Iheya Island, Iheya-son

"Island where nature and people coexist" As the name [Island of original scenery] suggests, there are many untouched nature such as bare rocks and sandy beaches along the coastline. It takes about an hour and a half to get on the ferry 🚢 from Unten Port, Nakijin Village, on the main island of Okinawa. In terms of latitude, it is located north of Yoron Island, and the contrast between the emerald green sea inside the reef and the cobalt blue outside the reef is clear and beautiful. Compared to the Kerama Islands, which are accessible from Tomari Port in Naha City, I feel that the fact that they are not specialized in the tourism industry has formed a shape that strongly retains the goodness of the islands. The island stretches from north to south, and people live on the east side of the island, while nature on the west side remains largely untouched. On Iheya Island, there is a saying, [Iheya Jute], and there are many friendly people who never forget the spirit of hospitality. The main sightseeing spots are "Kumaya", which is the southernmost point of Japan, where there is the legend of "Ama no Iwato", and "Ken Hiramatsu". However, there are plenty of coral reefs, making it a fun spot for divers as well. There is no doubt that you can relax and enjoy the rustic atmosphere of the island🤣👍✨.

The island is recommended for scuba diving. The problem is that there are no decent hotels. There are only guesthouses and low-cost business hotel-level accommodation options. Compared to Ishigakijima and Miyakojima, there are fewer divers themselves, so overseas resort diving is vacant. The sea and sandy beach are so beautiful that you cannot imagine Japan. Various corals can be seen in the water, and the transparency is over 20m.

As for the pumice stone situation, there was a lot of pumice accumulated in the bay around Noho, but there were places where it flowed a lot and I didn't care much. The water was crystal clear
