Beautiful place..you can see the mini island located a few feet away. When there are no tourist it’s a amazing serene location. They have a glass boat company, shrine, and food stalls.

Stunning vistas, like a painting, very clear water. Unfortunately, the beach is trashed in several places, it's a shame, the tour boat operators should take responsibility to keep the beach trash free, instead of just profiting from it. It would also help to have trash cans and recycling cans there and educate people with signage

Beautiful sea, cute hermit crabs, great food options nearby, glass boat tours of coral reefs. What’s not to love? A must see on Ishigaki.

Beautiful meal which was very well presented. Just like the photos you see. Absolutely no complaints about the actual meal. The menu they give you doesn’t give you a good idea about what they offer. Strange! I ordered from photos of previous reviews and had a fantastic dinner. The service is nearly absent though. I had to get the menu myself. 3 staff too busy when I walked in. The restaurant was empty! Staff is very kind and smiling but not at all attentive. I sat outside on the balcony and had to go inside to ask for drinks and desert. Definitely worth a visit though.

(Translated by Google) Is lunch not well known? I went there twice and it was pretty empty so I was able to have a relaxing meal. And lunch is very delicious! You can choose from a variety of dishes using local ingredients. There were a lot of desserts on one plate and it was delicious. (Original) ランチはあまり知られてないのか？2回行きましたがかなり空いてて、のんびりと食事できました♪ そしてランチとても美味しいです！ 島のものを使った料理でいろいろ選べます。 デザートがワンプレートでたくさん盛られてて美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The creative appetizers, desserts, and presentation using Ishigaki ingredients are also cute. The food was delicious, the staff was pleasant, and it was a satisfying restaurant. (Original) 石垣の食材を使った創作前菜やデザート、盛り付けがまたかわいい。味も美味しいし店員さんも感じいい、満足できるお店でした。

(Translated by Google) At dusk. Enjoy dinner outdoors on the terrace while looking at the port and Taketomi Island. Reasonable courses have high cost performance. Please be sure to make a reservation. (Original) 夕暮れ時。 港と竹富島を観ながら、テラス席、屋外でディナー。 リーズナブルなコースはコスパが高いですよ。 必ず予約して下さい。

(Translated by Google) The room is old but clean. It has an ocean view, but you can hear the sound of the ship's engine. The breakfast buffet is very delicious! (Original) 部屋は古いが清潔感あり。 オーシャンビューだが、船のエンジン音が響く。 朝食バイキングが、とても美味しいです！

(Translated by Google) Not good (Original) Pas bon

(Translated by Google) The advantage is that it is in a good location. close to 730 (Original) 立地がいいのがウリ 730に近い

Great location, on the beach yet close to airport and town, great rooms, amazing breakfast, congenital/helpful staff. I'll be back.

We drove from one side of the island to here, and it was totally worth it! The view of the ocean was so much different compared to that of the other side. There were also much less city lights (it was up in the mountains) so we were able to see the stars pretty clearly.

A scenic lookout point. On the way to the observation deck, you can also enjoy beautiful flowers.

Amazing views. Easy to find and great place for photos.

I went for the first time. I think it's an observatory that didn't exist many years ago. It was in very good condition and had a public toilet. From the observatory, you can see the beautiful sea of ​​Ishigaki Island.

360 amazing views! Beautiful views of the water and the volcano. There are mini paths to see different areas of the gardens on site. Thr bottom path has a variety of flowers. The welcome sign is in Japanese and English. Has plenty of parking on site. Bathrooms and vending machines. There is a cafe across the street. There is a van selling artistic flip flops and blue seal treats.

I went there twice on July 6, 2017. When I first drove up, the sky was cloudy. My photos were not that colourful. I then drove on to the deep north of Oshigaki. I could see and smell farm houses on my way. When the sun came out in my return trip, I went up again. Relatively speaking, quite a lot people drove up to the Observation Point. While many took selfies under the pavilion, the place could look prettier from a distance. One of my added photos features that.

Beautiful location, which is a really nice beach to walk if you should have the time to do so. Note, this is not actually the site of an "Observatory", as we were informed, but rather it is more of an elevated observation point, with no Telescope structure. We got lucky and could see for miles. There are bathrooms and also drink vending machines onsite.

Its a must go to spot in Ishigaki. The observation deck gives you a complete view of the island. It is so plesant and filled with varied plants. Its a soothing experience from Tamatorizaki.

Camped here in winter. Even next to bushes, it was too windy. Swimming was wonderful though, with many colorful fishes. & it's fairly shallow till a certain point, so I felt safe enough. I've heard if you go too far out there's rip tide, so be careful.

The best snorkeling beach in Okinawa! I’ve been to many islands, but this one is the far best! So many corals right off the beach! Water is so clear that you can see fish without swimming! It was so many corals and hard to swim through. It was really sad to see families and kids were standing on the corals I really hope people don’t destroy corals to preserve beautiful beach 😢 Go early as it gets busy. We went on Monday around 10:00 in July, but it was already busy. Only few spots for free parking. Rest is 500 yen. Shower is ¥300, so you might want to bring water to rinse yourself.

