Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Hotel, a resort located within Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, has launched a 2-night, 3-day program called "Shima-iro Yukuru Trip - Iriomote Hotel Edition" designed to release stress. The program runs until Sunday, October 31, 2021.

To help people cope with drastically changed lifestyles and invisible anxieties, Hoshino Resorts Iriomote Hotel has introduced a 2-night, 3-day program to release accumulated stress at a jungle resort on an Okinawan remote island.

The "Shima-iro Yukuru Trip," meaning "to relax" in Okinawan dialect, involves spending time in perfect rest and moderate tension, believed to be effective for stress release. The program aims to improve gut and sleep environments, which are thought to be linked to stress, through carefully selected meals and amenities.

Guests can unwind their minds and bodies with "SUP Forest Bathing," where they paddle on SUP boards into the tributaries of mangrove clusters near the hotel and relax amidst the dappled sunlight. Additionally, the "Awakening Mangrove Stretch" allows guests to step barefoot into the mangrove river, which is said to release five times more oxygen than regular plants, and perform stretches.

On the other hand, the jungle trekking to "Geta Falls" within the dynamic natural landscape of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park offers an active experience. Enjoying waterfall play and the unique flora of the region provides a sense of moderate tension through these aggressive activities.

The "Onigirazu Bento" is specially prepared for this trekking excursion. Enjoy an "onigirazu" filled with fermented ingredients like miso, fiber-rich black purple rice, and Okinawan ingredients centered around green papaya, to support a healthy gut environment.

To ensure restful sleep during the stay, guests receive a guide for in-room stretching exercises and mugwort tea before bedtime. These are designed to promote relaxation and lead to a comfortable sleep. Furthermore, a skincare set made primarily from mugwort, without additives, is provided in the rooms as an amenity to minimize skin stress.

The sound of waves can be heard even from the room. Immerse yourself in an extraordinary experience of rest and tension on a remote island, and find true relaxation for both mind and body.
