[A paradise of jungles and ocean] An adventure trip on Iriomote Island, surrounded by nature

Iriomote Island, located in the Yaeyama Islands, is the "Galapagos of the Orient" with over 90% of the island covered in subtropical virgin forest🌴🦜 There are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as canoeing through mangrove rivers and trekking to waterfalls, that allow you to become one with nature! Rare plants and animals such as the Iriomote wildcat live here, making it a must-see for nature lovers. When you actually visit, you'll be overwhelmed by the tranquility and the vast scale of nature that you can't experience in the city, and you'll feel like your mind has been reset✨ There are also many guided tours, so even beginners can enjoy them with peace of mind. [Access] It's about 40-50 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Island. After arriving at Uehara Port or Ohara Port, travel by bus or rental car 🚢 The island is large, so it's best to decide on the area in advance ◎ [Travel tips] ✔️Day trips are possible, but staying overnight is recommended (the starry sky is also amazing!) ✔️Guided tours are safe and fulfilling for canoeing and trekking ✔️Insect repellent, waterproof gear, and comfortable shoes are essential items!