Beautiful beach, and lies just west of the blue cave. You can walk as far east as you can, then swim about 20 minutes (lightly) to get to the blue cave.

Amazing coral. Snorkelling is incredible here. Quite a few sea snakes, conefish and triggerfish. The latter are extremely aggressive if they have nests. Definitely worth getting some marine shoes and gloves.

The beach itself is not so special, by far not the most beautiful one. But it’s a must do if you like snorkeling. You can rent the equipment, the access is easy and the reef is gorgeous, you just need to get in 10m and the variety of fish is impressive. Great spot for snorkeling, for beaching not so special tho.

Great beach with beautiful coral reefs and lots of colourful fish ranging from small bright blue ones to rainbow coloured ones and lots in-between. Some small and others relatively large. Beautiful corals too. All very easy to swim out to. Would recommend you bring shoes or similar to swim with given that the mussels on the beach can be a bit sharp, and also to protect yourself out in the water. While I didn't see any dangerous jellyfish or other sea animals, I've read they can be present. So better be careful. You can rent snorkeling gear by the parking lot and buy drinks, but I didn't see much other food around. Restrooms and water tap to wash your feet and gear also available between the beach and the parking lot. High tides in the morning and low in the afternoon. In general, it was a fantastic beach. Not too over crowded. Would definitely come again. Best snorkeling on the island.

Lots of colorful tropical fish with coral reef. I went snorkeling a couple different places here but this was the best snorkel place in Ishigaki. You can find some clownfish at the east side of the beach. Highly recommended

A beautiful beach that’s not too crowded. Great views and easily accessible by bus

Great for snorkeling! Only a few steps into the water and you’ll find a great variety of fish. You can even see fish from the shore. Beach entrance has a toilet, and place to wash feet and gear. Not too far from the bus stop. Check out the amazing art statues at Yoneko Yaki while you’re nearby (free).

Just wow! Come in early and enjoy one of the best snorkeling experience of your life!

It was an interesting sightseeing spot. The golden butterfly chrysalis were gorgeous. There’s an English pamphlet. The cave is beautiful but they need to update their signs inside

This natural beautiful cave has an extension of 3,2 km, of which only 660m is open to the public. It will take you about 30 minutes to visit all. The ticket is less than 10 dollars and the taxi ride from the city centre it will take about 10 minutes. Inside, there is also a crystal clear spring, and if you are lucky, you can meet one of the many Yaeyama Horseshoe bats that are living in the cave. There are bathrooms available, as well as a café and a souvenir shop.

Nice caves but pricey for what you get.

A place where you can continue to marvel at the wonders of nature! Wel maintained place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city... Well worth spending a couple of hours here... One of the few major tourist spots in Ishigaki.

We went as a last stop before heading to the airport so for a 30 min visit, it was cool to see the formations underground. But it was a bit overdone with the lights (felt like we were in "It's a small world" at Disney). There were also a few things like ladders or other unrelated equipment kind of lying around at the sides that took away from the exhibit.

Lovely tourist attraction Spot not too far from the hotel I was staying at. You begin by entering through a garden where you see lovely vegetations, butterflies and birds. As you enter you see amazing formations of stones. Its not too long and the walk inside is pretty easy. Toward the end there is an ice-cream and gift shop to purchase souvenirs. I really loved taking pictures of the butterflies and flowers as I sat in nature outside the cave. Its a lovely quick tourist spot and a great stop to purchase souvenirs as they have great selections.

Very... domesticated cave, smooth and cemented walking path; a bit slippery in places. A lot of colored lighting, both embellishing the place and taking away some of its naturalness.

Very large cave with a safe walkway, loads of stalactites and stalagmites. Some caves have pretty colored lights. The whole visit lasts about 35 minutes. At the end you will find a nice souvenir shop, a restaurant and an ice cream shop in a garden. Taking a taxi up the hill is inexpensive.

I was the only person there, kind of eerie Not worth 1200¥ in my opinion Cave is illuminated, there’s a message playing in Japanese in a loop. Cave lost its natural touch with cemented path and lights everywhere Don’t bother

It's really cool to see. The price is roughly $12 - $14 (Maybe $10 American & $11 - $12 Canadian) There a sign and a small hut to the left of the parking. Pay there and proceed up the path. There is nice flowers along the way to the entrance. Please be mindful of your step. Steps maybe a little slippery. Once you're in it's laid out pretty well. Just follow the arrows and the areas are decently lit. Once you exit, you'll be by another building and that's where you can buy souvenirs, get some great Okinawan ice cream, and maybe enjoy a meal. There is a restaurant section (still was closed because of covid) and it looks pretty good. Had an enjoyable time here and very cool seeing the formations underground. 😱👍👍

Lovely little park with fascinating memorials to both war dead and those who died of malaria. You can see the opposing feelings by those who both opposed and supported US presence on the island.

