Airport In Miyako Island
In 2017, Mitsubishi Real Estate Services Co., Ltd. (refer to Mitsubishi below) started a renovation project on Shimoji Airtport in Miyako Island to stimulate the tourism industry.
Shimoji Airport has been an airport for flight training since 1971. Mitsubishi’s renovation plan is to turn Shimoji Airport into domestic and international terminal with mainly flights from low cost carriers such as Jetstar and Peach Aviation.
The opening of Shimoji Airport was taken place in March 2019, and is expected to further contribute to the growth of international tourism in Okinawa Prefecture.
Tourism in Okinawa
Okinawa Prefecture’s tourism is growing steadily recently. The visitors to Okinawa Prefecture outnumbered Hawaii’s visitors in 2017.
This is due to the rapid increase of tourists from Asia countries and Japanese Government’s scheme in advancing the tourism industry.
Of course, this caught many property investors’ attention which lead to a rush in the construction of hotels in Miyako Island.
Land price is also accelerating thanks to the above influences.
