Relaxing Tour of Iriomote & Yubu Island
Cruise along the Nakama River on Iriomote Island, home to Japan’s largest mangrove forest. Then, ride a traditional water buffalo cart across shallow waters to Yubu Island—a small subtropical botanical garden about 2 km around.
Stroll through the lush gardens and enjoy an Okinawan-style lunch at the island’s restaurant.
Iriomote, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since 2021, is rich in rare wildlife. The tour includes a stop at the Wildlife Conservation Center, featuring exhibits and videos about the endangered Iriomote wild cat and local fauna.
※ The center visit may be skipped on closed days or during busy periods.
This easygoing tour is suitable for all ages and a great way to explore Iriomote and Yubu Islands at a relaxed pace.
