— Spot Introduction —
Located approximately 400 km southwest of Okinawa’s main island, Iriomote is a
secluded part of the Yaeyama Islands, with about 90% of its area covered in
natural forests. Iriomote Island’s rare, pristine environment has earned it
the designation of Japan’s first “starry sky conservation area.” Under
favorable weather, you may witness a breathtaking starry sky that feels almost
otherworldly. Come experience this enchanting night scene, far removed from
city lights.
