- Spot Introduction -

• Iriomote Island (Mangrove forest)
  
  A vast natural island with pristine forests, most of which is subtropical
  jungle and is part of Iriomote National Park. It is also known as the
  Galapagos of the Orient, and is home to the Iriomote wildcat, a protected
  species.

  
  

• Yubu Island, which can be reached from Iriomote Island in about 15 minutes by water buffalo cart, is one of the Yaeyama Islands. It is a small remote island and also a botanical garden with a subtropical world.

  
  

• Taketomi Island is an isolated island about 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port. It is a small island with a circumference of about 9 km, and there are three villages on the island that are designated as Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings, with rows of Okinawan red-tiled houses, creating a charming scene. In the villages with a calm atmosphere where buffalo carts come and go, you can encounter the original scenery of Okinawa. On this tour, you can take a leisurely stroll or tour the beautiful island on a bus, or take a glass-bottom boat tour in the crystal-clear sea.
