A remote island that can be enjoyed on a day trip! Ie-jima.
It is a remote island that can be reached in 30 minutes one way by ferry from Motobu Port near the aquarium.
Because you can carry the car by ferry, the drive on the island is good,
There are some slopes that go up and down like the road to Mt. Tachu, but it is recommended to go around the island by rental cycling because other roads are flat.
You can get a 360-degree panoramic view of a beautiful and peaceful island by climbing the “Gusuku-mountain,” nicknamed “Touchu.” On the west coast, there are sea reefs and stunning scenic spots that can be seen from the cliff Waji. The Lily Field Park, which faces the sea, hosts the lily festival every year from mid-April, attracting many people. This is a place where Easter lily, the flower of the village, and lily of the world are in full bloom. There is an observatory in the park. There are many other attractions such as Nyatya Cave and Iejima Beach. ”
Chrysanthemum Chiu at Fantastic night
On this island where chrysanthemums are cultivated, the chrysanthemum Chiu, a method of growing chrysanthemums by lighting them up at night, is famous.
Depending on the season (approximately from October to February), the illuminations of the chrysanthemum farmers begin to illuminate at around 11 o’clock at night.
The light of the warm miniature bulb that spreads all over is very fantastic. (Details of lighting time depend on each farmer.)
When you stay in a private house, if you are lucky, the host of the guest house will take you to the drive at night!
There is an observatory at the entrance of Mt. Touchu at night. The collaboration with perfect star visible from there and the chrysanthemum Chiu at shinning farm is a secret superb view spot.
