If you are adventurous and want to really explore a beautiful place that is remote and yet a place with so many tings to do, then you really must visit Iriomote. I was there on an cultural anthropology visit with about 12 other people that was being lead by Dr. Barbara Golden. When our boat landed, the first thing I thought of was the island in the original King Kong movie, it was so remote, pristine and it was a real South Pacific / South China Sea island. We were met by a bus with several Catholic nuns in it and were taken to the other side of the island where they has several places for us to stay (boys place and the other was the girls place). We watche them make paper out of a native plant that when soaked in water for a few days in the hot sun kind of boiled the plant. Then 3 days in the sun and it was a very fiberous plant with long fibers that could be woven and beat into a very expensive paper. We also went to the beach to look for the smallest seashells in the world, we found about 10 pounds of them! Then we had several field briefings on the native plants, some were considered as extinct over 2.5 million years ago, they are a cross between a fern and a Ginko Biloba tree. they also have a cat on the island called the "Yama necko" or mountain cat. Every night we were free to walk around and visit before we had our traditional Iriomote evening meal. Iriomote is by far the one of the most beautiful and interesting Ryukyuan islands. The island north of Iriomote each have unique adventures that will await you, from an ox cart ride to seeing a "Turtle Back" Ocean floor. If you want to explore and have a very memorable time, visit this part of Japan, and please go to Iriomote as your dessert!

I spent a day biking and beaching on Taketomi and it could not have been better. A short ferry ride from Ishigaki, it is the perfect size to spend a day wandering around. This beach is the crown jewel - large, gorgeous, perfect water, sandbars, and facilities to rinse off.

I had a really enjoyable day with Taka and 3 other customers as we kayaked and hiked to the top and bottom of the Pinaisara Falls. The kayaking was easy but the hiking requires a bit of dexterity. Taka speaks English well and explained clearly essential information and a lot about the amazing nature we trekked through. He prepared a delicious Okinawan noodle lunch and a Mochi snack. I highly recommend this tour with this company!
