About the Honesty Store

The Honesty Store is one of Batanes’ most iconic and unique attractions. Located in the quiet town of Ivana, it is an unmanned shop where visitors pick out items and leave payment on their own — completely based on trust. It perfectly reflects the core Ivatan values of honesty, discipline, and community respect. The photo above was taken at San Jose Obrero, a few steps from the honesty store.
