FAQ
Iriomote Island is situated in the Yaeyama Islands group, part of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It is known for its subtropical climate and dense jungle, covering approximately 90% of the island. The geography is characterized by extensive mangrove forests, numerous rivers like the Omija River valley, and a rich ecosystem, home to diverse wildlife including the rare Iriomote wild cat.
To reach Iriomote Island from Okinawa, travelers typically first fly from Okinawa's Naha Airport (OKA) to Ishigaki Airport (ISG) on Ishigaki Island. From Ishigaki Island, you can then take a high-speed ferry to Iriomote Island. There are no direct flights or ferries from Okinawa Main Island to Iriomote Island.
The primary transportation method from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island is by high-speed ferry. Ferries depart from Ishigaki Port and arrive at either Ohara Port or Uehara Port on Iriomote Island. The journey typically takes between 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the destination port and sea conditions.
Yes, visitors arriving at Iriomote Island typically disembark at one of two main ports: Ohara Port (Ōhara Kō) on the southeast coast or Uehara Port (Uehara Kō) on the north coast. Ohara Port is generally less affected by strong winds and offers more consistent ferry services, while Uehara Port is closer to many popular attractions. It is advisable to check the ferry schedule for your desired port.
During the jungle canyoning experience at Omija River valley, participants will use their entire body to descend through the river valley. This involves climbing over multiple waterfalls, navigating through natural pools, and experiencing the exhilarating feeling of jumping into clear waters. The activity is set amidst the vast, pristine nature of Iriomote Island, offering a unique adventure.
