Ishigaki

It was a slightly older resort, but luxurious and convenient. The breakfast was also delicious. I liked that the resort had a bathhouse, and the private beach was very impressive.

Located a bit outside the city center, but conveniently accessible by foot from the main bus terminal. The rooms are spacious and include a bathtub for soaking. Towels and toiletries are readily available on the first floor for self-service. Large, portable beach towels are available to borrow for water activities. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, although the daily menu changes are somewhat limited. The hotel is quite popular, and parking spaces are usually full, so it can be challenging to find a spot if you return late.

The hotel breakfast is unbelievably delicious, a must-try! The location is very convenient and easy to get to. You can walk to the Public Market and the Yaeyama Museum bus stop. The rooms are comfortable and provide a good night's sleep. It's also very close to the port for snorkeling trips to Kohama Island or to visit Phantom Island. Taking a glass-bottom boat tour in Kabira Bay to see the underwater scenery is also beautiful; we saw giant clams, clownfish, and two sea turtles.

The guide and driver are very kind. They don't speak Korean, but they do speak English, and if you install a translation app like ChatGPT, you can communicate with them sufficiently. The itinerary and explanations were great, and the meals were good too. 100% satisfaction. We traveled with a 3-year-old child. It was the first half-day trip, so the child was a little tired, but when we asked at the hotel, they said they enjoyed it. The child fell asleep during the latter part of the itinerary, and the guide watched over the sleeping child, so my wife and I were able to enjoy the final course. A glass-bottom boat is not included, but you can still ride one. Whenever they introduce local specialties, they slow down the car to explain in detail. When the itinerary was over, we told them we were going to Don Quijote after being dropped off at the ANA hotel, and they even told us the bus route in front of the hotel, so we were able to get there comfortably. I would definitely use them again in the future. I recommend this for family trips without renting a car or doing any strenuous activities.

we enjoyed our Ishigaki tour, our driver MR.Shimizu was very attentive, helped us push our dad’s wheelchair and made great recommendations too. We appreciate his kind gestures.

We stayed for two nights and three days, and unfortunately, the weather was bad and many of the tours we had planned were canceled. However, we were relieved that you let us know whether or not this tour would be held at an early stage. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see a beautiful sunrise, we had a very pleasant time doing SUP surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds. It was my first time doing SUP, but I was taught carefully and was happy to be able to go further than I had imagined. The tour guide was also very kind and told me about recommended tourist spots, which made it a wonderful trip even after the tour. This time, I was traveling alone and didn't have many photos of myself, but I was happy that the guide sent me some pictures. I would like to come back and try again next time when the weather is more stable.

It was a nice walk, unfortunately we didn't get to see many animals, we only saw spiders!

I had an incredible snorkeling tour with Makoto from Ishigaki Adventure PiPi. Despite worrying about the weather, Makoto smoothly relocated us to beautiful Osaki Beach. As a nervous first-timer and non-swimmer, I felt completely safe under Makoto's expert and reassuring guidance. She led our small group with constant attention and care. The underwater world was breathtaking—vivid blue waters filled with colorful fish and sea turtles. Makoto also captured amazing photos and videos for us with her action camera, which was a fantastic personal touch. This tour was the absolute highlight of my cruise stop and has made me want to return to Ishigaki. Thank you, Makoto, for your outstanding professionalism and for creating such a wonderful, memorable experience. Highest recommendation!

We went snorkeling with Makoto. The water was crystal clear, and we saw lots of colorful fish and coral. Makoto took photos and videos throughout. It was so much fun, we wish we could have stayed longer!
