Kayaking – Iriomote | We are Japan X

Kayaking – Iriomote

Okinawa

Wild Iriomote

Kayaking the coast of an almost deserted tropical island sound like your perfect adventure? Try Iriomote.

Floating on the southernmost tip of Japan, Iriomote is truly off-the-beaten track. With a coastline complete with gleaming sandy beaches and clear blue waters, guests can experience unique marine life and beautiful ocean sunsets from the comfort of a kayak – gliding through the island’s peaceful waters with dense forests as their backdrop.

Here, nature-lovers can explore the largest coral reefs in Japan off the coast of Iriomote, complete with clown fish in their anemones, gliding manta rays and the unique Ryukyu yellow-margined box turtle. Plus, Iriomote’s pure white sand is an essential habitat for sea turtles as they use the islands beaches as nurseries for laying their eggs.
