- Spot Introduction -
・Stargazing & Night Safari (Iriomote Island)
Iriomote Island is located about 400km southwest of the main island of Okinawa
and is one of the remote islands that belong to the Yaeyama Islands, including
Ishigaki Island. About 90% of the island is covered with natural forests, so
it is a precious island that has retained its rich nature and unique ecosystem
to this day.
In addition, Iriomote Island, which has a rare starry sky environment in the
world, has been certified as the first "starry sky conservation area" in
Japan. If the weather is good, you may have a chance to see a starry sky!
Please come and experience the romantic and moving starry sky that you can't
experience in the city.
