Transportation from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island is very convenient. It takes about 40 minutes by ferry⛴️. There is a bus from Ishigaki Airport✈️ to Ishigaki Port. Iriomote Island has two ports, but they are far apart, so it's best to confirm which port you need to go to in advance. Uehara Port has more ferry services, but they may be cancelled in bad weather. After arriving on the island, the hotel will arrange a shuttle bus🚌 to take you to the hotel. Hoshino Resort, although the facilities are a bit old, the overall environment is very good. The hotel is located in the jungle, just a few steps from the beach🏖️. And as Japan's first starry sky🌌 reserve, the beautiful starry sky at night is also a highlight. In terms of dining, Hoshino Resort offers a rich and local selection. Breakfast includes Japanese and Western options, fresh local fruit🥭 and traditional Japanese breakfast. The dinner buffet is very rich, including Wagyu barbecue🍖 and a variety of seafood platters, each dish is carefully prepared, very delicious. It is recommended to bring a chair to the coastline to watch the sea at sunset🌅, and remember to bring a bottle of cold beer🍻, the experience will be very cool.

#Checklist before travel ✔︎︎︎︎Dresses👗 I recommend wearing bright colors✨Especially long and flared ones. Wrinkle-resistant materials are even better◎ I wear a lot of ZARA and Self-ford! ✔︎︎︎︎Straw hats👒Not only are they practical, but they also look great just by having them🙌 I love Athena New York💓 ✔︎︎︎︎Camera📸My go-to camera is the GoPro HERO9! It's always fun to have a camera! And with a GoPro, you can take photos of the night sky and underwater, and it's easy to take photos of yourself✨ ✔︎︎︎︎UV hoodies☀️There's a big difference between having one and not having one! It doesn't hurt even when the sun is strong! I use the UNIQLO Airism UV hoodie😊 It's thin, so it's perfect for wearing over your clothes! ✔︎︎︎︎Matching items👫If you're going on vacation, I recommend matching outfits✨It will look great and be a memorable experience! We buy them locally and take them with us when we go on vacation afterwards 🥰 #travelpackinglist

Finally, we are introducing Pinaisara Falls♥️ on Iriomote Island, a treasure trove of natural beauty that is the pride of the world🌎, which has been designated a World Heritage Site👏🏻👏🏻.

A cafe along the beach at Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Kohamajima, called BEACH CAFE. We went there for lunch. Apparently you can enjoy a barbecue at night. It was nice to be able to enjoy a meal while looking at the ocean in front of us. I got the impression that the meals were mostly heavy. The fried chicken was absolutely delicious. The curry also looked good.

A buffet restaurant exclusively for guests staying at the RISONARE Kohamajima. The interior is stylish, reminiscent of red coral (although apparently it's not actually the case), and many of the dishes used are cute. The variety of food is surprisingly small, but the sweets are particularly impressive. The poolside seats on the left side of the entrance had a great view. Drinks other than those on the buffet (such as alcohol) are charged separately.

I did a lot of activities that let me experience the nature of Iriomote Island‼️ For those who like activities, this island and hotel is perfect🌲⭕️ The mystery of feeling the whole earth🌏 📸 Let's play at #Ida Beach! From the Iriomote Island Hotel, we took a car and then a boat to Ida Beach⛱️ We went into the sea surrounded by greenery, played with sea turtles🐢, floated around, and had a relaxing time🌊 📸#IriomoteJungleLibrary In the jungle, there is a library that collects books about Iriomote Island. Iriomote Island is humid, so why does it feel so cool in the jungle? 📸#IriomoteGuidedWalk We went around with a guide and learned about the nature of Iriomote Island. I was able to see many tree patterns on Iriomote Island that can only be seen when the air is clean, and I came back with a deep breath of air 🌳⭕️ 📸 ⛰️ I went trekking 🥾 through the jungles of Iriomote Island! Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace, and had a great time looking at all the different plants 🪴. There were some plants that were highly poisonous, and I felt the terror of nature...! 📸 #Tsukigahama Sunset Time Hold a sparkling drink (free) Watch the sunset at Tsukigahama, which is just a short distance from Iriomote Island 🌇 We brought our own chairs, found a good spot to sit and talk, and before we knew it, it was pitch black 🤣⭕️ 📸 Mangrove Kayaking at Dusk There are also many mangroves close to the Iriomote Island Hotel We went to see them at the same time as the sunset 🌆 The ocean was so clear and beautiful,,✨ 📍 Iriomote Island Hotel Address: 2-2 Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa 907-1541 #OkinawaTourism #YaeyamaIslands #okinawa #Okinawa #IriomoteIsland

Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Island Hotel aims to be "Japan's first ecotourism resort". You can stay here for a minimum of two nights. The room I stayed in was a deluxe twin room. It was a spacious 54 square meter room. It doesn't feel new, but it's kept clean. The terrace was also spacious, and there was a pool below. All rooms face the sea, and since it is along the beach, which is also a sea turtle nesting ground, care has been taken to prevent indoor light from reaching the sea at night. The lounge offers free drinks and snacks until around 6pm. One of the attractions is that you can enjoy latte art. This hotel is trying to be plastic-free and PET bottle-free, and you can see the various efforts being made, such as providing free rental bottles, eliminating disposable amenities, smart laundry without detergent, and introducing all-in-one soap that takes into consideration the burden on wastewater treatment. 💡Points💡 At first glance, some people may think it's a hassle, but I was able to stay there without any problems. May nature be preserved forever in its beauty, without being destroyed by human hands. 📍Spot name: Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Island Hotel Address: 2-2 Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa 907-1541 Phone number: 050-3134-8094 #Okinawatourism #Okinawatrip #Okinawa #Okinawahotel #Okinawatrip #IriomoteIsland #IriomoteIslandtrip #IriomoteIslandtourism

To get to Kohama Island from Ishigaki Island or other remote islands, you can take a ferry. This is the boarding point that everyone uses when going sightseeing on Kohama Island, but it is very small. There is also a small shop in the waiting area. Small souvenirs and drinks including alcohol are sold there. There are no bento boxes. The souvenirs are a little pricey, so it might be better to buy them on another island? There are plenty of chairs in the waiting area, so check the boat schedule and relax while waiting for the boat to arrive.

Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Island Hotel on Iriomote Island offers a minimum stay of two nights, and the buffet restaurant alternates between Iriomote Island and Asian cuisine each day. Huh? Asian? Is there anything children can eat? Some people may think so. However, Iriomote Island Hotel is popular with families with children. Don't worry. Other than the main menu, the menu is mostly the same every day, and there is a wide variety of menus available. Also, don't miss the alcohol drinking! All-you-can-drink beer, awamori, and awamori cocktails. There is a wide selection of awamori from the Yaeyama region, so it's a good idea to try a variety of them. 💡Points💡 I went around 8pm, the last entry time, and it was empty, which was great! 📍Spot name: Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Island Hotel Address: 2-2 Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa 907-1541 Phone number: 050-3134-8094 #Okinawa tourism#Okinawa travel#Okinawa#Okinawa hotel#Okinawa trip#Iriomote Island#Iriomote Island trip#Iriomote Island tourism

Ferries from Iriomote Island to Kohama Island and Ishigaki Island depart from Ohara Port. The ferry terminal is clean and spacious, and there are two souvenir shops. They sell stylish items, and although I saw the same ones later on Kohama Island, the prices here were far cheaper! There is also a shop called Jugon next to the terminal. There are a wide variety of souvenirs lined up. I especially noticed that there was a lot of brown sugar. The brown sugar soft serve ice cream that you can eat in was popular. It is recommended to do a lot of shopping for souvenirs as a memento of your trip to Iriomote Island. 📍Spot name: Ohara Port Address: Nakama Port, Haemi, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa Prefecture 907-1434 #OkinawaTourism #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaRecommendedSpots #IriomoteIsland #IriomoteIslandTourism

Tsukigahama Beach is right in front of Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Island Hotel. It's a calm beach no matter when you look at it, and it seems safe for small children to swim there. This beach is also a spawning ground for sea turtles, so the hotel has instructed all rooms to keep the lights from reaching the beach at night and has provided curtain clips. They also offer sparkling wine service in the evening, which is great for watching the sunset with a drink in hand. You can also enjoy kayaking and SUP, so there are many other ways to have fun.

