Iriomote Island
Destination3 list appearances
Choose Iriomote for time on rivers and under a forest canopy. Mangrove trips, waterfall walks and the island’s subtropical habitat give a stay a different focus from the coast-first islands. Part of Iriomote belongs to a World Heritage property inscribed in 2021. Five natural sites have entry controls under the local ecotourism system. Choose your excursion before booking the ferry so you know whether to use Ohara or Uehara and whether a registered guide should handle the application.
