[2018 Latest Edition] BEST 10 recommended gourmet and leisure spots for sightseeing in Okinawa and Ishigaki Island

2018/10/09

The remote island area of Okinawa continues to grow in popularity as a domestic travel destination. In particular, the number of tourists to Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island, which have many direct flights from Tokyo Haneda and other destinations, continues to increase, approaching the demand for Okinawa's main island. Therefore, this time, we will introduce the ``2018 latest edition of the BEST 10 recommended gourmet and leisure spots for sightseeing on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa'', which boasts the second largest area after Iriomote Island among Okinawa's remote islands, from the classics to the hidden spots, based on the opinion of a writer who has actually visited. I would like to introduce this as recommended information with some bias. The charm of traveling to Ishigaki Island cannot be surpassed by its beautiful nature, such as the emerald green coral sea, mountains covered with mangroves, and river jungles. Conversely, there is no other tourist attraction such as indoor leisure facilities. Therefore, we recommend a travel plan that allows you to enjoy outdoor leisure to your heart's content on Ishigaki Island. In fact, many of the spots ranked in the top 10 are marine activity spots such as beaches, beaches, and diving spots.

I went on a trip to Ishigaki Island in 2018! We also landed on Taketomi Island, which is about 15 minutes away by ferry! !

2018/09/26

We were told that we could use bicycles as a means of transportation around the island, so we rented a bicycle and started exploring the island! It seemed to be relatively empty on the day I went, and I was able to rent it after waiting for a few minutes, but if you're planning to go, it might be safer to make a reservation in advance. Although the plan is a little more advanced than the one our family used, it might be a good idea to book a course like this and enjoy a tour of the remote islands that combines Iriomote Island and Yubu Island. This time I only went to Taketomi Island, which is the closest to Ishigaki Island, so there were so many spectacular views that I want to visit even more next time!

I've been posting about activities to do during my family's trip to Ishigaki Island in September, but this time I'll be posting about Activity Japan's ``2018 Edition'' Okinawa/Ishigaki Island Diving Experience Plan Reservation Popularity Ranking & List of Recommended Shops. I'd like to introduce you to some plans that our family is interested in: manta rays, spectacular coral reefs, phantom islands, etc. No, the size of the manta ray is impressive. Sweat

Activity plan for September trip to Ishigaki Island has been decided! We will enter a snorkeling experience tour where you can enjoy Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, which is suitable for families and can participate from the age of 3!

2018/08/12

The appeal of this plan is that you can enjoy snorkeling at both Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, two of Ishigaki Island's most famous scenic spots. Plus canyoning? It also includes a course where you can play in a waterfall basin, so you can fully enjoy the ocean, rivers, and nature of Ishigaki Island. With this content, the experience fee is 6,000 yen (tax included) per adult and child, which includes not only a guide fee but also necessary goods such as a wet suit, fins, mask, snorkel, and amenities such as shampoo and conditioner. If the room is fully equipped, there is nothing to say. For those who don't rent a car, the fact that they will pick you up and drop you off if you are within a 10 minute drive from city hall is a great feature. (I can't imagine being within 10 minutes of Ishigaki Island, though)

Hello everyone viewing Activity Japan! It's already the end of July in 2018, and our family's first trip to Ishigaki Island, scheduled for September, is approaching ♪ Hotels, planes, rental cars, etc... We've done all the preparations in advance with a travel agency's package tour. So, I've been researching the fun, marine leisure, and activities to do while staying in Ishigaki Island, and since this research blog recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, I would like to take a look back at the plans that caught my attention. In fact, there are some plans that I have already made reservations for, but there are also plans that I am still thinking about until the last minute. Time and budget are limited, so I'll archive previous articles, so please check them out if you see a title you're interested in.

Decided in September! Start researching the activities you want to experience on your trip to Ishigaki Island! Part 10 is the “Starry Sky Photo Tour” where you can enjoy the starry sky of Ishigaki Island! !

2018/07/21

Stargazing and photo shooting tour at Yaeyama Islands, known as the area where you can observe the most constellations in Japan! This is a tour where our staff photographer will take pictures of you with the stars scattered in the night sky like diamonds! Well, this plan may be more suitable for couples, but my family and I have been talking about whether it would be a good idea to take photos of the spectacular views of nature as memories of our family trip to Ishigaki Island, and my wife in particular has chosen one of her favorites. It's a plan. Well, it's still beautiful

Decided in September! Start researching the activities you want to experience on your trip to Ishigaki Island! Part 6: When you go to Ishigaki Island, you want to ride a water buffalo cart at Yubu Island! !

