The agent provides extensive remarks about Iejima Island. Accessible by a 30-minute ferry from Motobu Port, Iejima is a small island with a population of about 4,200, renowned for its beautiful, untouched scenery. It boasts stunning white sand beaches surrounded by reefs. The island's symbol, Gusuku Mountain (known as "Iejima Tacchū"), is a historic power spot, offering panoramic views of the horizon from its summit. The island hosts tourist events like the Lily Festival during Golden Week and the Iejima Marathon in April. Furthermore, Iejima features a multi-purpose sports facility, including a baseball field operated by Mizuno, used for training by professional baseball players and for the spring camp of the Hitachi, Ltd. baseball team. There is also a "Twin Gateway Concept" to redevelop and utilize the currently unused Iejima Airport as a gateway for tourism in northern Okinawa. The airport's use is also being considered as a solution to alleviate traffic congestion expected with the completion of the Okinawa theme park (Junglia) in 2025.
The area is defined by its serene island life and natural beauty. A notable nearby landmark is the iconic Gusuku Mountain, a popular hiking destination that offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the island and the East China Sea.