Banna Park It is the natural beauty of Ishigaki Island and has a vast expanse of vistas, there are many spots where we can enjoy and observe nature on a large area that makes use of the mountains as it is It was difficult to walk thoroughly because it was so wide Banna Park is located on a mountain foothills in Ishigaki. Ishigaki is the second largest island of the Yeayama Islands in Okinawa. With up to 160 islands Banna Park is divided into 5 zones: 1. Natural Forest Views: Paths, bridges, and stairs allow us to walk through Banna Parks' breathtaking nature, only on paved paths. Because if we walk off the path, there is a right to encounter a poisonous wild animal. 2. Passeo Forest, a grassy area where one can observe large butterflies. There are many in this park. In fact, we don't have to walk far to that area but at the entrance. We found a butterfly as big as a palm. And many wild birds 3.The horizon leads us to walk around the summit with a number of landmarks including the Oval Bird Observatory. 4. The Stone Monument Forest: The area surrounding Banna Park, where many stone monuments are on display. 5. Children's Square: The area of ​​Banna Park includes the BMX track and adventure playground surrounded by the beautiful nature of Okinawa. Today we will head to Observation of Nature Forest, part of Banna Park to see the unique nature of Okinawa. Let's go! Here you can see a national park that does not have to pay entrance fees. Free access, free parking

Perfect place to see panoramic views of Ishigaki.

Очень большая территория, много смотровых площадок с панорамным видом. The Banna Park is located on the foot of the just 230 meters high Mt. Banna in Ishigaki. Ishigaki is the second largest Island of the Yeayama Islands in Okinawa. The Banna Park itself is divided into five different zones: 1. The Observation of Nature Forest: Several paths, bridges, and staircases let your walk through Banna Parks incredible nature. 2. The Forest Passeo: A mainly grassed area where you can observe the park's abundance of butterflies. 3. The Skyline: It will lead you around the top of the mountain with several observation points including an egg-shaped bird watching tower. 4. The Stone Monument Forest: The area surrounding Banna Park where multiple stone monuments are on display 5. The Children's Square: An area of Banna Park including BMX track and an adventure playground surrounded by beautiful Okinawan nature. Today we will head to the Observation of Nature Forest part of Banna Park to observe Okinawa's unique nature. Let's go!

This park offers multiple viewing points all very different but with great views. So glad we didn't miss coming to check it out.

Huge public park with multiple walking trails and observation points. There is a good children's play area, toilets and parking areas.

I visited there last 2 weeks ago. I have been going there early morning to watch the sunrise and been looking for peacocks, luckily I found one. It was amazing! The park is a wide so you can have different view on each sides either you choose to walk or drive a car.

Incredible view of the Kabira Bay Area. You will see the small rock island and emerald green/blue hue waters. If you go further down you can also see the boats for the glass bottom tours.

A very picturesque place to spend a day. Soft white sand, a couple of restaurants around, public bathrooms, and glass bottom boats to see coral in the area.

The place is so beautiful. The color of the water is breathtaking. There was restaurants, shops but everything was closed within 6pm because of the state emergency. Washroom and parking space available.

Very unique place. The view is the best from the observation deck. February is too windy for this place and the fishing observation boats were all closed…

Absolutely worth visiting on a clear day. A picturesque place with white sandy beaches and stunning blue waters. Take the boat tours to see the marine life in the reefs around the bay, it's worth it and not very expensive.

At least a half our drive from where we were staying, but worth it for the views. Parking will cost you 200 yen (less than $2 American/ Canadian dollars) and you walk towards the vendors area. They have some nice souvenirs shops, great ice cream places 🍦, and a few places to grab a quick bite. 😋 Once you walk past there you'll see what looks like an observation hut. Walk there and enjoy the views. Be expected to take lots of pictures, because the views are really nice. You can walk down to the white sandy beaches and enjoy some more views. I believe they're are a few little tours that you can enjoy as well. I know one was a see through bottom boat, so you can see all the sea life around the reefs. I don't know the costs because we just visited there without doing any tours. If you're passing by or just want to enjoy some great views, then maybe consider this place. It's worth it, in my opinion. 😊👍

Some peoples say "not swimming beach" but is not the truth. If you go straight, after the boat dock there are many small beaches where you can sunbathe and swim.

Absolutely beautiful and one of the most scenic spots in Ishigaki! It was easy to get up here by bus but make sure you bring water and wear appropriate clothing because the hot weather can get uncomfortable. The pictures look like scenes from a tropical paradise! I highly recommend visiting this park and observatory!

Cool place to go visit at ishgaki heep of fun I really like to glass boat tour got to see lots of beautiful fish and sea turtles

As expected, it was the number one popular spot on Ishigaki Island. The blue of the sea is really wonderful. If you go down to the sandy beach, you will be healed by the clear sea water. The parking lot was well maintained and the public toilets were very clean. This place is definitely a must-see for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island.

Incredible views, not to be missed when in Ishigaki! The glass-bottomed boat was also a fun experience. Recommend topping it all off with a cup/cone of Blue Seal ice cream!

