Nice to meet you! I am Nacky, a native of Osaka who moved to Iriomote Island because I was fascinated by the island. When I visited Iriomotejima for the first time on a trip, I was captivated by the nature and the warmth of the people, and I decided to move to Iriomotejima because I wanted to know and tell more about this place. I realized that I have been living in Iriomote Island for 7 years now.

Currently, as a staff member of [ADVENTURE PiPi], I am providing activity experiences to visitors to Iriomote Island and writing articles of local origin for tourists.

We are providing information on sightseeing spots, popular beaches, how to enjoy each season, and how to choose tours from a local's point of view, placing importance on conveying the charm of Iriomote Island in a "realistic" and "easy-to-understand" manner. We deliver useful information so that even first-time travelers can enjoy Iriomote without anxiety.

What is Iriomote Island like? Which activity should I choose? We will tell you about the present state of the island with all our hearts and minds!
