    Preserved wooden houses and stone walls offer a clear look at local architecture, customs, and island life before modern development.
  2. Cape Oganzaki

  3. Kabira Bay

    Awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, Kabira Bay is one of Ishigaki’s most iconic sights.

    An optional glass-bottom boat ride allows you to observe coral reefs and tropical fish without entering the water.
  4. Yonekoyaki Craft Center

    A colorful outdoor spot featuring oversized shisa statues, traditional guardian figures from Okinawan culture.

    Each statue has its own distinctive design, making this a fun and visually engaging stop for photos and a light introduction to local symbolism.
  5. Yonehara Beach
    15m
    A scenic coastline known for its clear shallows and coral sand.

    Guests can enjoy a gentle beach walk, observe small marine life near the shore, or simply take in the view where turquoise sea, white sand, and green hills meet.

    This stop focuses on coastal scenery and walking.
  6. Banna Park
    40m
    A large hilltop park offering an easy way to experience Ishigaki’s subtropical environment.
