Itinerary

Stop 1

A traditional cultural village showcasing the history and everyday life of the Yaeyama Islands. Preserved wooden houses and stone walls offer a clear look at local architecture, customs, and island life before modern development.

Stop 2

One of Ishigaki’s most striking coastal viewpoints, where sea, sky, mountains, and a white lighthouse come together in a dramatic landscape. This easily accessible cape offers wide ocean views and a clear look at the island’s rugged coastline, making it a popular stop for photography and enjoying the fresh sea air.

Stop 3

Awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, Kabira Bay is one of Ishigaki’s most iconic sights. Calm turquoise waters and small emerald-green islets create a constantly changing coastal view influenced by tides and sunlight. An optional glass-bottom boat ride allows you to observe coral reefs and tropical fish without entering the water.

Stop 4

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.

Stop 5

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.

Stop 6

A large hilltop park offering an easy way to experience Ishigaki’s subtropical environment. Gentle paths lead through lush greenery, with occasional viewpoints overlooking the island and surrounding sea. No special equipment is required, making it suitable for guests who prefer light walking and scenic nature stops.
