Food · Things to do · Where to stay

Ishigaki is the main island of the Yaeyama group, a flight from Naha or the Japanese mainland. Kabira Bay and the glass-bottom boats are on the north-west coast; the ferries for Taketomi, Kohama and Iriomote leave from the Ritou Terminal in town.

The pages below cover what to do on the island and which base to stay in.
