RNJ is the airport code for Yoron, or Yoronjima, a small coral island at the southern end of the Amami island chain in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, lying just north of Okinawa. Ringed by reefs and clear turquoise sea, Yoron is a quiet subtropical island known for its beaches and slow pace. Its most famous sight is Yurigahama, a pure white sandbar that rises out of the lagoon offshore only at low tide between spring and autumn, reached by boat and often described as a phantom beach. The island also offers snorkelling, diving and gentle coastal scenery. Yoron is reached by air to its small airport, with flights from Kagoshima, Amami and Naha in Okinawa, or by long-distance ferries running between Kagoshima and Okinawa. The climate is subtropical, warmest and best for the beaches from late spring through autumn, with mild winters.
