[Exclusive Discount] Ishigaki Buffalo Cart Tour to Iriomote Island & Yubu Island

A Relaxing Nature Exploration to Enjoy Iriomote Mangroves and Yubu Island Buffalo Cart in One Day

Iriomote Island and Yubu Island are some of Okinawa's most relaxing islands. This course is a bus tour that takes you to Iriomote Island, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and the small Yubu Island, which you cross by buffalo cart.
First, enjoy a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River on Iriomote Island, entering Japan's largest mangrove forest. Listen to the guide's explanation of the island's nature, where rare creatures such as the Iriomote wildcat, Kanzuri, and box turtle live, and feel the charm of Iriomote Island, which is called Japan's last unexplored region. Afterwards, take a buffalo cart that slowly crosses the shallow sea to Yubu Island. As you glide across the water, listening to the sanshin performance and the guide's story, you'll feel as if the sense of time in your daily life is loosening. On Yubu Island, where the entire island is a tropical botanical garden, you can enjoy a walk and lunch while observing subtropical trees, flowers, and various creatures.
The composition is smooth, from gathering to transportation, cruises, lunch, and island walks, so it is recommended for family trips with children as well as trips for parents.
