\Record of Iriomote Island Activities/ ⁡ Iriomote Island is great for activities! Trekking, kayaking, snorkeling... Trekking wasn't as far as I thought it would be, so I was able to conserve my energy and move on to the next activity◎ It was fun to have the guide explain the plants and other things in detail as we walked! Once you get used to kayaking, you can paddle faster, so you'll gradually become a pro✨ (lol) Snorkeling was the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. The color of the sea, the sea turtles, the coral, everything was beautiful🐢🪸 Next time I want to go diving🫶🏻 #IriomoteIsland #DomesticTravelTrip
