The crystal blue of Barasu island

#getgoing2025 It is located about 10 minutes by ferry from Uehara Port on Iriomote Island. Balas Island, which appears due to the rise and fall of the tide, is truly a phantom island that is not on the map! There are only pure white coral sand beaches and emerald green seas on Balas Island. You can feel like you're in paradise. It is also very popular as a snorkelling spot! Colourful coral reefs and tropical fish spread out in front of you, and if you're lucky, you can also meet sea turtles. At dusk, you can also see the beautiful scene of the sunset over the orange-dyed sea.
