A fan-shaped island located about 60km northwest of Naha with a circumference of about 12km. It is an idyllic island in Ichimura Ichimura, with rows of coral stone-walled fukugi trees and a wild field of cycads. Specialities such as brown sugar, glutinous and onion produce, which are produced by taking advantage of the natural environment, and natural sea salt, which is a rich sea product, are also produced.

Toji Temple [Tera] is a underground cave where you can see a variety of topography such as stalagmites, stone pillars, and heliktites. At this temple, about 200 years ago, the Yunsui (Unsui) monk in Naha developed into a bet on whether he could walk on the surface with another monk, and lost and was swept away to Aguni Island. There is a legend that he spent his time reading sutras until his death in this cave. Even now, the head fossil of the Yunsui monk is feted and has become a holy place.

Shushinzaki, which protrudes as if it were being gouged at the southwestern tip of Awakuni Island, is a powerful cliff-edge wall of white tuff formed from a pile of volcanic ash. Above about 90m above sea level is the Mahana Observatory, which offers sweeping views of the island of Okinawa and surrounding islands. Great sunset sights. Until the simple water supply was established on the island, a type of volcanic rock called tuff in this area made a large water coalm called tuge. Even now, you can see Tooji, which was a daily necessity to store rainwater in the garden of a private house.
