Ishigaki Island Must-Sees

Ishigaki Island, the primary hub of the Yaeyama archipelago, contains diverse landscapes ranging from the emerald waters of Kabira Bay to the limestone formations of the Ishigaki Stalactite Cave. This collection covers key natural sites like Yonehara Beach's coral reefs and the northern Hirakubozaki peninsula. Cultural highlights include the relocated heritage houses at Yaima Village, the Toujinbaka memorial, and the central public market. Regional crafts and agriculture are represented by Yoneko-yaki pottery and local fruit orchards.
