About Iriomote island.
Iriomote island has an area of 289.27km² and a population of 2.266.This is the second largest in Okinawa Prefecture after Okinawa island it self.
This island called “Japanese Amazon”, because this is blanketed the largest mangrove forest in Japan.Fell the power of nature made a long time age in the original ecosystem.
When you look around in mangrove forest, you may find
Heritiera Littoralis named Sakishima Suo tree in Japan has buttress roots are large roots on all sides of shallowly rooted tree.That looks great taste.
The island is famed for the Iriomote cat, Crested serpent eagle, Critically Endangered wild animals.So this is
a valuable place academically.
Sights and Activities
I recommend wild activities canoeing, sea kayak, trekking, diving and snorkeling.
Iriomote is about mangrove.you have to view the mangrove!
Dense jungles and mangrove forest blanket more than 90% of island.70% mangrove forest in Japan lives only here.
So this is the hugest forest in Japan.
