◉ Recommended spots

・Euglena Mall A shopping street like Kokusai-dori in Naha, where you can find everything from souvenirs to souvenirs♪

Tamatorizaki Observatory There is a parking lot and a cafe that uses ingredients from Ishigaki, and it is a spot where you can see the emerald blue unique to Ishigaki♪

◉ Private beach 3 minute walk♪

Going beyond Sakihara Park, there is a beach that only locals know about! Perfect for a walk. (Swimming is dangerous)

◉ Ohama Beach 13 minute walk

The closest beach where you can swim.

The shallow sea is not up to your waist even if you go 200m to 300m.

There are few people (almost no people!) so it is perfect for spending a relaxing private time.
You can't expect to see coral reefs or fish, but it's a great place to relax.

◉ Shiraho Beach
When you think of Shiraho, you think of coral. If you take a boat and dive into the sea, you'll find yourself in a different world. You'll probably become a repeat visitor to the famous blue coral colonies, giant poranthocoral, and staghorn coral. What's more, you can enjoy it by snorkeling, so even beginners can enjoy it easily.
Enjoy the world's best coral to your heart's content!

[How to enjoy Ishigaki Island?]

1. Snorkeling and diving: If you want to enjoy Ishigaki Island's beautiful coral reefs and marine life, snorkeling and diving are the best ways to do so. Kabira Bay is a particularly famous spot.

2. Day trip to Taketomi Island: Taketomi Island is about a 10-minute ferry ride from Ishigaki Island, and you can enjoy traditional Okinawan houses and white sandy beaches. It's also fun to rent a bicycle and go around the island.

3. Stargazing: Ishigaki Island is known for its beautiful starry sky. Why not join a stargazing tour at night and enjoy the starry sky?

4. Drive around the island: Ishigaki Island is just the right size to drive around in. We recommend renting a car and visiting spots such as Tamatorizaki Observatory, Hirakubozaki Lighthouse, and Kabira Bay.

5. Enjoy local food: Be sure to try local specialties such as Ishigaki beef and Yaeyama soba. Also, visit Ishigaki Island's market and taste fresh seafood and fruits.

6. Relaxation: It's also important to spend time relaxing near the sea. You can relax by reading a book on the beach or at the spa at a resort hotel.

Check the weather and sea conditions and combine the above activities to have a great time.

[What are the recommended restaurants in Ishigaki Island? ]

1. Za Sakanaza
9 minutes walk from the inn. A local izakaya near Don Quijote.

If you're staying for a long time, you'll definitely be hanging out here!

2. Tempura restaurant inside Don Quijote
This is surprisingly satisfying!
They also serve island cuisine, so it's perfect for drinking at night.
It's a 9-minute walk from the inn, so you can walk home after drinking, which is convenient for long-term stays!

3. Hitoshi Main Branch in Misakicho: A popular restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood such as sushi and sashimi. The tuna and island fish sashimi are especially delicious.
If the main branch is full, go to Hitoshi Ishiganto Branch.
You can't make a reservation unless you go directly to the store, so go to the store on the first day and make a reservation first!

4. Kitauchi Farm Maezato Branch
The closest yakiniku restaurant to the inn. If you want to enjoy Ishigaki beef, this is the place to go.
This is a restaurant where you can taste carefully prepared yakiniku.

5. Doug's Burger: The tuna burger at Euglena Mall is super famous! I love it too and eat it every time! They also have Orion beer, so I recommend eating it with beer!

6. Ishigaki Beef Specialty Shop Yakiniku Yaima: This is a restaurant where you can enjoy yakiniku (grilled meat) at your leisure, featuring Ishigaki beef.

What's more, the all-you-can-eat and drink course is a great deal!

You can eat and drink without worrying about the price, so it's a great place to be.

These restaurants are very popular, so it's a good idea to make a reservation. Enjoy the delicious island food to your heart's content.


[Ultra-smart tips for using private lodgings recommended by the owner Toru]
How to stay cheaply in a private lodging and have a luxurious time on Ishigaki Island!
You can use the restaurant at the nearby ANA Intercontinental Hotel as an outsider.
For example, the lunch buffet is a buffet style and starts at 2,500 yen per person.
You can enter the wonderful space of the Intercontinental and enjoy a delicious lunch for only 2,500 yen!
If you stay overnight, it will cost you tens of thousands of yen per person!
Breakfast is also served in the lounge, and the terrace seats are nice seats overlooking the pool.
Of course, breakfast will cost you 2,000 yen, but you can take photos and enjoy the atmosphere of the Intercontinental, so it's cheap!

If you're going for a drive, we also recommend "Fusaki Beach Resort".
This is a famous luxury resort on Ishigaki Island.
However, if you just go to the beach, it's free!
You can go to the beach through Fusaki Beach Resort, so you can feel luxurious.

You can also use the pool as an outsider.
The price is a bit high at over 8,000 yen, but if you stay overnight, it will cost tens of thousands of yen!
There is a STAR BAR by the pool where you can enjoy cocktails while watching the sunset.

Save money by staying in a private accommodation, while enjoying the luxury of a high-end resort.

A luxurious way to enjoy Ishigaki!

I know Ishigaki inside and out, so I'll be happy to give you all kinds of advice, so please feel free to contact me after you've made a reservation.
