- Spot Introduction -
- Iriomote Island
Iriomote Island is the second largest island after the main island of Okinawa. Approximately 90% of the island is covered in subtropical virgin forest, and it is an extremely valuable academic site, with 15 nationally designated natural monuments, including the Iriomote wildcat, the Crested Serpent Eagle, and the Yellow-margined Box Turtle. Approximately 40 rivers, large and small, flow through Iriomote Island, and many of them have mangroves near their river mouths. The mangroves in the Nakama River basin in particular are so majestic that they account for approximately one-quarter of the mangrove area in Japan as a whole. - "Miracle Island" Barasu Island
Barasu Island is a small island formed by a rise of white coral sand (barasu). The waters around Barasu Island are called Sekisei Lagoon, and are home to some of the largest and most beautiful coral reefs in Japan, and are also designated as a national park. The uninhabited island floats alone on the blue ocean, with nothing but pure white sand and emerald blue water. The water is highly transparent and the coral is beautiful, making it perfect for snorkeling. - Going down the valley (Splash Canyoning)
Use your whole body to descend the gorge created by the great nature of Iriomote Island. The multiple waterfalls and rocks are like a natural athletics course. Have fun to your heart's content on the diving boards, slides, waterfall pools, and other natural features. This is a super refreshing activity. - SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding)
A new and popular activity that has been gaining attention around the world in recent years. There are surely many people who have seen it on social media or in TV commercials. It is a fashionable new sport that originated in Hawaii, where you stand on a board floating in the water and move forward by paddling.
