Ishigaki Island – Okinawa

Rating 5.0

Ishigaki Island is a remote island in Okinawa prefecture where you can go from Haneda Airport and Kansai International Airport by direct flight. The temperate climate peculiar to tropical country and the sea with high transparency are attractive. In Ishigaki Island Hirakubozaki, you can enjoy a spectacular view over the sea of coral reefs.

Sukuchi Beach is a vast beach located about 10 minutes by car from the famous scenic spot "Kawahira Bay". Kawahira Bay is famous and many tourists visit, but personally I like quiet atmosphere of the Sukuchi beach very much.
The diving point in Ishigaki island is very varied and we can meet big fish such as Scaleless tuna and Barracuda at point of coral reef and sandy land. Among them, "Manta Scramble" which can be encountered with high probability to Manta birostris (Manta) is extremely popular.
