Access & Good value plan to Mariyudu & Kanbire Waterfall. 2020 12/17 西表島ぐらし 2019年8月16日2020年12月17日 URLをコピーする URLをコピーしました！ ※当サイトでは商品・サービスのリンク先にプロモーションを含みます。ご了承ください。 Hi～. Speaking of Iriomote island, you cannot forget about jungle! Most of the Iriomote jungle is undeveloped and there are almost no paved streets. Even to the famous waterfalls, you need to walk through animal trails.🌴 So it's almost impossible to get there without nature guides. Among the waterfalls, however, do you know there's one you can go by yourself? It is Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls! We got to get there a few weeks ago! (≧▽≦)♬ So I'd like to inform you about this～🌟(*´ω｀*) ジャンプできる！目次はこちら Where're Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls? Mariyudu waterfall and Kanbire(Kanpire) waterfall are located upper stream of Urauchi river, which is the longest river in Okinawa. Its length is about 39km. Thanks to its rich nature with lots of mangrove, there live about 407 species of fish and it's the best in Japan! Mariyudu waterfall is located about 10km from downstream boat dock of such great Urauchi river. </noscript><iframe data-src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d97804.81569838163!2d123.75375807139497!3d24.35717722653574!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x34608061e72cc6bd%3A0xb49354aab1162411!2z44Oe44Oq44Ol44OJ44Kl44Gu5rud!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1565138691836!5m2!1sja!2sjp" width="300" height="300" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen="" class="lazyload" > Kanbire waterfall is futher 0.6km upstream of Urauchi river from Mariyudu waterfall. </noscript><iframe data-src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d69159.21411156328!2d123.76324416777908!3d24.35577596888993!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x34607e07e9b0bd51%3A0x5627977ddf06ec61!2z44Kr44Oz44OU44Os44O844Gu5rud!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1565139187466!5m2!1sja!2sjp" width="300" height="300" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen="" class="lazyload" > See? Both waterfalls are in the depth of jungle of Iriomote island!🌴 What are Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls? ①Mariyudu waterfall Mariyudu waterfall is one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.✨ The water drops about 20 meters from 2 step fall. "Mariyudu" is named after the round shape of 130 diameter waterfall lake. "Mari"→round"Yudu"→(stagnant) pool From the viewing spot in jungle, you can enjoy the full view of Mariyudu waterfall and impressive power of water.💪 ②Kanbire waterfall It's about 0.6km walk from Mariyudu waterfall. You'll arrive at Kanbire waterfall whose name means "seat for God." The rock surface is about 200m wide. With water's roaring sound, you can enjoy dynamic and magnificent view of Kanbire waterfall. You can get close to the fall, bathe your feet in the cold water and enjoy lunch or nap at river side.♬(≧▽≦)🍴 Access & Good value plan to Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls♪ ■Access Because both waterfalls are located inner depth of jungle, you cannot drive to the place. We take a pleasure boat and walk from downstream boat dock.🌺🚢 Uehara Port ↓ Shuttle bus or Car rental（15 min.）Urauchi River ↓ Walk (2 min.)Urauchi-kanko Info desk ↓ Walk (1 min.)Downstream Boat Dock ↓ Pleasure boat（30 min.）Upstream Boat Dock ↓ Trekking（30 min.）Mariyudu waterfall ↓ Trekking（20 min.）Kanbire waterfall It takes about 50 minutes (one way) to waterfalls. The road to Mariyudu is not an animal trail. As in the following pic, it's a little paved so that you can walk easily.👍 The road to Kanbire, on the other hand, is a kind of animal trail.You need to watch your step, but don't feel nervous! You won't get lost. It is "jungle trekking!" ■Fare to waterfalls You don't need to make a reservation for Urauchi river cruise and Jungle trekking to Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls! Arriving at Urauchi river, get a ticket at Urauchi-kanko ticket desk.☆👛 Urauchi River CruiseAdultJPY 2,200ChildJPY 1,100 As a comparison, if you want to see waterfalls other than Mariyudu & Kanbire falls, you cannot go by yourself and need to ask nature guide. Therefore, price is about 7,000yen or up for half-day tour and more than 10,000yen for one-day tour including insurance and rental fee of beach sandals etc. I do like to join a tour and get to know animals or plants hearing stories from nature guide, but it's also great if we can go to waterfall by ourselves, isn't it? ■More valuable plan! Now you know Mariyudu and Kanbire waterfalls are reasonable falls to visit, but here's a more valuable plan for you! That is, get advance online ticket for Utauchi river cruise AND high-speed ferry round-trip from Ishigaki✨ If you get a ticket by this way, total 1,260yen off!!! 💕 Isn't it really reasonable??

In that case, let's ask boat captain to change the departure time of return boat.😉 For your information, taking the 6th boat allows you only 1.5 hours trekking time.💦 So if you'd like to visit 2 waterfalls, take the 5th boat at the latest!! What to wear and take to waterfalls? Even though road to Mariyudu & Kanbire waterfalls is easy to walk, it's still in jungle. So you'd better wear shoes not sandals.