The squirrel monkeys were very cute! The mangrove area was a little difficult to find, but once we were there, we could look at a lot of different creatures and plants. There were a lot of mosquitoes so be prepared with bug spray!!

Great day, even with heavy rain, the monkeys were really nice and cute. The other spaces to visit were also interesting.🐒🐒

Such a good experience- cute cute moment for us. We rode bikes to the village area from the main city center, and if you are decently active its not a bad journey seeing all the nature on the way. But when we got there we did not expect the like really manicured look of everything, the monkeys are definitely what people go for and I understand that a lot because they are adorable and not seemingly dangerous if not bothered. As well as it being a wildlife enclosure that doesn’t smell completely like a zoo, they definitely maintain the facilities with care and attention to detail with the historical architecture. My favorite moment was the traditional performance that happened at 3:30pm for us, the sweet lady who got our tickets out front did some amazing tricks while singing and dancing(and a very special party trick) along with a instrumentalist accompanying her all while entertaining the young kids there(I don’t speak Japanese but the nuance of giggles and clapping enhanced the not complete understanding, hearing kids shout out and laugh just kind of makes you feel at home in the moment for me personally). Overall super great experience, really well priced I would honestly say they should raise the price but that’s just me.

The traditional Okinawan village is one of the island’s main attractions. The Squirrel Monkeys attraction in the village is a must-see, very cute.

Beautiful village to explore. Information about the buildings was available in both Japanese and English on all the signs. The monkeys are in a separate, gated area, so you do not have to visit them if you do not want to. There is an area to leave your bags before you enter the gated area. The monkeys were much smaller than I expected and not aggressive at all. Seems completely safe for small children and there were many there when we visited.

It's a serene place and a pleasant way to spend your afternoon. There is a bus station right at the entrance so it's very accessible.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Ishigaki, particularly because of the monkeys. They are incredibly cute and friendly and curiously explore your pockets with their tiny fingers, so you will be warned before entering the enclosure! We could happily just watch the monkeys for hours! There are also traditional Okinawa houses to explore. We had a musical performance by “grandma and grandpa” playing and singing traditional songs. Their personality charmed everyone, and I really enjoyed the experience, despite not speaking any Japanese! You can also paint your own Shisa statue or take photos dressed in traditional Okinawa clothes in the gift shop. An essential visit for kids and kids at heart. 😊

Fantastic time, and very cheap for what you get. Wish there was a little more information on the homes and objects. The monkeys are very fun, but do take your earring out or they will

A nice park that shows old Okinawan buildings. There was a sanshin player while we were there. However, cafes were closed, so be sure to eat before you go just to be safe. Oh, and if you want to feed the monkeys, bring 300yen inside the monkey section. The food is in a goshapon machine.

Really cool place to visit to see traditional onkinawa style houses

Quite expensive only a few houses to look at. The water buffalo is tied to a post and the monkey enclosure was very busy with visitors. Signs labelled to the manglove (should be mangrove) made me smile.

I initially thought this might be touristic like the ones on mainland Okinawa that are half theme parks but this was great. It was truly about learning about the life and culture of the people of Yaeyama islands. The squirrel monkey- which I also feared might be caged and bad- are adorable and free in their area, jumping around and interacting when people feed them. I’d deem this a must visit to understand the place you’re visiting.

Absolutely amazing old village with monkey park! Highly recommended! Visitors without the car: bus comes just few times a day so you might get stuck and need a taxi to ride back to hotel. No buses between 2.15 pm and 5.33 pm.. taxi will cost aprx 2600 yen..

Good place to see some old houses. Highlight for us are the monkeys. You feed them for a small fee.

I really loved my time here until I saw that the water buffalo had a rope attached from the ground to its mouth. It was laying down and the rope looked tight so I’m not even sure if it was able to stand up. I’m assuming it’s to keep it from escaping the enclosure but surely there are better ways to do that.

So much fun! This is great family place, you can walk around for few hours, exploring the mangroves and most importantly, have fun with the monkeys. The monkey area is just amazing. The monkeys are cute and playful and will come to you. Just adorable. We didn’t want to leave.

We had a fun time here today. The shops and people watching were great The salted donuts were wonderful, and the Mrs picked up some gifts. I can not get over how clean the entire place was. Everyone was very friendly!

In April of 2019, we enjoyed walking around and checking out different shops that are located in Euglena Mall. The people that worked there were very friendly and would talk to you without being pushy to buy something. That's how you can meet some of the locals and learn about them and Ishigaki island.

Not a shopping mall, but a small shopping street where we can get souvenirs at reasonable price.

Not that big, there are some really long waits and sometimes crowded. Despite all that, it's a great place and lots of options to choose from!

Relative to other euglena mall in japan, this one is short with less shops. Yet you may find it is the best place to stay when it is rainy.

Nice traditional mall. Full of souvenirs and treats. Beautiful and colorful 'shisa' dragons everywhere!

Great, covered shopping arcade with a good mix of gift shops, local cafes and restaurants. There's no parking here, park at the ferry terminal instead, it's an easy 10 minute flat walk between the two.

