Let me tell you a bit of the charm of the island you enjoy on the above plan. It is hard to convey in sentences, but it definitely makes me want to go to the island absolutely.

Here, I will explain a little about the charm of visiting remote islands that you can enjoy with the plan introduced.

Since the gateway to the remote island of Yaeyama is Ishigaki Port, this tour starts from Ishigaki Island. Ishigaki Island itself is very popular as a tourist attraction, and there are many resort hotels. The meeting time is before 8 am and the required time is 8 hours for a round trip, so it would be convenient to save a hotel on Ishigaki Island that has good access to the platform of the Ishigaki Port remote island terminal.

Well, it's about time for the main subject. Let's say you board a pleasure boat and write about the journey ahead of you.

・ Iriomote Island
It is the largest island in the Yaeyama Islands with mountains, sea and rivers, and you can enjoy the blessings and nature. The entire island is designated as a national park. More than 90% of the area is subtropical virgin forest, and it is called "Japan's last unexplored island" covered with jungle and mangroves. Famous for encountering a variety of creatures on the island, it is an academically valuable place with 15 nationally designated natural monuments such as the Iriomote cat, the crested serpent eagle, and the Chinese box turtle. By the way, more than 400 species of coral and abundant marine life inhabit the surrounding sea, and one of the attractions is Japan's largest coral reef area "Sekisei Lagoon" between Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island.

・ Yubu Island
Yufu is a small island located just 400m from Iriomote Island, a subtropical paradise. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the most attractive of this plan is the "buffalo cart". People who migrated from Taketomi Island and Kuroshima began to settle on Yubu Island, which was originally an uninhabited island, and more than 100 people lived at its peak. At that time, it was a buffalo that came from Taiwan with the pioneers for farming. It became indispensable to the island's industry so that one animal was bred in each household, and now it is playing an active role as a buffalo cart. Even at high tide, the water depth is only about 1 m, so buffalo carts move back and forth between islands. It's hard to experience this "crossing over the sea with a buffalo cart", so I definitely want you to experience it. While the buffalo cart is moving, the driver will play the sanshin to entertain you, so spend a relaxing time with the sound and enjoy an elegant time. By the way, the set price includes the lunch price at the restaurant in Yubu Island. It is also a fun point to be able to enjoy the quiet time of remote islands and Okinawan cuisine.

・ Taketomi Island
After running through the famous Sugar Road on Kohama Island, which became the setting for the NHK TV series "Chura-san," you will finally reach the good old townscape of Taketomi Island. Free time is available here, and if you buy a ticket, you can rent a bicycle and take a walk. Condoi Beach, which represents Yaeyama, is a magnificent view that has never been seen in Okinawa, with white sand, cumulonimbus clouds, and a strikingly shining sea. There are also great diving spots with one of the largest coral reefs in Japan, and it is also the sea that divers all over the world long for. And the charm of Taketomi Island lies not only in the sea but also in the townscape of the island. It has a nostalgic scenery and is often used as a stage for dramas and movies, so it seems that many people visit it as a pilgrimage to the sacred place. You are free to act here, so let's take a walk around the isolated island.
