In this article, we will clearly introduce information about Tour Miles, along with recommended tours in the popular tourist area of Okinawa.
If you're going on a group trip, book a tour! What are JAL's "Tour Miles"?

The "Tour Miles" initiative launched by JAL is a system that awards 1 mile for every 100 yen spent on travel costs for three products: domestic and international JAL dynamic packages, and overseas tours sold online.
Tour miles are awarded to tour representatives who receive the JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) email newsletter "JMB Tour News." Miles will be awarded to the representative in a lump sum based on the total travel price after discounts are applied, including for accompanying persons, at the rate of 100 yen = 1 mile.
For example, if you book a tour from Haneda to Ishigaki Island with a travel cost per person of 90,000 yen for a group of three, you will earn the following miles:
| <Participant Representatives> |
| Flight miles: 1,224 miles (50% of the sector miles x 2 [round trip]) Tour miles: 2,700 miles (270,000 yen ÷ 100 yen) |
| <Companion 1> Flight miles: 1,224 miles |
| <Companion 2> Flight miles: 1,224 miles |
The representative participant will earn tour miles in addition to the regular flight miles, for a total of 3,924 miles, which is roughly three times as much.
Booking a tour is a great option, especially for group trips, as it allows you to easily add flights, hotels, and other options to smoothly plan your trip.
If you haven't traveled with family or friends in the last few years, why not try arranging a group trip for the first time in a while with JAL at a great price?

Now is the best time to visit Okinawa! Introducing our recommended tours
Another recommended travel destination for this coming season is Okinawa. The period from June to July after the rainy season is especially good for enjoying the beautiful beaches. Here we will introduce the JAL Dynamic Packages we recommend for your trip to Okinawa.
JAL "Love Story of Kumejima" (original version)
youtu.beEach island is full of different charms! A trip to remote islands where you can experience something out of the ordinary
The "Enjoy Okinawa and its remote islands" tour will take you to Okinawa's remote islands recommended by JAL, such as Ishigaki Island, Kohama Island, Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, Miyako Island, Kume Island, and the Kerama Islands, and will also provide you with an extraordinary stay at carefully selected hotels.
Kabira Bay in Ishigaki Island
For example, Ishigaki Island is a representative remote island. It is easily accessible from the main island of Okinawa by plane in about an hour, and the island's famous tourist spot, Kabira Bay, has been selected as one of the 100 most scenic spots in Japan. The glass-bottom boat ride, which offers a panoramic view of the beautiful layered blue of Kabira Bay and allows you to see colorful tropical fish, is very popular. Children are sure to be delighted if you visit with them.
Sea turtles on Tokashiki Island
If you have been to Okinawa several times, we recommend a trip to Tokashiki Island, located about 30km west of Naha. There are two major beaches, Aharen Beach and Tokashiku Beach, and the highly transparent and beautiful coral sea is known as "Kerama Blue", even by global standards. Sea turtles can sometimes be seen at Tokashiku Beach. It is a perfect remote island to enjoy marine activities.

Don't miss this opportunity as it also comes with a "JALPAK Local Coupon" that can be used for meals, sightseeing, etc. (excluding the Kerama Islands).
