in the archipelago. The population is approximately 2,400.<br \/>\nThe Nakama River, which boasts the largest mangrove watershed area in Japan, and Yubu Island, reached by a buffalo cart across the sea, are well known.<br \/>\nApproximately 90% of the island is covered with subtropical virgin forest, and is known as a precious place with 15 national natural treasures such as the Iriomote wildcat, crested serpent eagle, and Semaru box turtle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E5%85%AB%E9%87%8D%E5%B1%B1%E8%AB%B8%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF\"><\/span>What are the Yaeyama Islands?<span

Iriomote Island, and Taketomi Island.<br \/>\nDid you know that the westernmost inhabited island is Yonaguni Island and the southernmost is Hateruma Island?<br \/>\nIt has a subtropical marine climate that differs from that of the main island of Okinawa, and has its own unspoiled nature and culture.<br \/>\nYou will feel as if you are visiting a foreign country.<\/p>\n<h2><span

explanation of typhoons in Iriomote Island.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%84%E3%81%A4%E5%8F%B0%E9%A2%A8%E7%99%BA%E7%94%9F%E3%81%AF%E5%A4%9A%E3%81%84%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>When are typhoon outbreaks more frequent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Like other prefectures, Iriomote Island is said to be prone to typhoons from July to September.<br \/>\nData show that typhoons approached twice a month in July and September, and as many as four times a month in August.<br \/>\nKeep in mind that precipitation increases with the approach of typhoons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E8%A5%BF%E8%A1%A8%E5%B3%B6%E5%8F%B0%E9%A2%A8%E3%81%AE%E6%99%82%E3%81%AE%E9%81%8E%E3%81%94%E3%81%97%E6%96%B9\"><\/span>How to spend at the time of typhoon in Iriomote Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let's take a closer look at how to spend your time when a typhoon approaches.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E6%97%A2%E3%81%AB%E8%A5%BF%E8%A1%A8%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AB%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B%E5%A0%B4%E5%90%88\"><\/span>If you are already in Iriomote Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a typhoon approaches while you are enjoying your trip in Iriomote Island, please do not go out and stay in your hotel for your own safety.<br \/>\nWhen the winds weaken, you may decide that you can go outside now, but when the wind is blowing directly at you, you are at greater risk of an accident.<br \/>\nIf you have made advance reservations, cancel them as soon as possible because sightseeing and activities will not be possible when the typhoon makes landfall.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E5%8F%B0%E9%A2%A8%E3%81%8C%E6%9D%A5%E3%82%8B%E5%89%8D%E3%81%AB%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%B8%E6%88%BB%E3%82%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8C%E8%B3%A2%E6%98%8E%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>Is it wise to return to Ishigaki Island before the typhoon hits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you know in advance that a typhoon is coming, we recommend that you return to Ishigaki Island.<br \/>\nThe reason is that the ferry will not be able to operate and you will likely be stranded for days.<br \/>\nIn addition, when the typhoon makes landfall, it rains and winds violently, making it impossible to go outside and enjoy sightseeing and activities in Iriomote Island.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%A9%E3%81%86%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AB%E6%88%BB%E3%82%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E6%99%82%E3%81%AF\"><\/span>If you absolutely cannot return to Ishigaki Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you cannot return to Ishigaki Island due to an approaching typhoon, prepare for the typhoon and stay at the inn where you are staying.<br \/>\nSince it is difficult to go outside, make sure you have food and water as well as a cell phone and mobile battery.<br \/>\nIn the event of a strong typhoon, be aware that power may be cut off.<br \/>\nFerry service status is not known until the last minute, so check accordingly.<br \/>\nRemember that any transportation, hotel, or activity reservations you have made must be cancelled according to the situation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AB%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B%E5%A0%B4%E5%90%88\"><\/span>If you are on Ishigaki Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When a typhoon approaches, it is difficult to go out due to heavy rain and wind.<br \/>\nIn the worst case, winds can knock down utility poles and cause power outages.<br \/>\nKeep a flashlight, a radio that runs on dry cell batteries, first aid supplies and other emergency equipment, and enough water and food for one or two days.<br \/>\nCell phones and mobile batteries for information are also essential.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Typhoons that originate near the equator move northward while passing near Iriomote Island due to prevailing westerly winds.<br \/>\nIn July and August, the Pacific High often has a strong and unstable path, but from September onward, the Pacific High will weaken and it will be easier to ride the prevailing westerly winds from the continent.<br \/>\nIn addition, the easier it is to ride the prevailing winds, the faster the speed will be.<br \/>\nThe course of the road often moves northward in a \"U\" shape, shifting slightly depending on the time of year, but not changing significantly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

activity in which you stand on a board and paddle to the surface of the water.<br \/>\nThere is no particular skill required, so anyone from the elderly to children can easily enjoy it, and it is growing in popularity.<br \/>\nIf you want to enjoy the mangroves up close and personal, SUP or canoeing activities are recommended.<br \/>\nOn rainy days, you can see the rain-soaked mangroves and the lively creatures that live there, so you can enjoy the smell of the natural forest and the rain with all your senses.<br \/>\nThe mangrove SUP experience is usually combined with a tour along the
