I think most of the people who travel to Iriomote Island are not from subtropical regions like Iriomote Island, but from the mainland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, you will be spending time in an environment that you are not normally accustomed to, so you will need to prepare carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the tropical island of Iriomote, the sun is very strong, so sunshade measures are essential. In addition, squalls during the rainy season are strong, and other measures are necessary according to the unique subtropical environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This article introduces essential items and useful goods for Iriomote Island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Please make your Iriomote Island life comfortable with the items we will introduce!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A0%E5%AD%A3%E7%AF%80%E3%81%AB%E3%81%82%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F%E6%9C%8D%E8%A3%85\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(1) Clothing appropriate for the season<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a matter of course, you need to dress appropriately for the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You may have a strong image that subtropical Iriomote Island is always warm, but actually it is not always so. In winter, you may feel unexpectedly cold because of the strong north wind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We will briefly introduce the climate of Iriomote Island in each of the four seasons and the appropriate clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A1%E6%97%A5%E7%84%BC%E3%81%91%E6%AD%A2%E3%82%81\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(2) Sunscreen<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is no exaggeration to say that \"sunscreen\" is an essential item for a trip to Iriomote Island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because Iriomote Island is close to the equator, it is warmer and sunnier than other areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Especially in the summer, the sun's rays can sting your skin. It is common for people to get so absorbed in their activities that they spend the entire day playing, ignoring the fact that their sunscreen has been removed. However, the end result is a red, sore body that can ruin your leisure time. To prevent this from happening, it is important to apply sunscreen frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A2%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sunglasses<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;\u30b5\u30f3\u30b0\u30e9\u30b9\u306e\u5199\u771f&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultraviolet rays also enter through the eyes. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays from the eyes can cause inflammation of the retina (the part of the eye that directly receives light), which can lead to vision loss or, in the worst case, blindness. Therefore, sunglasses are essential to protect the eyes from UV rays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These days, UV-protective glasses are sold instead of sunglasses, so it is advisable to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, since the level of UV-blocking capability also depends on the lenses used, it is recommended to wear sunglasses with as high a UV-blocking rate as possible. Today, sunglasses with degree protection and glasses with polarized lenses are also available, so those with weak eyesight should make use of such products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A3%E5%B8%BD%E5%AD%90\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(4) Hat<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;\u5e3d\u5b50\u306e\u5199\u771f&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On Iriomote Island, some activities such as trekking and canoeing are done under the sun for long hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, public transportation is not well developed, so unless you can drive to a place, you will basically have to travel on foot. Therefore, the sun inevitably shines on the head for a longer period of time. Continuous direct exposure to the sun can cause head irritation and heat stroke. To prevent such a situation, wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun and drink water frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A4%E9%9B%A8%E5%85%B7\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(5) Rain gear<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;Photographs of rain gear<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since Iriomote Island has a subtropical climate, squalls peculiar to the subtropical zone may occur. Squall means a sudden heavy rain. It is similar to the image that a large amount of rain falls in a short time and stops immediately. It is easy to understand if you imagine an evening shower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Basically, this is most common during the rainy season, but it can happen regardless of the season, so it is best to have rain gear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It would also be good to have during the typhoon season in September. One small portable rain gear is sufficient, considering the bulkiness of the luggage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A5%E6%97%A5%E7%94%A8%E5%93%81\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(6) Daily necessities<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;Photographs of daily necessities<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is best to prepare daily necessities in advance. In Iriomote Island, it is not acceptable that you can just go to a convenience store for daily necessities as you can do in the mainland. In addition, there are many tourists like you in such places even if they are stores selling daily necessities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It will be a battle in such a situation. Please enjoy a comfortable life so that your trip to Iriomote Island will not be worn out by such a situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A6%E7%8F%BE%E9%87%91\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(7) Cash<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;Photographs of cash<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Iriomote Island is also gradually becoming modernized with the construction of fashionable stores and hotels near the port. However, it has not been able to completely cope with the cashless system. Recently, various cashless apps have been released, and the corresponding responses have been progressing, but the traditional stores and private farms have not been able to keep up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, cash should be kept on hand in case of emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%95%E3%81%84%E3%81%94%E3%81%AB\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">in the end<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We introduced essential items and useful goods in Iriomote Island. How was it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After all, in the tropical island of Iriomote where the sun is strong, UV-protective goods were indispensable items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There was also a need for rain gear and cash, although that is the nature of the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Please simulate what you need for your trip to Iriomote Island, think well in advance, and send us your best trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thank you for reading to the end.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Essential items and useful goods in Iriomote Island Hello everyone!
