  • Everything about Taketomi, history, folk songs, myths, festivals, etc. with Chinese, English and Korean translation. And even a cute kitty!! Worth spending at least an hour here if interested in Taketomi culture. Free entry.
  • A very beautiful local cultural and info centre. Fruitful materials to learn about the history of the area.
  • Free tourist centre but I will name it a small museum of the life and history of the locals rather than a "tourist centre". This should be the first place you go rather than rushing to the bi-cycle rental or vans for touring around. You MUST NOT miss the 7 minute movie show (very frequent, and with both Chinese and English subtitles) about the locals. For example, there are only 350 residents here on this island ! And you can enjoy air-conditioning in the movie room, really a short hide away the summer sun!
  • Nice place. Exhibiting local culture. Very helpful they have free restroom for tourists.
  • Simple museum. No English
