Situated on the northern part of Yoron Island, "Minatabanari (Minata Hanari)" is a small, uninhabited remote island covered in pristine, subtropical trees, lying directly in front of the gorgeous Minata Beach. Located just a few hundred meters from the shoreline, it is a hidden nature spot that sparks a spirit of adventure, as visitors can walk across the shallow coral reef at low tide, or easily approach via sea kayak or SUP. The surrounding sea boasts a breathtaking, graduating emerald-green clarity; slipping just beneath the surface reveals a snorkeling paradise welcomed by vibrant tropical fish. Free from the clutter of commercialized tourism, this quiet space serves as a premier, secluded sanctuary to fully experience Earth's rich living forces with your entire body like a private beach.
