Kouri Island (Kouri Jima). Kouri island is located in north east off Unten port in the Motobu peninsula. It a circuler island of a upheaved coral reef.
Still, the visit to the small island was a fun excursion, so dull photo or not, here they come...
Kouri Island is a small, generally circular island about a mile and a quarter across, less than a mile offshore from the Okinawa mainland. It's connected by a big bridge, but not directly: you have to cross three bridges and two other islands, traveling about five miles, to get there from the mainland.
There's pretty much nothing on it of interest, but it was fun to explore.
Despite the wide open views seen above, much of the island was covered with dense foliage of some sort... trees, sugar cane, etc., so if was often difficult to tell where you were if you couldn't see the bridge for orientation.
There's the Bridge Again ( the island is a small circle, so the bridge comes into view eventually )
