Itinerary

Stop 1

A dramatic underground cave formed over many millennia beneath Ishigaki Island. Visitors follow illuminated paths past stalactites and stalagmites, experiencing a cool, mysterious environment far from the tropical heat.

Stop 2

Located within Banna Park, this viewpoint offers sweeping panoramas of Ishigaki’s turquoise sea, neighbouring islands and lush hillside from a comfortable vantage point. Free parking available.

Stop 3

The westernmost cape of Ishigaki Island, offering rugged cliff views, a white lighthouse perched above the sea and one of the island’s most spectacular sunset spots. Walking access is free.

Stop 4

A world-renowned bay with vivid emerald-green waters and white sand, often regarded as one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Japan. While swimming is restricted due to pearl cultivation, glass-bottom boat rides are available (approx. ¥1,000)

Stop 5

A subtropical palm forest near Maibara on Ishigaki’s northern coast, home to the endemic Yaeyama palm trees. A short walking trail through lush jungle brings you beneath towering palms. Admission is free.
