The island appears only at low tide, and its size changes with the tide level. It is surrounded by an unobstructed 360-degree view of the marine blue ocean!

★Snorkeling in the sea around the island!
The surrounding "Sekisei Lagoon" is the largest coral reef in Japan, part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park!

★Free photo data!