2018/07/09

One of the great things about traveling to Ishigaki Island is that you can access nearby remote islands such as Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Kohama Island by high-speed boat. I feel like I got something out of it lol Moreover, the high-speed boats that come and go are said to run several times a day at the same pace as local buses, so you can just hop across whenever you feel like it. I'm sure there will be views of the island that are not found in the center of Ishigaki Island, and I hope that you will be able to experience the richness of Okinawan culture. I want to drink awamori while listening to the sound of the sanshin (I just want to drink sake)

Decided in September! Start researching the activities you want to experience on your trip to Ishigaki Island! Part 5 is to try your hand at making Shisa, a classic Okinawa souvenir!

2018/07/07

Originally, I was looking for a marine sports activity to enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island, but in this blog, I will post about a recommended plan for a "Shisa making experience" that I wanted to try once when I went to Okinawa. As a souvenir, I tend to buy a Shisa made by a professional craftsman, and I think that's fine, but if you want to make memories from the making process, you want to participate in an experience plan where you can make your own Shisa and a Shisa making class. I looked at various plans, but the plan held by "Kabira Yaki Rinka" in Ishigaki Island that I will introduce this time seems to be reasonably priced and allows you to enjoy an authentic Shisa making experience, so I picked it as a candidate.

Activity Japan's most recommended marine activity for summer 2018 is "Fishing Experience/Fishing Boat"!!

2018/07/05

Sabani is a wooden fishing boat that has been passed down in Ryukyu since ancient times. In modern times, it seems that boats with engines are the norm, but with the experience plan I found this time, it seems that you can experience a Sabani boat rowed by wind and human power, which has been a tradition since ancient times. It's a true Okinawan cultural experience, an Uminchu experience! What's more, this plan allows children from the age of 0 to participate, so I'm thinking of making a reservation to enjoy it with my 3-year-old son. Detailed information is below.

Decided in September! Start researching the activities you want to experience on your trip to Ishigaki Island! The third is "SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board)".

2018/07/04

You can also book a set plan where you can enjoy both SUP (stand up paddle board) and BBQ (barbecue), so if you want to enjoy dinner as well, we recommend that as well. This is perfect for families like mine, and it's also great for couples' dates and girls' trips. During the day, you can play to your heart's content in the sea of Ishigaki Island, and in the evening you can have a barbecue dinner in a stylish glamping-like location.There are probably fewer shops compared to Naha and the main island area, so with this kind of plan, you can spend the whole day outdoors on Ishigaki Island. It looks like it will be a wonderful trip to enjoy it to the fullest.

Decided in September! Start researching the activities you want to experience on your trip to Ishigaki Island! Part 2 is sea turtle experience diving.

2018/07/02

The best part of diving in Ishigaki Island is being able to swim with sea turtles. Travel information magazines and websites are actively promoting this aspect, and I feel that it is a must-have when traveling to Ishigaki Island.LOL Furthermore, no matter what information I look at, it is only visible at low tide. It is a wonderful plan that seems to be highly satisfying and covers all the Ishigaki Island marine spots, as it seems that you can land on a point called "Phantom Island" that does not appear. It is said to be a phantom island, surrounded by emerald green sea as far as the eye can see, giving a heaven-like view. If you say that much, there's no way you won't go! !

2018/02/27

It says that mermaid suits are popular overseas, but are they really that popular?I did a little searching and found a lot of photos of cute girls posing on the beach, which is pretty cool.The purpose is still to take photos. What do you mean? Just wearing that suit makes you look great on Instagram. Just like I want to be Jack Sparrow, there are women who want to be mermaids. It's not hard to understand. It's the cosplay desire hidden in everyone's heart. Flower crowns, etc. It seems that there are also accessories such as starfish. I would like her breasts to be covered with shells.

Choose from popular activities on Ishigaki Island! These are the events you want to experience in 2018! There are a lot of fun-looking leisure experience plans. Snorkeling is basic to me, but to be honest, it's a mystery to me who will be wearing this mermaid suit. I wonder if it's a cosplay-like feeling. Even if you're aiming for an Instagram photo, this is quite a lot of work. It feels like you can't use your lower body freely, so unless you're an experienced swimmer, you might drown.If you imagine yourself playing a mermaid surrounded by beautiful coral reefs, tropical fish, and sea turtles, it's pretty funny.I feel like I'm going to drown laughing. However, the sound of [Phantom Island] is the best...
