What comes to mind when you think of Ogimi Village? There’s not much there, but it’s interesting. A place to find peace of mind. You can have a nice and relaxing time there. Meet the most wonderful people in Ogimi! So, do you feel like going to Ogimi yet? Ogimi Marugoto Tourism Association In April 2008, the promotion of Ogimi Village's tourism was proposed as part of the new village policies. The Ogimi Marugoto Tourism Regional Committee, the forerunner of the Ogimi Marugoto Tourism Association, was established by the collaborative efforts between the administration and the district in August 2008. The committee functioned as a contact office for tourists as well as a base for planning and constructing tourism programs. In July 2010, the Ogimi Marugoto Tourism Association was established, and the administration and the district worked as one to further expand tourism businesses such as homestay programs. We will continue to plan and promote interesting tourism programs, like our “Ogimi Beep! Experience and Homestay Programs,” that are designed to promote environmentally-friendly tourism, traditional and cultural entertainment activities, as well as Ogimi’s strengths, such as healthy, long-lived villagers, and abundant nature. Some of the features of the program are eco tourism, green tourism, blue tourism, and health tourism. We hope you will find our Igimi (Ogimi) Homestay Experience Programs, which aim to nurture Okinawa’s Yuimaru (spirit of consideration for and cooperation with others), beneficial when you plan your educational trips, experience-based learning, or other comprehensive learning classes. 2 3 Experience Programs Itabishi (Beach Rock Floors) Takasato River at the Kijoka Itajiiki Beach Ogimi Rural Environmental Improvement Center Ogimi Village Commerce and Industry Association It’s so hard to decide The Complete Ogimi Experience Map Sazama Stone Social Welfare Council Gallery TATI ●Bashofu Weaving Factory Narome Catsle Ruin where to go.

  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.
