かなえ
Ishi-Osada coast?
ひさぽん
Yeah.
かなえ
It's not Gajumaru.
It's not Gajumaru.
It's mangrove.
ひさぽん
It's mangrove.
かなえ
Yeah.
ひさぽん
Yeah, so...
かなえ
They're dry.
ひさぽん
Mangrove is basically a plant that grows in seawater.
かなえ
Seawater is a mixture of seawater and river water, right?
ひさぽん
Yeah, it's a plant that grows in a mixture of freshwater and seawater.
That's what mangrove is.
But here, it's mostly seawater.
Oh, it's not seawater. I'm sorry.
It's mostly seawater.
It's a rare plant that grows in a place with a lot of salt.
It's a place where there's almost no river that flows into it.
But it's a place where there are a lot of them on the sea side.
かなえ
There were a lot of them. There were a lot of small ones, too.
ひさぽん
It was cute.
It was cute.
It's pretty big.
According to the guide yesterday, mangrove is...
I thought it was a body that can only live in seawater.
But it's not supposed to be in seawater.
It's got a filter that removes salt from the roots.
So it's just getting the water it needs.
It's supposed to be okay if it's in seawater.
So it's a theory that if it's in seawater, it'll have a lot of filters.
Why is it in seawater?
That's how they grow.
かなえ
It was cute.
ひさぽん
It was cute.
かなえ
And after that...
ひさぽん
We're going to head east along the south side of the road.
There's a beach here, but there's not much of a way down to the beach.
We're going to go through here.
かなえ
Kohomo Island doesn't have a road that's set in stone.
There's no sea side.
ひさぽん
There's no sea side.
Basically, it's about three-fourths of the island.
It's a little bit inside.
It's like a roundabout.
It's a little bit like a hotel.
かなえ
There's a roundabout in front of the hotel.
That's right.
It's called Gofurin.
There weren't many roads that could go down to the beach.
ひさぽん
That's right.
There weren't many.
かなえ
There's a lot of ups and downs.
We had to go down the road to get to the beach.
ひさぽん
We had to go back up again.
かなえ
It was a big downhill.
ひさぽん
That's what it was like.
I've been there once or twice.
It wasn't that big of a deal.
It was beautiful.
かなえ
It was a little cloudy.
It was raining today.
The sky was thick with clouds.
It was a little dark.
ひさぽん
If you notice it as it is...
To the resort.
かなえ
There's a star resort on Kohama Island.
There's a different resort called Haimurubushi.
There's a golf course.
There were a few men with golf bags on the boat we took home today.
ひさぽん
There's a Kohama Island Country Club on the resort.
かなえ
I thought I'd go golfing and go home.
ひさぽん
Resorts and golf courses.
Most of the places on the island were resorts.
かなえ
It was a private property, so I couldn't go in.
ひさぽん
That's what it was like.
So we couldn't go to the east end.
We took a detour.
We went to see the beach.
And then...
かなえ
We went to the mountains.
The symbol of Kohama Island.
There are two small mountains in the middle of the island.
ひさぽん
They're called Ifudaki and Nishiufudaki.
There was a way to read it, but I forgot.
It's supposed to be Ifu.
It's a big triangle.
かなえ
It's called Ifudaki.
It's in the west, so the other one is Nishiufudaki.
It's like two small clouds.
Two small clouds.
The higher one is Ifudaki, but it's still 99 meters.
It's less than 100 meters.
Less than 100 meters.
ひさぽん
I'm glad it's Nishiufudaki.
It's Nishiufudaki and Ifudaki.
かなえ
In Ifudaki, there was a place called Koutomori in the old days.
かなえ
There was a place called Yaeyama in the old days.
Foreigners used to come and attack.
ひさぽん
It's a place to curse.
かなえ
That's right.
It was a place where they lit a fire to spread the message to everyone.
Now the scenery is good.
ひさぽん
Koutomori is a way of reading Hateruma.
I see.
Koutomori is Hateruma's Hibanmori.
Each island has a different way of reading it.
Hibanmori...
It's called Hibanmui.
It's a forest of fire.
It's called Hibanmui because it's a forest of fire.
It's located at the top of Ufudaki.
I think it's the best Hibanmui in Hibanmui.
かなえ
We went to Yamareko.
From Ufudaki to Nishiufudaki.
It's like a heavy railway.
There were stairs, so we went there.
ひさぽん
That's right.
It's 1km away.
かなえ
It's 66 meters uphill and 66 meters downhill.
ひさぽん
It was cute.
It was a cute journey.
You can go from Ufudaki to Nishiufudaki and go home by car.
かなえ
I recommend it if you want to walk.
ひさぽん
I liked Nishiufudaki better.
Nishiufudaki is longer.
Nishiufudaki is wider.
The whole area was open.
かなえ
There was also an azumaya.
ひさぽん
Both have azumayas, but Nishiufudaki is wider and longer.
There was a day of Chura-san in Nishiufudaki.
I saw Goyama for the first time in a long time.
It's fun.
I'm happy.
かなえ
It's nostalgic.
It's been more than 20 years.
ひさぽん
When was Chura-san?
かなえ
It's been almost 30 years.
ひさぽん
When was Chura-san?
Chura-san?
When?
I just realized.
When?
How many years has it been broadcast?
It says 2001.
It's been 24 years.
かなえ
Is it that long ago?
