This is a small island which has around 4 km in north of Iriomote island. Nothing is for sightseeing in this island, so we can really feel easygoing island for nothing to do. There is really beautiful sea and we can take Hosi-no-Suna (Sand which shaped a star) at the north coast. (8/98, 8/99, 8/00)
