Tucked closer to Taiwan than Tokyo, Ishigaki is Okinawa’s island gem—think turquoise waters, tropical vibes, and a rich cultural blend. If you’re here for the beaches (and you should be), you’ll find beachfront resorts with infinity pools and spa perks in Kabira Bay, perfect for a luxe escape. Travelling on a budget or with kids? Head to central Ishigaki for boutique stays and family-friendly hotels near shops and restaurants. Whatever your style, Ishigaki delivers sun-soaked stays with serious charm.
Ishigaki Island is a natural paradise, much of it protected within the Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, where mangroves, coral reefs, and dense forests shelter rare wildlife like the elusive Iriomote cat. Adventure seekers can hike Mount Omoto, kayak through jungle waterways, or snorkel vibrant reefs, while more relaxed moments await on the white sands of Kondoi Beach or gazing out over Kabira Bay’s turquoise waters. Whether you're bird-watching in the lush jungle, exploring craggy caves, or soaking in panoramic views from the Tamatorizaki Observatory, the island blends nature with culture—stop by the Minsah Kogei Museum to learn about traditional crafts before retreating to a resort for a spa session, a dip in the ocean, and a taste of fresh island cuisine.
