Iriomote Wildlife Conservation Center

西表野生生物保護センター

The Iriomote Wildlife Conservation Center is a public facility built as a hub for protecting the endangered Iriomote cat. Official pages explain that the center helps visitors learn about the cat and the wider wildlife of Iriomote Island so they leave with a stronger sense of conservation. Exhibits and updates include seasonal driving-caution maps based on sighting reports, because road collisions remain a serious risk. Typhoon closures happen, so confirm open days before pairing a stop with other Iriomote nature visits.
