Iriomote-jima Review

2020 due to the epidemic, it is difficult to see foreign tourists on the island. As Chinese who cannot return home, there is a trip to Okinawa that is just a walk away at the end of the year. After the plane landed on Ishigaki Island, he took a boat to Xibiao Island. The mangrove forest on the island is well ecological, and the islanders are also very kind and humorous. Because it is rainy weather and winter, I did not participate in the diving project this time. Turning around the hotel aimlessly, I came to a pristine beach - Nakano Coast. The beaches filled with plastic waste contrast with the clear waters, and it is truly a shame to feel the atmosphere of the motherland in this way.

Xibiao Island (Hypername: いりおもてじま, Roman pinyin: Iriomote-jima) is the largest island in the Bazhongshan Islands of the Ryukyu Islands, and the second largest island in the Ryukyu Islands. It is located about 20 kilometers west of Ishigaki Island. The area of Xibiao Island has 289 square kilometers and the island has a population of about 2,000 people. The administrative division belongs to Takefuchi, Yaseiyama, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

Located in Okinawa, Japan, the area is four times that of Hong Kong Island, and more than 90% of the island is the last developed virgin forest. Tourist activities on the island are mainly diving, fishing, rowing or picnic. The Buffalo ride on the island is a classic activity to visit the island of Sibiu, and it takes 15 minutes to ride on the buffalo ride on the shallow beach, which is only 1 meter deep at high tide. In addition to taking a cow cart, you can go canoeing on the main river on the island of Nishimoto, while exploring deep into the forest to experience the original atmosphere of Japan's last virgin forest.

An island where you can touch a lot of nature such as mangroves

A day trip to Nishimoto Island was set at the Ishigashima Bus Terminal. There are many types of day trips. We chose the toughest hiking + kayaking + swimming * triathlon self-abuse type that wades through the stream. But this can go deep into the secret. Shocking clean. The more inward the more deserted. Be sure to come for a few nights next time. Enjoy the tranquil and beautiful sea view.

Xibiao Island is a seriously underestimated island. Although it belongs to the outlying island of Ishigaki, it is bigger than Ishigaki Island. The area of the island above 90 ％ is the original rainforest, known as the last pure land of Japan. We stayed here for 2 days and rented a car. Basically, the whole island has a road to visit (there is no road in the southwest of the island is the original rain forest). In addition to the two ports of Dayuangang and Shangyuangang, no one is seen in other places. You can enter the rain forest by boat from Punechuan and explore no man's land on foot.