The campsite was closed and there was no signboard indicating that. The gates and other facilities were open so we thought there are no other campers because it’s a rainy season and the weather was not the best. Anyway, we camped there for one night and next day afternoon someone left a noye saying that campsite was closed. In a nutshell, the campsite is beautiful but the information was not updated and there was no way communicatinf to the poeple who run it.

Last week I visited the yonehara camping ground known for "Yonehara beach". From kabira bay ➡ Yonehara beach Less then 10mins by car 🚗 I recommend to have car if you visit there because here in ishigaki bus has it's own schedule and have different number and color code route it's confusing if you will visit here for 3 days escapade. It was my first time to be visit there, the weather was fine and it was little cloudy in the afternoon (time 14:00 to 16:00) Lets have checklist: 😎🏖✔ - SAND: white and same like sugar grain - WATER: it's cystal clear and has many coral and fish near the shore (sorry i don't have photo by the way im using samsung s8+ and iphone📸) - ENVIRONMENT: they have Comfort room (toilet, トイレ), wash and cooking area (I saw dried woods and stone like used to cooked i dont know what they call it), vendo machine for drinks (it was famous here in japan, it's everywhere) PROS: they alloted a space when they can put tent for campers. CONS: garbage disposal is not maintained, signage was visible but written in japanese. - ACTIVITIES: snorkeling, paddle boards, swimming, picnic with family and friends( this based on my observation that day) - RECOMENDATION: bring snorkeling gear because there's no rental shop, bring your own food store are far and expensive, first aid vinegar incase you encounter jellyfish. RATING: 4stars makes me feel i want to comeback :)

One of the best beach in yonehara to do some snorkeling

Camping is closed 9/8.

(Translated by Google) 20230906 The campground is currently closed. There are water stations and toilets. I visited here to get off to Maibara Beach. However, there are no showers, so I recommend entering from the neighboring Maibara. In Maibara, you can take a shower for 200 yen. (Original) 20230906 キャンプ場としては休業中。 水場やトイレはあります。 ここから米原ビーチへ降りるために訪問しました。 ただシャワーはないので隣の米原から入る方がお勧めかな。 米原なら200円でシャワーが浴びれます。

(Translated by Google) More than 30 years ago, while cycling across Japan, I heard about Maibara from a traveler in Hokkaido, and came to the place with fond memories.Since then, it has become a sacred place of my youth, where I stayed for long periods almost every year during my student days. After that, it became a training ground for Aum Shinrikyo's summer camp and fell into disarray. It was in the summer of 1995 that I burst into tears over the desolate Maibara. When I visited Maibara for the first time in 28 years, it was blocked off by a fence, parking had to be paid, the number of houses had increased, and it was full of money worshipers. The number of beach users has also increased with families, and the atmosphere has changed to a seemingly healthy one. Of course camping is prohibited. At that time, we received mail, and there were long-term residents with unique personalities, which made me think about life. At night, you can join someone's drinking party on the beach and tell the time by looking at the inclination of the constellations, or when you take a walk in the morning, Hijikata invites you to work part-time, and if you buy green papaya or other ingredients from the sea, you can save money for food. I was able to do it cheaply. I felt strongly that my youth was over. Farewell, days of youth. (Original) 今から30年以上前、自転車で日本縦断中、北海道で米原の事を旅人から聞いて、やって来た思い出の場所であり、以後、学生時代は毎年のように長期滞在した青春の聖地でした。 その後、オウム真理教のサマーキャンプ修行場となり、ぐちゃぐちゃになりました。 私は荒れ果てた米原に涙したのが1995年の夏でした。それから28年ぶりに訪れた米原は、フェンスで遮られ駐車場は有料化、住宅も増え、拝金主義者で溢れていました。ビーチ利用者も家族連れが増えて一見健全な雰囲気に変貌ぶりです。もちろんキャンプは禁止。当時は郵便物も届き、個性豊かな長期滞在者がいて、人生について考えさせられたりしました。夜はビーチで誰かの飲み会に参加して星座の傾きで時間を知ったり、朝に散歩してると土方のバイトの誘いを受けたり、食材は青いパパイヤや海で食材を調達すれば食費も安く済ませる事が出来ました。 そのような私の青春は終わったなと強く感じました。 さらば青春の日よ。

