\n\t(2) Enhanced connectivity to Okinawa\u2019s Remote Islands around Naha
Around Naha, islands such as Kumejima and Miyakojima offer rich natural beauty and unique attractions. The JAL Group, with Naha as its hub, operates an extensive network connecting these remote islands.
Although geographically close, access between Taipei and the Okinawa remote islands has been limited. This situation has now significantly improved, making travel between Taipei and these\u00a0 islands much easier. Travelers are encouraged to take this opportunity to visit the remote islands of Okinawa and Kagoshima.
