The appeal of Iki is its crystal clear waters, power spots, and spectacular views. It is easily accessible from Kyushu, and is attracting attention even among remote island lovers.

What makes it easy to enjoy Iki is Iki Taxi's sightseeing service “Glutaku.”

A driver who knows the local area will guide you to places of interest such as shrines and popular tourist spots in an easy-to-understand manner, so even first-time visitors can use it without worry.

The natural beauty that changes with the seasons and the relaxing time on the island are also attractive. Even if you have a limited time, you can visit Iki efficiently.

★ Example of a model course ★

Gonoura - Sai Shrine - Kurosaki Fort Ruins - Saruiwa - Haranotsuji Ruins (Ichigoku Museum/Royal Capital Restoration Park) - Shochu Factory - Sakyohana - Harahoge Jizo - Gonoura

Sai Shrine: This is a shrine where high-impact symbols are enshrined.

Kurosaki Battery Ruins: It is a war remnant that is said to have been set up to attack ships passing through the Tsushima Strait, and although it boasted “the best firing range and destructive power in the East,”

The war came to an end without ever being used in actual combat.

Saruiwa: Monkey Rock, the symbol of Iki. This strange rock with a height of 45 meters created by nature looks just like a “monkey facing away”!

Haranotsuji Ruins: Ruins that were regarded as the royal capital of “Ikikoku (Ikikoku)” in “Gishi” Japanese Jinden (Giwa Jinden). It is said that from the Yayoi period to the beginning of the Kofun period, there were large-scale multi-ring moat settlements. *A separate admission fee is required for the museum

Shochu factory: Iki is the birthplace of barley shochu! Why don't you take a look at local sake brewing, which has a history of 500 years?

Sakyobana: It is the most spectacular spot on the island, with many steep cliffs, and its name probably comes from Onmyoji who swept the rain during the drought period in the Edo period.

Harahoge Jizo: 6 Jizo statues standing facing the sea. It is said to save us from suffering and trouble in the Rikudo (Hell, Hungry Demon, Shura, Humans, Heaven).
