A kayak tour of the hanging flower on Iriomote Island only available to guests staying the night before! You can take photos with a professional camera for free! Waterproof bags are also included in the price during the tour. Seasonal One-Night Flower Hanging Flower Tour The tour period is from 6/20 to 7/25 (excluding 7/1 to 12 due to camping tours). Hanging flowers are widely distributed throughout the Nansei Islands, but on Iriomote Island, they are very rare because they grow in colonies along the river. At dawn in the middle of the night, we float our kayaks on the quietly flowing river and row along the river while listening to the voices of the waking ruddy kingfisher and other birds. Looking up, the starry sky shines...the morning glow of the beginning of the day shines in the eastern sky. The scent of the hanging flower reaches us as we row, and then the figure of the hanging flower floating on the river appears. Looking up at the hanging flower that has not yet fallen...the sight of it quietly falling into the river is very fantastical. On the way back, the sunrise makes us and the hanging flowers shine, and we return feeling the wonderful day. We will spend precious time with you and have a special time that can only be enjoyed on a private tour.
