5 elections of sightseeing and Activity recommendation in Iriomotejima where rain can be enjoyed
Iriomotejima in the place where it's approximately 400 km away from the Okinawa Hon-jima to the southwest. It's also a fun area to enjoy great outdoors fully on the day which cleared up, but the spot even rain can enjoy often exists. So 5 spots to which I'd like to go out by all means on the day when it rains at Iriomotejima are chosen. When holding the spot I'll introduce now, I'm relieved at sudden rain. Please also enjoy Iriomotejima fully on a rainy day by all means.
1I go on a Experience atelier, I'm here, "mangrove dyeing Experience"
Mangrove dyeing by which the gentle texture is charm
The mangrove from which Iriomotejima is judged everywhere. Experience of dyed goods using this mangrove is very popular. Experience can enjoy itself comfortably without a set a day of reservation's worrying about other guests for limitation.
Mangrove dyeing at this atelier is performed by tie-dyeing. It's tied by thread and it's dyed by the liquid made with one kind of mangroves and leather of OHIRUGI so that the design one imagined may go out. In the later when how it was finished untied thread, enjoy yourself. A work only of one should become a memory which doesn't fade away forever surely in the world.
The dyed design is the perfect original.
It's possible to choose the size of the T-shirt from 150cm-XL. It's also possible to dye an item you like such as an ecology bag and cotton stoles besides the T-shirt.
A natural dyeing weave in addition to mangrove dyeing, production of a charm strap and seesaw china-painting, Experience, can, so, I'll choose the menu you like. An owner moves to Iriomotejima, and it's said to be the 25th year. You're a maid of memory making while feeling the natural energy of the island.

A form of trick is necessary to how to take it out with the design, but an owner tells me politely. They're dyed goods of the natural material, so I'm relieved at with children. I'll bring great outdoors in Iriomotejima home by nice dyed goods.

2Iriomotejima traffic "my company river mangrove cruise"
Reservation is unnecessary and the biggest mangrove forest in Japan is visited freely.
A basin is designated by a natural protection district as the 2nd in my big company river at Iriomotejima. A mangrove forest of the Japanese maximum level is spread in both banks on a river, and it's possible to enjoy a tour in a mangrove forest from a cruise ship.
A ticket can be bought at the shop which is next to the Ohara harbor terminal "dugong". Reservation is unnecessary, so it rains and when it was cancellation, other Activity is convenient. I recommend "SAKISHIMASUOUNOKIKOSU" which can visit a big tree of the Japanese maximum level.
When there is a raincoat, the cruise which can also be enjoyed in the day when it rains is still relieved.
SAKISHIMASUOUNOKI of an age of the tree for about 400 years is designated as a national natural monument. I go to the upper reaches which become an enjoyment point by boat, walk along about 30 m of esplanade and aim at SAKISHIMASUOUNOKI by this cruise ship. I'll check the navigation timetable beforehand because the starting date of the course is limited.
There is a roof in the cruise ship, but when a raincoat is taken, the day when it rains is relief. It's also useful for cold protection as well as a rainy measure. A raincoat is being also sold at a ticket agency "dugong", so I'd hope that you buy it.

3Iriomotejima outdoor tour POLEPOLE "canoe (kayak)+ gekikyou caving"
Mangrove kayak and thrilling Experience where a cave expedition is a set
The tour guide who knew everything of nature in Iriomotejima guides rowed mangrove kayak and caving a vast river. Time has come to the inn or the harbor at decided time, so movement is easy. A tool of the tour can also receive rent, and extra clothes and valuables can participate by minimum belongings.
The cave visited by a caving is the name street gekikyou of the tour, but when it's possible, thrilling Experience is here and is very popular than a usual caving. When the degree of satisfaction of the person who participated isn't also considerable precipitation even if it rains highly, the tour is no problem, saigyou.
They feel change completely from the world of darkness and the fantastic scenery is wide.
A full-time tour guide chooses the spot for which it's difficult to be crowded as the river visited by a kayak, so the sense like being reserved can be enjoyed. Later of a lunchtime, I challenge a gekikyou caving increasingly. It'll be year-round holding, but to become very hot for summer, without forgetting water supplement. When it goes through a cave of narrow to which I say that it's also finally that one person passes, the scenery feels changes completely and the mysterious scenery is wide.
A person worried about the figure and the person who has a chronic disease and phobia will consult beforehand certainly it'll be safe and to take a fun tour. It'll be participation from on the nature of the tour and a junior high school student, so please be careful.
