The spring in the northwest of Iejima is called Wajii😊 The spring is a very important water source that supported the lives of the islanders who suffered from water shortages in the past, and it is said to have been named after the fresh water that springs from the water's edge below a cliff over 60 meters high✨ You can enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean from the observation deck😊 *Spring (Wajii) 4278 Higashiegami, Ie Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture 905-0501 #gw2022jp #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #RemoteIslandTrip #Iejima #Spring

Iejima is located about 30 minutes offshore by ferry from Motobu Port in central Okinawa. This small island, about 24km in circumference, was on the front line of the Battle of Okinawa during World War II, and about 40% of its territory is still under US military control. Contrary to that story, it is a very laid-back and idyllic remote island. The biggest event on Iejima is the Iejima Lily Festival, held during Golden Week. About 1 million trumpet lilies and rare lilies from around the world gather together, and you can enjoy the combination of the blue sea unique to Okinawa and the colorful lilies. During the festival, various events are held, various food trucks are set up, and photo booths are set up. The park is decorated with tosspots and carp streamers, and is crowded with many tourists. The park is not very large, so you can enjoy it in 1-2 hours.

From the Churaumi Aquarium, you can see an island shaped like a tricorn hat offshore; that is Iejima. The symbol of the town is a rocky mountain called Tacchu. It's a surprisingly steep climb considering it's 172m above sea level, but the view from the top is amazing. Be sure to also visit Sennin Gama, where many islanders took refuge during the war. #OkinawaTrip

The symbol of Iejima, Shiroyama, commonly known as Tacchu, can be clearly seen from the main island of Okinawa. It is an object of worship for the islanders and a sacred place. Iejima Tacchu is a rocky mountain with an altitude of about 172m that stands slightly east of the center of the island. The islanders call it "Gusuku" or "Gusukuyama". It was quite hard to climb, so we took breaks along the way. When we reached the top, the view was spectacular! The patchwork-like fields and the sea were very beautiful. It's slippery on rainy days, so it's best to avoid it. *Iejima Tacchu 〒905-0501 Higashiegami, Ie Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture #gw2022jp#Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #Iejima #RemoteIslandTrip #IejimaTacchu
