5 recommended sightseeing spots in Iriomote Island for GW
Nainu beach
Nainu Beach is a 30-minute walk from Minamikazumida Beach, about a 10-minute drive from Ohara Port. Although few people may access this beach because of the distance, it is worth the time.
Heading offshore from the center of Nainu Beach, there is an area where the water is deeper, where there are coral colonies and colorful tropical fish. Sea turtles often visit the beach to lay their eggs, so there is a high probability of encountering sea turtles. For this reason, it is also called a sea turtle paradise. Why don't you swim with sea turtles in such a paradise?
Hinai Beach
Hinai Beach is located in the Uehara area and has only a breakwater that loses its sandy beach at high tide. The area between the main road and the beach is thick with vegetation, and the entrance is difficult to find, so there are few tourists even during the hot season. Snorkeling is allowed on this beach, and the water is shallow, so it is safe to play.
Name: Hinai Beach
Address: 870 Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa
Mizuochi Falls
Funauki is an isolated island on land in Iriomote Island, accessible only by boat from Shirahama Port. Mizraku Falls, located on such an isolated island on the land, is at the end of the mangrove river across Funauki Bay by canoe or boat using a tour.
Cruising while surrounded by mangroves is very relaxing. The difference from other waterfalls is that the water of Mizuochi Falls pours directly into the surface of the water. When visiting by canoe, you can go into the back where the waterfall water pours down.
Name: Mizuochi Falls
Address: Funauki, Taketomi Town, Yaeyama County, Okinawa Prefecture
Access: Canoe tours and other sea routes only
Parking: None
Meals (nearby): None
Toilet: None
Omija Road Park
Omija Road Park is a rest spot near the mouth of the Omija River that is used as a field for activities such as shower climbing and trekking.
Omishe Road Park has a parking lot and a pavilion, so visitors can easily stop by for a break from driving. It is also a spot where locals visit for lunch.
The Omija River's banks are rocky and wall-like, providing a different experience from other rivers. Omija Road Park is also equipped with an observatory, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea of Iriomote Island.
Omija River has fewer tourists than Urauchi River and Nakama River even during the GW season, so it is recommended for those who want to play with a high degree of freedom!
Name: Omija Road Park
Address: Uehara, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa
Access: 35 minutes by car from Ohara Port, 15 minutes by car from Uehara Port
Parking: Available
Meals (nearby): None

Nala Falls
The fields used for river activities, which are popular as sightseeing, are all easy enough for beginners and children to enjoy! For outdoorsy types who want to step up their game with more challenging field activities, we recommend Nala Falls. Nala Falls is a secluded spot deep in the jungle covered Nakara River!
It is a long course starting from the Shirahama canoe dock to the Nala Falls, a distance of 15 km. Compared to other activities, it is obviously harder and requires more physical strength, so if you are confident, please give it a try!
The harder the course is, the fewer the number of tourists, so you can enjoy it without any inconvenience. After rowing a long distance, you will be filled with a sense of accomplishment. After cruising, you can relax your body in the clear water. You can also swim and play in the large waterfall basin, so you will have the unexplored waterfall all to yourself!
Name: Nala Falls
Address: Iriomote, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa
