What is Sagaribana?
Iriomote Island, covered with pristine virgin forest, is famous as one of the best activity fields in Japan.
Typical activities on Iriomote Island include canoeing to enjoy mangrove rivers, snorkeling, and diving in the beautiful sea.
However, a tour can also be enjoyed only in limited seasons.
That is the Sagaribana viewing tour.
This Sagaribana flower is at its best from mid-May to late July.
It is also called a “phantom flower” or “tropical overnight flower” because the flowers fall in just one night.
The delicate pink and white flowers blooming in the dark jungle are beautiful.
Because they must pollinate overnight, the Sagaribana is known for its vanilla-like solid fragrance.
It is fantastic to smell the sweet scent of the Sagaribana in the jungle at night.
