What is the townscape of Taketomi Island?
The townscape of Taketomi Island is exactly what everyone imagines, red-tiled houses surrounded by coral stone walls, so that the inside cannot be seen much from the outside. Therefore, the red-tiled roofs keep the townscape looking beautiful. Designated as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings on April 28, 1987, the roofs of the private houses are all red tiles. The red of the roof tiles, the stone walls made by the accumulation of sango, and the unpaved white sand road are fascinating to see.
