Hi there!
This is MIKA from Ishigaki 😉
Anyway, I have a question for you---why you want to go to Ishigaki?
I think because of the beautiful and tropical sea.
When you come here, you should visit “Kabira Bay” to enjoy watching and taking the picture of the great view!

It’s better to offer the diner to your accommodation, and buy something you need in day time.
Walk under the starry sky
Finally, we recommend you to walk there after it gets dark because you can see night sky fulled stars!
You can find 84 of 88 constellations in Yaeyama Islands. Ishigaki is decided the best location to watch the stars and milkey way,also it’s the only place to see Southern Cross in Japan!
