7.3 Iriomote jima (Pinaisara Falls)

Thanks to great guide Naoko san -karmy walk- I could visit Pinaisara falls.










To reach the Hinai river needs a long hiking through the jungle, amazing ferns ...

and huge "looking glass tree" famous for its large upwards-growing root structure. They can be seen in many parts of the island.

This wood resists moisture and it was used for boat rowers.

Pinaisara waterfall, 55 meters, is the highest one in Okinawa.

Can be found on the upper portion of the Hinai river.
The trail is not so precise, expert Naoko san knew even shortcuts and different ways to go up and down.

Some times not so easy :)
(joking, don´t be affraid)

Wonderful view of the Hinai river and Funaura.
