Known for their pristine beauty and breathtaking seaside landscapes, these islands are an absolute must for eco-tourists. There are three ferries that you can take from Matsue, including a high-speed launch called the Rainbow. Or, if you're spending most of your vacation outside of Western Japan, the Oki Islands have several flights that arrive from Tokyo, Osaka and other domestic airports. Either way, access is easier than it might look on a map.
