Iriomote & Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan
Ishigaki Island (石垣島, Ishigakijima) is the main island of the Yaeyama Islands and the region's transportation hub. Ishigaki City, Japan's southernmost city, is the Yaeyama's only urban center and is the site of the region's major airport and boat terminal, as well as lots of hotels, shops, restaurants and bars.
Iriomote Island (西表島, Iriomotejima) is Okinawa's second largest island. Largely undeveloped, nearly 90 percent of the island is covered by dense jungle and mangrove forests, much of which makes up the Iriomote National Park, the southernmost of Japan's national parks.
