Yubu Island (Yubujima)

Yubu Island, a small Okinawan gem measuring just about a mile in size, lies off the coast of Iriomote, Okinawa’s second-largest island. This lush strip of coastline is renowned for its vibrant bougainvilleas that bloom year-round and a captivating butterfly garden. The journey to Yubu is an attraction in itself, as visitors are transported from Iriomote through shallow waters by rustic buffalo-drawn carts, adding a unique and memorable touch to the experience.