Unarizaki Park Observatory is a popular tourist spot on Iriomote Island with a spectacular view. I rented a bicycle from Hoshino Resort Iriomote Island Hotel and went there. It's just the right distance for cycling, so I recommend it. The ocean directly below the observation deck is very beautiful. On the way from the parking lot to the observation deck, there was a path built by surfers that leads down to the bottom. It seems to be a good spot for surfing. The color of the ocean during the day is also very beautiful, but the sunset seen from here is also the best. I wasn't able to go at sunset this time, so I'd like to go see it again if I have the chance.

A hidden gem! Do you know Hatoma Island, one of the Yaeyama Islands? 🥹✨ It's about an hour by boat from Ishigaki Island! There are no tourists, and the population is only 60 people, so time flows slowly! It was an island where you could forget about time and truly escape reality. Its unique feature is that it has many beaches, but they are all connected, so you can walk between them! What's more! There are lots of fish on every beach🐟 and the waves are calm and easy to swim in! Even my friends who are not good at swimming were able to snorkel with peace of mind~🤿 It became my favorite island👒☀️ We rented bicycles, but most of us walked around~! 📍Place for lunch [Food and Drink Shop Firemaya (Kushike-ya Restaurant Relocation🍴🍙] #OkinawaTourism #IshigakiIsland #HatomaIsland #RemoteIslands #YaeyamaIslands

On the day we returned from Iriomote Island, we had some time before boarding the ship, so we also visited Yubu Island 🐃 It is a small island that can be reached by buffalo cart. When traveling to and from Yubu Island on a buffalo cart, you can hear Okinawan folk songs sung using a shamisen and stories about Yubu Island 🪕 When we arrived, we learned about the lineage of the buffalo and the history of Yubu Island, and you can also see various plants 🌴🌺 On a clear day, you can see the Manta Observatory on Kohama Island with the naked eye, as shown in the fourth photo 🌞 2-7 Yashima-cho, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, 907-0011 #OkinawaTourism #IriomoteIsland #YubuIsland

The other day, when I visited Iriomote Island, I went to the long-awaited Nmamaki Yamaneko Park. Yamaneko Park is a park in the Ohara district in the eastern part of Iriomote Island, Okinawa Prefecture. It is relatively easy to get to from both Ohara Port and Uehara Port. Yamaneko Park and Nmamaki Yamaneko Park are common names, and the official name is Iriomote East Park. Nmamaki is an island word that means "a place to play horses." Island words are difficult, but I'm impressed by how deep they are. Nmamaki won't lose even if he ends up with "n" in a word chain game. lol When an adult slides down this cat slide, he will go at a considerable speed due to his weight, so be careful. People with a fear of heights should also be careful. However, it is larger and taller than expected, so it is a recommended tourist spot when you go to Iriomote Island. Address: 201-14 Minamikazemi, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa 907-1434 Access: 50 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Island. 10 minutes by car from Ohara. 　　 #Okinawa Tourism #Iriomote Island #Slide #Cat #Yaeyama Tourism #Okinawa #Remote Island #777

I went to Kohama Island. I stayed at the RISONARE Kohama Island. The grounds are spacious and there are two pools. It was a very sunny day and I was able to see the starry sky. This time I went from Kansai Airport to Ishigaki. From there I took a ferry⛴️. The hotel shuttle bus picked me up right after I got off the ferry, so I don't think I needed to rent a car since it's a small island. There is only one store in the town, so if you want to bring something to the hotel, it's better to buy it before you get on the ferry. #summertrip #777

Visited in June 2023 *Hateruma Island Take a boat from Ishigaki Port to Hateruma Island⛴️ The waves are high and quite turbulent on the way, so you need to take medicine to prevent seasickness🙌 When you arrive, you can rent a bicycle, motorbike, or car, or if you make a reservation in advance, there is also a bus tour☺️ I went around the key points of Hateruma Island😊 ・Nishihama ・Stargazing tower (not in use at the moment) ・The southernmost toilet in Japan ・Hateruma Airport (no airplanes are flying) ・Communal shop in the village ・The southernmost post office in Japan (will be relocated soon) ・Awanami Sake Brewery ・Izakaya Agan (lunch) You can go around all of this on a day trip from Ishigaki Island, so you can go there casually😊 However, flights are often canceled, so be sure to check✨ #OkinawaTourism#HaterumaIsland #HaterumaIslandTourism #Nishihama #HaterumaIslandAwanami #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #BoatTrip #HaterumaPassengerTerminal #777
