Ishigaki

I visited Ishigaki island in May 2024. It was rain all day but got sunny after all next day. It is beautiful island, just super humid and strong sunshine but if you like that kind of weather, it is perfect place to be.

Ishigaki Island is about 420 kilometers southwest of Shuri, the main island of the Ryukyu Islands, and is the main island of the Yaeyama Islands. The name Yaeyama comes from the image of 19 islands of varying sizes, which are arranged like overlapping mountain ranges. Ishigaki Island has a circumference of about 90 kilometers and is characterized by many mountains, including the highest mountain in the Ryukyu Islands, Mount Umoto, which is 526 meters above sea level.

The food and alcohol were delicious on this island. The people are kind and it has just the right amount of urban elements, so I think it's a great place to live (^^)

Ishigawa is a small island worth visiting. It is located in the southernmost tip of Japan. It is only more than 100 kilometers away from Taiwan. How close is it? I rented a car on the island and received Taiwan's radio on the radio. Isn't it amazing? This time we lived in Xiaobang Island and Xibiao Island for two days, and in Shihimoto Island for four days. We basically drove around all corners and strongly recommended it.

I stayed three nights and it was worth visiting. I visited Bazhongshan Folklore Garden, Chuanping Bay, Miyazaki Lighthouse, Ping Jiubao, Yucaizaki Outlook Station, Commune Market and other scenic spots around the island, leaving a very good memory.

Ishigaki Island Travel | A Complete Guide to Shopping and Transportation ️It is adjacent to the East China Sea in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. It is the third largest island in Okinawa Prefecture after Okinawa Island and Iriomote Island. It is said that in order to avoid typhoons, the houses on the island are surrounded by stone walls, hence the name "Ishigaki". Island Environment This island is not a popular island in Japan. The day and night here are very quiet. There are few people and few cars. It will give you the illusion of being in Kamakura. In the nearly nine months of summer, time seems to be stretched very long. If you can stay here for a day, rent a motorcycle and slowly circle the island, you can also see the lighthouse at the southernmost part of the island. The consumption on the island is not very high. Island Consumption Although it is an island, it is also full of small shops of various styles. This is the style of an island country~ So here, in addition to vacationing in the sun and enjoying the sea breeze, the rest of the time is to eat and eat. The island is not small or big, and it is almost enough to arrange a day or two with a vacation mentality. Drugstores on the island These cheap good things found in Japanese drugstores make people feel happy. The rest of the time is to rush into various drugstores and buy things like crazy. Japanese drugstores are like a magical supermarket, where you can always find very astonishing things. ⭕For example, potions that can solve back pain with just one application, slimming pills that can slim legs, liquid band-aids, beauty pills that can regulate menopause... These things sound unreliable, but after personal testing, they are really useful. There is no way to buy all the magical good things in drugstores. No matter how busy you are, you must take a few hours to visit drugstores, buy them for your family, and then buy them for yourself and friends! You will find that these little things can easily make people feel happy. It turns out that life is not only about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but also magical good things from all over the world~ (ps, remember to bring your passport to refund taxes) ☔Must-bring items Sunglasses, hats, and physical sunscreen are always effective and indispensable.

Take a taxi to Banna Park in the center of Shiyuan Island, from the South Gate to the Outlook Desk, we can overlook Shiyuan City and the ocean. We have no car, walk walk comfortably and leisurely for 1.5 hours to the North exit, only to find that there is no bus back to the city, we walk for an hour on the road to find a taxi back to the city,... Eat two meals of Shiyuan cattle every day, and walk a lot. Good digestion.
