An undeveloped beach on Taketomi Island's east coast, reached via an unpaved track locally nicknamed "Butterfly Road"; the name means "east beach/east field" in the local dialect. Strong currents next to a ferry channel make swimming prohibited, but it's a known star-sand collecting spot and one of the island's few sunrise-facing shores.
