On behalf of the Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE), APF Canada is pleased to invite Kakehashi alumni to a special online event. Okinawa’s second largest island, Iriomote is one of Japan’s best-kept secrets. Home to stunning natural beauty, Iriomote offers a unique blend of lush mangrove forests, crystal-clear waterfalls and rivers, pristine beaches, coral reefs teeming with marine life, and the rare Iriomote wildcat—an endangered species found only on the island.
Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site in 2021, the island is a paradise for eco-tourism and outdoor activities and connection with Japan’s unspoiled wilderness. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventurer, or just looking for a serene escape, Iriomote guarantees an unforgettable experience.
