Ie village covers all of Ie-jima, where about 3,800 people live in five districts, and a 30-minute ferry from Motobu reaches it.
The village office stands in Higashiemae, and the bike rental sits in Kawahira. The Easter lily is the village flower, and it brings the crowds for the lily festival in late April and early May.
Ie village has run its own ferry since 1920. Plan a day around the sailings, rent a bike and loop the island past Gusuku-yama and the north-coast lily fields, with lunch at a shokudo on the way.
