They are situated between Okinawa Island and the Yaeyama Islands.
In the early 1870s, the population of the islands was estimated to number approximately 10,000. Miyako Island has 55,914 people.[citation needed] A bridge connects Miyako Island to Ikema Island, which has 801 people. Tarama village has 1,214 people, between the two islands of Minna and Tarama.
The islands have been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support populations of the resident Ryukyu green pigeons, as well as migrating whimbrels.
