Located approximately 400 km southwest of Okinawa’s main island, Iriomote is a secluded part of the Yaeyama Islands, with about 90% of its area covered in natural forests. Iriomote Island’s rare, pristine environment has earned it the designation of Japan’s first “starry sky conservation area.” Under favorable weather, you may witness a breathtaking starry sky that feels almost otherworldly.