(Translated by Google) When I visited here seven years ago, there were still some tents and people camping. But since then, the liveliness of the past has completely disappeared, and I've started to feel lonely. Due to the influence of the coronavirus over the past few years, camping is now prohibited. There's really no sign of anyone anymore. In the kitchen, the faucets were rusted and no water came out, making it scorching. On the coast, except for the snorkeling tour guests enjoying marine leisure, most of the people were tourists who came for a walk. There are really no people left. It feels so good to lie down on a rug in the shade of a tree and listen to the sound of the waves. There were no crucian bugs, and probably because it was mid-morning, there were no itchy insects. I took a nap for a while. I like it here because there's a nice shade of trees where you can lie down while looking at the ocean. Although camping is no longer possible, it is an important place that I would like to visit again. (Original) 7年前にここを訪れたときは、まだいくつかのテントがあってキャンプしてる人もいたんですよ。 でもその頃からもう昔ほどの賑やかさはすっかり無くなってて、だんだん寂しくなってきてました。 ここ数年のコロナの影響も後押しして、今はキャンプ利用が禁止になっちゃってます。 もう本当に、人の気配すらない。炊事場だったところは水栓が錆びついて水も出ないし、シーーーーーーーンとしてる。 海岸は、スノーケリングツアーのお客さんたちがマリンレジャーを楽しんでる様子が見える以外は、散歩に訪れた観光客の人かな〜。ほんと人がいなくなってる。 木陰に敷物敷いて寝転がって波の音聞いてると、とてもいい気持ち。フナムシとかいないし、午前中だからか痒い虫も来なかった。ちょっとの間、昼寝さしてもらいました。 ここは海を見ながら寝そべったりできる、いい感じの木陰があるから好きなんだよね。キャンプはできなくなっちゃったけど、また訪れたい大事な場所。

Is open to public, a little bit hide at the back of the cruiser port/ terminal, if you like sports and history is worthy to visit

Famous Boxer Gushiken's Statue.

Monument of a famous boxer in front of the pier that people wouldn't miss.

Awesome statue.

(Translated by Google) Since I am standing facing west, it is backlit in the morning, but Gushiken is wonderful in the morning sun. (Original) 西向きに立っているので午前中は逆光になりますが、朝陽の具志堅さん素敵です。

(Translated by Google) Of course, when you think of Ishigaki Island, you think of this person and Rimi Natsukawa. If you go to Euglena Remote Island Terminal, you can't miss taking a commemorative photo. Unfortunately, the statue faces northwest, so commemorative photos tend to be backlit. It’s good to include that too~~~~^_^ You can almost hear it saying, “I don’t know what to do.” (Original) やっぱ、石垣島と言えばこの人と夏川りみさんでしょう。ユーグレナ離島ターミナルへ行ったら記念写真は外せません。 残念な事に銅像が北西を向いているため、記念写真は逆光になりがちです。 そこも含めて良いですよね〜〜〜^_^ “なんくるないさ〜”と聞こえてきそうです。

(Translated by Google) Just a little! However, young people may not know this. This is a statue of Gushiken, who was a famous boxer. It's a perfect place to take a commemorative photo just in case. It's just a shame that it looks a little backlit! That's the point. There is no doubt that the photo will look like you went to Ishigaki Island, so we recommend taking a photo here. (Original) チョッチねー！ と言っても若い方はご存知ないかもしれません。 有名なボクサーだった具志堅さんの像です。 とりあえずという感じで記念写真を撮るにはぴったりの場所ですね。 ただ少し逆光気味になるのが惜しい！というポイントですが。 石垣島に行ってきました的な写真になるのは間違い無いのでここで写真を撮るのをお勧めします

(Translated by Google) It's light. You can enjoy a 360 degree view, but it is only possible to see it on rare occasions due to the small number of flights arriving and departing. The height is about 4F, and there are no obstacles to the sea, so it is exposed to the wind. The walls are high for small children, so it is necessary to have them lifted up. I wonder who this facility is for. Another negative factor is that the intrusion route is difficult to understand.

A picturesque lighthouse. I recommend stopping by to see it as a rest stop during your drive.

The weather was not good at the time of my visit. If I could come to the same place in fine weather, I would probably have been beautiful. I would like to visit someday when the weather is nice.

Beautiful spot for sunset especially but really any time of day. Lots of little trails to explore and beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend bringing a camera!

Must visited place. It's very calm and peaceful place. Best for enjoying sunset. The view is mesmerizing! Free parking space available.

Such a beautiful place. Really loved the coast around the light house. Best timing for visiting the light house is sunset. The view is just breathtaking.

Beautiful views from this place. It's worth the walking uphill, there's nothing to buy.

The gate to heaven! Lighthouse with an unbelievable natural blessings as cliff or remote sandy beaches. All made and maintained perfectly. It’s a must visit place for sure

Well...good view...and the sound of water hitting the cliff is refreshing

At this resort, you do not get what you paid for. It’s not worth the money. We paid 35,000 yen / night and stayed in a family style villa. The room was old and worn - discolored wallpaper, old linens (our blankets were pilly!), fading color and broken furniture, etc. Hospitality and guest services gets a 2 star - not all staff were terrible but many were insincere and plain rude. The Splash Park for kids and breakfast buffet gets a 4 star. Although we had to wait more than an hour to be seated the first morning. Everyone in line, especially my kids, were hangry!

