I requested this tour for a trip with my elderly mother. After careful hearing in advance, the driver took us around Iriomote Island in consideration of my mother's physical strength, and she was very satisfied to be able to visit the places she wanted to go. He also told us a lot about the nature and history of Iriomote Island, and we could know more and more about the goodness of Iriomote Island. The day we went there was very cold and windy, but the handmade Yushi Tofu Soba noodles we had for lunch were very delicious.

I went trekking to Kula Falls. Iriomote Island is really amazing nature. I went with my husband and two daughters (1st and 5th grade elementary school students), and the children were very satisfied. They were happy to find Totoro leaves on the way. They were very happy to be able to swim in the waterfall. They want to come back to Iriomote Island again.
