We participated in the Yubu Island sightseeing and Barasu Island snorkeling in Iriomote Island. For the Yubu Island sightseeing tour, we rode on a bus together and the guide who drove us around talked a lot about the local area and gave us trivia about the island. The guide was very considerate of the fact that I had injured my foot on Yubu Island, so he lent me a pair of shoes so that my foot would not hurt when I put on my fins. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy snorkeling without feeling much pain. They also took a lot of photos of us and sent us all the photos later. They took care of my health many times during the tour and it was a great memory. It was a lot of fun. I would like to go back.

We took the Ishigakijima⇔Iriomotejima boat on 10/22. It was ticketless and very nice. However, I was spoken to by a foreigner traveling alone on the ship who could not speak Japanese and asked me how to reserve a rental car. I was not sure if I could rent a car on the day without reservation, so I checked with the ship's staff as soon as I got off the ship and they told me to ask the ticket office. The staff at the ticket office told me that this was the ticket office of the ship and that I should ask the car rental company about car rentals. And since he did not speak English, he told me to do it myself. I had no choice but to ask the car rental company at the boat terminal, and I was able to get the car back to them. If the ship has been registered as a World Heritage site and many foreigners are coming to the area, why don't you consider broadcasting in English as well as Japanese on the ship? Also, I felt that the nature of Iriomote Island cannot be properly protected unless there is a system that a paper with precautions for foreigners is distributed at tourist information centers and signboards, or a guide for foreigners is attached to the island to prevent entry to the island. (For example, prevention of traffic accident of wild cat or not to touch natural plants.)
