14.4.2022(Thu)

Yesterday, I arrived most south point in Japan however already dark so, I took some photos again.

So, now let begin my journey!!

I’m walking belong the road, discover the building.

It’s looks like planetarium.

I tried to open the door but it was locked so I couldn’t enter.

There are a lot of goat in the island.

I was wandering around hamlet, I want buy something.

I bought a bottle of juice, rice ball and walnuts with sugar.

Rice ball was good taste salt, I think special salts.

walnuts were little bit sweet.

Original manhole, there was drawing the Southern Cross.

Nisihama beach was fantastic however little bit cold.

I’ve around the island so, go back to Ishigaki island.

I want to go to next island…however I can’t go there…because of high wave.

I can go to the island on next Tue…oh, dear.

I had no choice, I decided go to Iriomote island.

I’ve arrived in Iriomote island.

I’ll stay in Uehara port.

Day 2 Iriomote island and Robinson

15.4.2022(Friday)

Today is raining and cloudy.

I just wandering in the town, then I discovered strange flowers.

I could met a man.

His name is Robinson.

He is very famous in my mind.

These fruits are called “Sutanga”.

Drive with Robinson and came good view points.

He told me about this place.

Usually, here waves are very calm however today’s high wave.

Today’s breakfast and lunch.

A bottle of salt soda and some cake.

In Iriomote island can’t enter the mountains.

When you go to this island, you should apply to guide tour.

This time can’t leave port from Uehara port so, I have to move on Oohara port.

From Uehara port to Oohara port takes 1 hour so, when you get the ferry in Oohara port just care about it.

Go back to Isigaki island.

Very beautiful pupas. So beautiful!!

In this picture color is yellow, however real one is golden.

I think just emerged from pupa.

Let go to cave.

Amazing!!

I’ll go to look out.

This road is steep.

I arrived divergence…the sign says right is astronomical however I have to 1.4km to walk.

Actually I don’t walk anymore so I decided go to look out.

It was really good view…unfortunately…the weather was cloudy.

When I see these ferns, my feel is lost in the jungle.

This plant is really curious, because four leaf are white however others are green.

I have no idea these white leaves are change color.

White to green or same?

I ordered goat noodles.

Actually the noodles have little bit smell but meat is really tender and going to melt in your mouth.

Today’s dinner is rice with Spam. yum yum

I walked all most 17km today.

I’m exhausted.

The stone wall, orange tiles and I could see well.

I came to museum, but closed.

I ride on carries and the water buffalo pull over.

It’s takes 15min and the while driver talks about island, houses and songs.

It was good taste.

What’s the beautiful shore isn’t it ?

The pedestrian crossing is in the middle of corner so, that why strange shape.

However it’s a unique idea, I like it.

The bean-jam bun was sold in port.

Green is mugwort, and purple is purple sweet potato.

But this island is almost flat so, I’m not tired.

A sailor came and picked up a ticket.

Sailor: what’s that ?

Sailor: where are you going?
