Okinawa, Japan is a popular recommendation to conclude an exciting trip to Japan. There are many islands to explore which makes Okinawa a perfect destination for island hopping.
Let’s take a look at one of the many beautiful islands to explore: Iriomote.
Escape to Iriomote Island, part of the Yaeyama Islands, for a serene honeymoon adventure. A diverse subtropical environment, with a mountainous jungle core giving way to mangrove forests and flashes of pristine sands at the coast.
