What is
Ishigaki Islands
here
Ishigaki Island, the main island of the Yaeyama Islands, floats in the East China Sea and serves as the gateway to exploring nearby remote islands.
It is the third-largest island in Okinawa Prefecture, after Okinawa’s main island and Iriomote, and is blessed with a warm subtropical oceanic climate and crystal-clear waters.
Known for its exceptionally high chance of encounters with manta rays, Ishigaki attracts divers from all over the world.
Ishigaki City is the resort hub of the Yaeyama Islands—including Taketomi and Yonaguni—playing a central role in the region’s economy and tourism. As Japan’s southernmost and westernmost city, it offers the best of both worlds: a lively downtown filled with hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops, and untouched natural landscapes just a short drive away.

You’re not looking for just another sightseeing trip — you want to touch the soul of a place.
You long to hand the reins over to someone you trust, and travel without the noise of endless information.
You love vibrant moments, yet yearn for quiet in nature — time to breathe, to come back to yourself.
You don’t want a trip that pushes you to your limits — you want one that feels just right for who you are today.
You care less about the perfect photo, and more about feeling your true self overflow from within.
This journey is calling you if…
