Overview

An island garden accessible only by water buffalo cart.

Separated from Iriomote by a shallow strait, visitors cross on carts pulled by water buffaloes. The entire tiny island is a botanical garden filled with hibiscus, bougainvillea, and butterflies. It is a slow, charming, and very Okinawan experience.
