A round trip fare is 1370 yen for an adults and children are 690 yen. When we arrived at Ie Port, we rented bicycles. Probably, you think that it will be tiring going around the Island by bicycle. However, it was so awesome. You do have to ride a bicycle.

Wajee

Wajee

It is located at the northwest bank of the Island and means, "underwater spring." Local people still use it an important source of drinking water from the old days. Now, Ie soda and Awamori using the water of Wajee have been produced and they are popular among locals. On a sunny day, you can see incredibly beautiful scenery.

Bijiru Stone

Niyathia Dou

At first, we went to “Niyathia Dou”. It is located in the southeast. From Ie port to Niyathia Dou is about 15 minutes by bicycle. While you go to there, you can see the beautiful sea and you can feel a comfortable wind. When you arrive in there, you can see a beautiful scene. The sunlight is streaming through from the outside of the cave and a transparent sea that can be seen from the cave is very mysterious. There is also a mysterious stone. It is called, “Bijiru Stone.” When you lift this stone, a boy is born when it is heavy, and a girl is born when it is light. It is known as a power spot to many people.

Soki soba

Zenzai

Parlor Penshima
We recommend a good place when you are hungry on Ie Island. We will introduce “parlor penshima." From Ie port to there is about 3 minutes by bicycle. It is a small parlor, so you have to look around carefully. When you find it, you can eat a good meal. We ate Soki soba and Ice Zenzai so we recommend them. This Soki soba contains pork, kamaboko (fish-paste loaf), green onions, red ginger and soup. You spend only 550 yen, you can eat such a delicious one and become full. If you finish eating the main dish, you will want to eat Ice Zenzai. It is a famous frozen sweet in Okinawa. It is only 300 yen and if you pay 350 yen milk syrup is added to it.