ひさぽん
I see.
かなえ
There was a sugar field on both sides of Chura-san's drama.
There was a road in the middle.
I also passed the place with the name Sugar Road.
ひさぽん
That's where Chura-san's location was.
And the house that became the location.
Was it Kohagura-so?
Kohagura-so.
The building of the location remains as a model.
It's a private house, so you can't go inside.
かなえ
You can only visit the front door.
ひさぽん
I went to Kohagura-so.
And I went into the village.
かなえ
There was only one shop.
ひさぽん
It was a normal shop.
There were no souvenirs.
It was a normal summer shop.
The lunch box looked delicious.
I thought it was the cheapest lunch box in Japan.
It was the cheapest.
It was 600 yen.
かなえ
It was a lunch box with a lot of volume.
It was made by Ishigaki.
He brought it by boat.
ひさぽん
I hoped that Ishigaki would sell the lunch box.
I think so.
I went to the post office.
They made me go to the post office.
They made me go to the post office of a woman dancing in Kohama Island.
かなえ
When you go to a place,
ひさぽん
do you go to the post office?
かなえ
They sold souvenir tickets.
But I don't think there was such a thing.
ひさぽん
They made me go to the post office.
I wrote a letter.
I passed Sugar Road.
It was like going back to the terminal.
かなえ
Sugar Road was full of sugarcane fields when you were in Chura.
Yes, it was.
ひさぽん
But now it's more like...
かなえ
There are a lot of places that have turned into livestock farms.
ひさぽん
It was a cow field.
かなえ
There were a lot of cows and it was a pasture.
Sugar Road is getting less and less.
ひさぽん
Yes, there were almost no sugarcane fields.
There were a few at the entrance and the exit.
かなえ
Sugar Road is like a city that's about to end.
There was a brown sugar factory in Kohama.
ひさぽん
Yes, there was a brown sugar factory.
I didn't eat brown sugar in Kohama.
かなえ
There was no place to eat it.
There was a souvenir shop selling one-bite-sized sweets.
ひさぽん
Yes, but it was expensive.
Well, there's still some brown sugar left.
I guess that's about it.
I didn't do anything special this time.
It's been a while since I've had a leisurely trip.
かなえ
Yes, it was raining.
The weather wasn't very good in the beach in winter, so I couldn't see it well.
ひさぽん
When I came to Iriomote, I thought that the blue sky and the blue sea would be higher.
かなえ
And Iriomote Island was very close.
ひさぽん
Yes, it was very close.
かなえ
I was wondering if I had walked all the way there.
ひさぽん
Yes, and Yubujima, which I remember.
かなえ
Yubujima was right in front of me.
Yes, it was right in front of me.
According to Wikipedia, it's only two kilometers away from Kohama Island and Iriomote Island.
Two kilometers.
ひさぽん
I wonder if I can run there.
かなえ
No, no, no.
I feel like I can run there.
But the Yonara Waterway in there is quite fast and deep.
Because the colors are different.
ひさぽん
Kohama Island and Iriomote Island are very shallow, but there is a cut in Sekisei Shoko.
There is a place where there is a beautiful deep waterway.
That's the Yonara Waterway.
That's the only place that's deep, isn't it?
That's why it's said that Manta passes through here every season.
It is famous as a place where divers can see Manta.
There was a huge Manta observatory in Kubazaki Park.
Yes, there was.
I just remembered that I forgot to take a picture.
Well, it was Manta.
かなえ
Yes, it was Manta.
ひさぽん
Yes, it was Manta.
かなえ
Kohama Island is surrounded by coral reefs.
You can only see the coral reefs on the map,
but if you look at Google Earth,
you can see a lot of coral reefs.
If you look at the sea,
you can see that the back of the sea is dark and the front is blue.
It was an island where you could see that there were so many coral reefs.
That's right.
ひさぽん
It's easy to see that there are coral reefs all around.
It was easy to see because there was a western bay.
かなえ
I thought it would be very beautiful when the weather was good in summer.
ひさぽん
It seems to be a very relaxing place.
Next time I come to Kubazaki Park, I would like to stay at a Japanese homestay.
かなえ
That's right.
There was also a burger shop that I was interested in.
I couldn't go this time.
ひさぽん
There was a booth cafe in front of the ferry terminal.
I heard that there was a teriyaki burger using Kohama Island's brown sugar.
It was a very delicious Kohama burger.
I heard that there was a booth cafe in front of the ferry terminal.
I heard that there was a booth cafe in front of the ferry terminal.
I couldn't eat it because I went to Fukugi in Kubazaki Park.
The ferry terminal is in front of me, so if you come in summer, please come.
It looks delicious.
Looking at the photo, it looks very delicious.
Kohama Burger.
かなえ
On the way home, I was wondering if I would buy it for dinner.
It was already closed in the evening.
ひさぽん
It was written that the operation time was until 4 o'clock.
It was already closed when I got back to the ferry terminal about 20 minutes after 3 o'clock.
I think the operation time is written for summer.
かなえ
I think so.
There were few restaurants where I could eat lunch.
ひさぽん
I agree.
There were few restaurants.
I think there were many izakaya.
The shops I went to were rare.
I heard that there are two or three shops.
I heard that the shops in front of the ferry terminal are open all day.
I heard that there are only one or two shops in the city.
I heard that the shops in front of the ferry terminal are not open all day.
