As tourism in Okinawa Prefecture in Japan grows, many of its remote islands have been expending great efforts into tourism development. This study aimed to determine the status quo oflriomote Island through the examination of residents' perceptions toward tourism impacts and ecocentric attitudes, one of the factors predicting residents' perceptions toward tourism. The results were obtained through a survey conducted in Iriomote Island, Okinawa Prefecture, in 2011. The examination of the factors allowed several development directions for remote islands of Okinawa to be suggested Introduction Islands exhibit different economic, social, and environment characteristics than continents. Given the expansion of tourism in Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, many of the prefecture's remote islands have been placing considerable emphasis on tourism development.
