Ishagaki, which is an island that forms part of the Yaeyama Islands is a truly marvelous place to stay, whether you come for a few days, a few weeks, or overnight. The island’s capital is Ishagaki City and this offers a fantastic base to explore the island. One place that you should definitely see is Kabira Bay, with its absolutely superb view. You aren’t allowed to swim in the bay, but you can go for a ride in a glass bottomed boat. You should also try and squeeze in a visit to one of the sites where black pearls are cultivated: this is a fascinating day out.
Kitesurfing is really big here, but there are other sports that you can try as well and the whole island offers a real insight into rural Japan. Hotel rooms are plentiful, but as always, don’t leave it too late before you book, particularly if you want to save some money and get a really good hotel for a cheap rate.
