The Japanese island of Iki is situated off the coast of Kyushu between Fukuoka and South Korea and is easily accessible by ferry from Fukuoka and Karatsu (Saga Prefecture). The island is stunning - almost entirely green, with hot springs, expansive rice paddies and fabulous white-sand beaches to rival anywhere in the world. The slow pace of life and friendly people combine with amazing geology and natural beauty to make Iki a superb place to live or visit.
