The Nakama River Mangrove Cruise & Yubu Island Sightseeing Tour was great! I was impressed by the beauty of the mangrove forests and the trip to Yubu Island by buffalo cart was an enjoyable experience. We also visited the Iriomote wildcat conservation center, which was a valuable experience. Parents and children participated in the tour, and children could enjoy it free of charge. We also enjoyed the souvenir shops and cafes. I recommend this tour!
