We start at 7am. The water between Iriomote Island and Yubu Island is shallow enough to walk across. Usually, we cross this section by buffalo cart, but this time we will walk across. After arriving on the island, we will have breakfast at Manta Beach while watching the sunrise and Kohama Island. After that, if we have time, we will have free time to explore the island, which is completely to our own liking. We will also have the opportunity to interact with "Rui-kun", the only model buffalo on the island, and take a commemorative photo. On the way back, we will ride a buffalo back to Iriomote Island.
