| @Optional tour |
| We joined optional tour to go to Iriomote island. It's 10500 yen. |
| @High-speed ship |
|
|
| FWOOOOOSH! I didn't get seasick, because the ship listed and listed... and jumped and jumped. My heart was almost jumping out. I thought I had better not get on the ship. These pictures are the Ishigaki island seen from the ship. |
| @Urauti River |
|
|
| We got on the boat, and saw the rainforest, mangroves, roots like a plate, and so on... we can see a lot of plants. If you are lucky, you can see an Iriomote cat swimming across the river. I thought of Amazon... ^〜^ This looks like a submergence jungle??? I cannot see through the river. |
|
|
| After disembarking the boat we went deep in the forest. The road was easy to walk... I am grateful to the pioneers. When I went more, FALL, Fall, fall... there are a lot of beautiful falls. Our goal was to see Maryudo fall and Kampirey fall. I heard some of the sightseers who went to see Maryudo fall fall into the cascade and get serious injured every year. Upriver of the beautiful Maryudo fall has a lot of holes. |
| @Star sand beach |
| I picked up many shells and corals here. The driver said, "there are only small star sand, so don't expect too much." Decidedly it was small... (T T; |
| @Yufu island |
|
|
| When you go to Yufu Island you got on water buffalo car. Because of the strong wind, is your way you walk to a bit strange, Mr. water buffalo!? You can walk across the sea when the tide is ebbing. When we reach the Yufu island, we can see the trick world... the fort is the height that I almost hit the head. |
|
|
| The creatures that found in the Yufu island... Hey, Mr. hermit crab??? You are shy, aren't you? |
| @Ishigaki island |
| Talking of Ishigaki island, I guess "Ishigaki cattles". GYUuuu... ^^; We ate dice stakes! That was very delicious. However, it was a bit expensive... |
