal clear without any gravel or sediment mixed in.
And at night, you can see a sky full of stars.
What I particularly want to introduce in this article is the breathtaking starry sky photos of Miyako Island ♡
A sight to behold for the very first time.
The clearer the air, the more beautiful the stars appear.
Miyako Island is famous for its beautiful starry skies.
You can see a sky full of stars like you’ve never seen before in your lifetime, and the starry sky photo tours are quite popular ♡
At first glance, don’t you think such a sky looks like a composite photo...?
It’s really astonishing, but this is not a processed image at all; it is genuinely what you can see right there. You can even capture shooting stars, find constellations, and see the Milky Way filled with seemingly overflowing stars.
Recently, influencer Makiko Takada went to Miyako Island with her family and took starry sky photos, which were absolutely wonderful.
I want to take photos like this ♡

Starry sky photos in Miyako Island allow you to capture unique photos that cannot be taken anywhere else and also classic shots on the beach.
The charm lies in being able to have both “only here” and “classics” in one location ♡
Don’t you think it’s a great deal...?
In Miyako Island,
✅ Of course, there are beaches as well
✅ There are thickets
✅ There are paths leading to the sea
✅ There are rocky areas
✅ There are paths like this as well
✅ There’s even a place where bougainvillea blooms beautifully (Utopia Farm Miyako Island) ♡

How to request? What to wear?
If you want to take wedding photos (starry sky photos) in Miyako Island, you can request a tour company or a wedding venue, or contact photographers directly via Google or Instagram to find someone who can capture the atmosphere and locations you desire*
As for attire, most people opt for monochrome fashion to avoid clashing with the stars.
(In that regard, the wedding dress and tuxedo fit beautifully ♡)
A white dress looks gorgeous against the night sky, allowing for stunning photos ♡
Grooms often wear a shirt with shorts.
Here’s an image of someone wearing colored clothing ♡

The important point is the weather!
No matter how beautiful Miyako Island is, you won’t see the starry sky without good weather.
If it’s very cloudy or raining, naturally, the stars will be hidden.
Therefore, the starry sky tour involves a lot of patience regarding the weather.
Just like normal location photos, if it rains, the shoot might be postponed.
Given the limited stay duration, it can be thrilling, waiting for the right weather and photographer availability... but the joy when you successfully take photos is unparalleled ♡
If you’re feeling uneasy, it might be good to stay a bit longer.
I highly recommend the starry sky photo tour in Miyako Island ♡