完全な子連れサイトなので、選ぶ際にそこは間違えてはいけない。 何よりも最高なのは、客室棟、プール、海がほぼ一続きになっているところ。特に、プールと海が直結している点はとてもよい。シームレスで往復できるのは、ストレスが少なくリゾート体験として良い思い出となる。 一方で、客室周りが若干貧相である。例えば、客室棟は薄暗いところや学生寮に近い雰囲気のところもあり、客室に行くまでに不安になる。良く言えば海外のリゾート地に近いが、ここは明るく開けたリゾート地、というイメージで行くと少しがっかりする。独立したコテージなどに泊まればその不安は払拭されるが、少しプールから遠いという弱点もある。 とはいえ、客室には全く問題がなく、滞在中は最上の体験ができる。 (Translated by Google) It's a complete child-friendly site, so don't make the mistake of choosing one. The best part of all is that the guest room building, pool, and ocean are almost all connected together. In particular, the fact that the pool is directly connected to the sea is very nice. The seamless round trip is a stress-free and memorable resort experience. On the other hand, the surroundings of the guest rooms are a bit poor. For example, some of the guest rooms are dimly lit and have an atmosphere similar to student dormitories, making me feel anxious before I even get to my room. At best, it's similar to overseas resorts, but if you go there thinking it's a bright and open resort, you'll be a little disappointed. If you stay in a separate cottage, that anxiety will be alleviated, but it also has the disadvantage of being a little far from the pool. However, there are no issues with the rooms and you will have the best experience during your stay.

Great resort. Top service and amazing breakfast buffets. All in all one of the best resorts I've ever stayed. Kid friendly, top food and just a beautiful place to spend your time. Would definitely go back.

The check-in and pool/bath staffs were polite and nice but the restaurant manager provided poor service. When I arrived at the Bold Kitchen restaurant, he asked for my room number and I told him my room number. Then he checked the computer and read my full name out loud. I was embarrassed and do not understand why he needed to read out my name out loud. I also witness an incident during breakfast where this same restaurant manager could not manage the guests well. A couple complaint to him about other families in the restaurant some with small kids who are watching iPad. He should suggest to the couple another table where it is a bit more quiet. The Bold Kitchen may want to consider sitting guests with different needs to avoid the same incident. Pity because other staffs are quite excellent except for this restaurant manager ruining the stay.

I did not stay here, I only used the facility for an official engagement with government officials. The menu was intricate and artisanal to a baffling degree. Everything was delicious, everything of the utmost satisfaction. My only complaint is that they served us a combination of different alcoholic drinks, which left most of us incredibly intoxicated. Does that even count as a complaint? I guess it's a matter of preference.

Staff…. was professional and very friendly and accommodating. Food… wide variety and fairly tasty but very very over-priced!! Service…. Very good. Rental costs for equipment was way too high. Was shocked that all 3 pools were 120cm deep except the kids pool. My son is 110cm so was deep for him so I had to rent a rubber inflatable ring which I really felt they should have just offered free use since the room changes were so high. Pool was not heated of course so too cold to go in. Indoor pool became preferable since it was warm. Free use of inflatable ring indoors but not outdoors. Terrible choice on part of management. Music entertainment was so load that I could hear it from the south wing rooms which were the furthest away. I think more acoustic music instead of having it amplified like a rock concert would have been better. Parking lot was very far from the front desk so we had to wait for a van to take us to jump in the rental car. Booking tours was pretty good but a few didn’t allow a 5-year old to ride on the boat. We ended up going on a tour with very young-amateur guides which turned out to be a waste of ¥35,000 for 2 adults. We were changed ¥5,000 for son to be on the boat. Beach front was great both early morning views of the fish yo evening sunsets. Kids pool (outdoor) was amazing. Very cold but very fun!! Overall if you have lots of money to stay in a nice hotel I recommend this one. Just choose times when the pool water is warm.

