than 400 km further southwest of the main island of Okinawa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it is a far southern land compared to the mainland, it has a different subtropical climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iriomote Island is so warm that it can be said to be everlasting summer, and there are plenty of water areas where you can play with the sea, rivers, and waterfalls!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, more than 90% of the island's area is covered by a large, untamed jungle, and a number of exciting installation sites are scattered throughout the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have picked up several such photogenic Iriomote Island Instagram-worthy spots, so let's

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first one I would like to introduce is the Urauchi River.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is known as the longest river in Okinawa Prefecture, and because the salt content in the water differs between fresh water, brackish water, and seawater in the upper reaches and the lower reaches that extend to the mouth of the river, different mangrove forests grow in different clusters, depending on the salt content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mangroves are the representative trees of Okinawa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intricate roots extending strongly out of the water are very powerful, and are very popular for taking photos that convey at a glance that you have come to a tropical country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local tours basically begin at the mouth of the river facing the ocean and cruise upstream, allowing visitors to observe the shifting species of mangroves depending on the body of water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5228\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The charm of the Urauchi River does not stop there.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The river is connected to a number of atmospheric waterfalls, including Mariyudu Falls, selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, and Campire Falls, also known as the Seat of God, with a total length of 200 meters.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canoe cruising and Urauchi River mangrove sightseeing boat cruises are popular means of getting around the Urauchi River.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canoe cruising is a popular activity, and unlike sightseeing boats, you can steer your own boat and enjoy the river surface as you wish because it is small and easy to maneuver.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canoeing may sound difficult, but the canoes used in the activity are very stable, unlike those used for competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elderly people and women can paddle without problems, and since life jackets are worn, even those who are not confident swimmers can participate safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great advantage of the canoe is that it can accommodate two people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even those with small children can ride together, and it is also a good thing for friends or couples to enjoy together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5229\"

concentrate on taking pictures may enjoy the river more calmly here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is well known that taking pictures of the great nature of Iriomote Island from a boat that is slowly moving up the river is a great way to take Instagram-worthy photos.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, since

\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I would like to introduce Hoshinosuna Beach, the most popular spot in Iriomote Island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This beach is only a 5-minute drive from Uehara Port, the gateway to the northern part of the island, making it a very accessible location that attracts many tourists throughout the year.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name \"Star Sand Beach\" comes from the fact that the sand on the beach is shaped like a star.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same star sand often sold in bottles as Okinawan souvenirs is mixed in with the sand on the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can easily find star sand by scooping sand with the palm of your hand, and you may want to take a picture of this first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, star sand is not the only attraction of this beach.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the major attractions is that this beach is one of the best spots for marine activities in Iriomote Island.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ocean here is characterized by the presence of huge rocks offshore, and because these rocks act as wave blockers, the sea facing Star Sand Beach is very calm even on windy days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, there are many colorful coral reefs on the ocean floor, which attract many fish that call them home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is said that there are more than 100 species, and this variety is overwhelming compared to the sea at other points on the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The calm waters and abundant coral reefs combine to create a habitable environment for fish, and the underwater spectacle can truly be described as miraculous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The topography of the beach itself is shallow and does not rapidly become deeper, making it a safe place for families with children and for those who are not good swimmers.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of these features, it is also suitable for observing living creatures, and local tours for snorkeling and diving are frequently offered here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equipment rentals and instructor-led instruction are also available, so even beginners can take on the challenge without worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5232\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barasu Island cannot be missed as one of the most Instagram-worthy spots on a trip to Iriomote Island.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barasu Island is an uninhabited island located about 10 minutes by boat from Uehara Port, and is not marked on any maps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because, due to the small size of the island, the entire island is submerged and hidden by the sea at high tide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it can only be visited at limited times, and the only way to visit is basically to take a tour and be brought there by locals who know the time of day and the tides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The island is so small that it takes only two minutes to walk around it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why people go out of their way to visit such a place is because the island itself is a beautifully dyed white spot with spectacular views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

this island was formed by fragments of broken coral reefs on the nearby seafloor that piled up over a long period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When coral, a living organism, is crushed, only the calcareous remains of its bones are left, and the entire island is stark white because of this geological feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that not a single blade of grass grows on the island is a great advantage, and you can enjoy a 360\u00b0 panoramic view of the sea of Iriomote Island from an unobstructed location.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beautiful scenery is so popular that it is often used as a photo shoot location for weddings and for music videos of musicians and idols.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also the location featured in a commercial for Orion Beer, Okinawa's most famous beer company, and is a spectacular spot representing not only Iriomote Island but the entire prefecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, it is also perfectly Instagrammable, and many people are visiting these days for the purpose of Instagramming.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium

to the abundance of coral reefs.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waters of Barras Island are so clear that you can see far underwater, and if you are lucky, you may even spot sea turtles in your clear vision.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How about trying to get the best

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is trekking and climbing to the starting point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another attraction is the high activity factor, such as enjoying the waterfall as a waterslide when going down the canyon, or jumping into the waterfall basin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though you will be descending a canyon, you will rarely use canoes or other equipment, allowing you to fully enjoy nature with only your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The installations will be sure to be Instagram-worthy!<\/p>\n<h3><span

\/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contrast between the pure white coral beach under a clear blue sky and the emerald green ocean surrounding it is so outstanding that one can't help but let out a sigh of relief.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, tours that also include activities are popular, but of course there are also plans that only include landing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The landing-only plan is gaining popularity, especially among female customers, as their makeup inevitably gets smudged when they take a dip in the ocean during the activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, tours combined with activities are also very popular, and snorkeling, which does not require certification and can be easily enjoyed by beginners, is especially popular.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The underwater scene of colorful coral reefs and colorful fish is like something out of a fairy tale.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free underwater camera shooting is also available, so if you dive into the waters of Barasu Island, please enjoy underwater photography as

known for its jungle!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The great nature that has been recommended to UNESCO as a candidate for World Natural Heritage is a symbol of Iriomote Island itself, and you will surely be shocked by the untouched wilderness that you cannot believe to be in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel the strange trees, unfamiliar birdsong, and unfamiliar animals as you sway on the surface of the river and feel the tropical sun beating down on you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people may be concerned that it may be cold at certain times of the year because it is a waterfront activity, but there is no need to worry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iriomote Island has a subtropical climate and is very warm throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is it hot in the summer, but even in the winter, there are numerous days when the maximum temperature exceeds 20\u00b0C (68\u00b0F).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stable, warm air covers the island, so basically you don't have to be wary of the cold like you would in a mainland winter.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aim to be as Instagram-worthy as you want in a movie-like wilderness

the largest waterfall in Okinawa Prefecture, is a must-see if you are aiming for an Instagram-worthy experience!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several waterfalls on Iriomote Island that have anecdotes associated with deities, and this waterfall is one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicknamed \"the bearded waterfall\" in the local language, this waterfall is also a sacred place with a legend that a water god with a white beard is seated here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The atmosphere of the place, which is almost completely untouched by human hands, is one of a spiritual experience, while at the same time offering the exhilaration of a southern island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With such duality, Pinaisara Falls is a must-visit spot in Iriomote Island tourism.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main attraction of the tour is that you can enjoy both the location of the waterfall basin and the location above the waterfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the top of the waterfall, you can see Hatoma Island and the East China Sea, and it is no exaggeration to say that the spectacular view is the best in Iriomote Island.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only caveat is that trekking in the summer, combined with the heat, is reasonably strenuous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please consult with your own physical fitness and do not overdo it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span