良かった点 他の親御さんの口コミにもあった通り、子どもが狂ったようにプールに夢中。3泊しましたが毎日、朝と夜とプール合宿並みにプールで遊びました。野外も屋内もスライダーが90cm以上から使えたので、幼児にもぴったり。 プールの、目の前がビーチなので、プールと海への行き来が楽。絵になる風景だった。小さな魚も頑張れば見つけられる。 ウェルネスセンターの大浴場も開放感があって良かった。 ファミリーウェルカムのアメニティが随所にある点は、小さな子ども連れにとって、とてもおすすめできるリゾートホテル。逆に、のんびりしたいカップルなどには、ちょっと合わないかも。 コインランドリーが点在しているのはすごく助かった。私が宿泊した、ヴィラのすぐ近くにあり、空いている時に使えたので連泊にはありがたい。また、部屋に洗濯を干す竿が置いてあり、水着を干すことができた。 悪い点 スタッフの接遇に差がある点。笑顔のスタッフもいれば、朝食ビュッフェの際に目があったら視線を逸らされたり、気だるそうにぐるぐるとただ巡回しているスタッフもいた。また、スタッフとすれ違う際の挨拶があまり聞かれない印象だった。良い箱を用意したのに、接遇力が不足しているため、星4つのホテルにしては、、、という残念な印象になってしまった。とはいえ、頑張ってるスタッフももちろんいるので、ぜひとも接遇力アップに力を入れてほしい。 あと、ライフガードのスタッフさんの中に怖い人もいた点。他のお子さんが滑り台を逆に登っていることに対して、怒号のように注意している年配の、ライフガードをみて、恐怖を感じた。市営プールじゃないのだから、もう少し優しく注意しても良いのでは。また、子どものすぐ近くで入水していてと、注意された我が夫もライフガードの言い方がキツくて怖かったと苦言を呈していた。近くで喫煙していたマル暴の方と思われる方へ注意したライフガードは、すごく笑顔で柔らかい物腰だったが、自分への注意の仕方と全く違かったと苦笑い。相手によって態度を変えるのはちょっとどうかと。もちろんすごく優しく丁寧に接してくれてるライフガードさんもいたので、これで全員の評価になってしまうのは不本意ですが。 また、お部屋から前の宿泊者の忘れ物と思われるボールが出てきた。お掃除がんばれ！部屋に入った瞬間のカビ臭さも少し気になった。ヴィラタイプの維持管理は大変だと思いますが、応援してます。 その他 朝食は2タイプから選べるビュッフェスタイル。特にコメントなし。 フサキビーチでできる、アクティビティもたくさんあった。今回は利用してないのでコメントなし。 (Translated by Google) It was good point As mentioned in the reviews from other parents, my child is crazy about the pool. I stayed for 3 nights and played in the pool every day, morning and night, just like I was at a pool training camp. The slider can be used both outdoors and indoors from a height of 90cm or more, making it perfect for young children. The beach is right in front of the pool, so it's easy to go back and forth between the pool and the ocean. It was a picturesque scenery. Even small fish can be found if you try hard. The large public bath at the wellness center also had a nice open feel. This resort hotel is highly recommended for families with small children as it has family welcome amenities throughout. On the other hand, it may not be suitable for couples who want to relax. It was very helpful that there were coin laundry machines scattered around. It was close to the villa where I stayed, and I was able to use it when it was free, so it was great for multiple nights. There was also a laundry rack in the room, so I was able to hang my swimsuits to dry. Bad points There are differences in the staff's treatment. Some of the staff were smiling, others looked away when we met them during the breakfast buffet, and others were just pacing around in a listless manner. Also, I had the impression that staff members didn't really greet me when I passed them. Although we had prepared a good package, the lack of customer service left us with a disappointing impression for a 4-star hotel. That said, there are of course some staff members who are working hard, so I would like them to focus on improving their customer service skills. Also, some of the lifeguard staff were scary. I was horrified when I saw an elderly lifeguard yelling at other children who were climbing the slide backwards. It's not a municipal pool, so maybe they should be a little more careful. Also, my husband, who was warned that he was in the water too close to his child, complained that the lifeguard's words were harsh and scary. The lifeguard who alerted someone who appeared to be a gangster who was smoking nearby had a big smile and a soft demeanor, but he said with a wry smile that the way he was alerting himself was completely different. I think it's okay to change your attitude depending on the person you're dealing with. Of course, there were some lifeguards who treated us very kindly and politely, so I don't want to judge them all based on this. Also, a ball that appeared to have been left behind by the previous guest was found in the room. Good luck cleaning! There was also a slight musty smell when I entered the room. I think it's difficult to maintain and manage a villa type property, but I'm rooting for you. others Breakfast is buffet style with two types to choose from. No particular comment. There were many activities that you could do at Fusaki Beach. I haven't used it this time so no comments.

First night had to change rooms and waited for a while for a replacement but they made it up for the service the staff did. Its a very beautiful English friendly resort, food is amazing, plenty of cute little shops, bars, resturants and places to relax with either not too many or no people about. Delicious coffee in the rooms. Hotel takes card but would be nice if it had an ATM.

Easily, the best resort in Ishigaki. If you are looking for an all-inclusive hotel/resort/beach experience, the Fusaki is a wonderful option. They have one of the few indoors pools on Ishigaki Island, a large sento (public bath), several restaurants, and water activities (jet ski tubing) at the onsite beach.

The Bali of Japan! This resort is so wonderful and the Ishigaki Bold Kitchen is exquisite. They offer 60-80 buffet menu style. Highly recommend it! A huge thank you to Ami for the wonderful welcome and booking us in!

Stayed in an ocean view twin room and it was AMAZING! View was of the ocean and the trees and was beautiful even on a cloudy day. The staff was wonderful. The resort was family friendly but also great for couples. The restaurants and setting did not disappoint. I want to acknowledge Hoang at the front desk and Mayuka in the spa. Thank you so much for making my weekend so wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Googleの口コミ、予約サイトの口コミにもよくない口コミがたくさんあったのに気にせず行ってしまったこと後悔しました。 価格にみあったサービスはうけられません。 掃除もされてません。 ベッドに寝そべり天井をみたら電球の周りのホコリが大変なことになっており（火事にならないのか？というほど） こんなホコリが山積みのホテルみたこともないし、家のめったに掃除しない場所でもこんなことにはならないと思うくらいのホコリがいまにも落ちてきそうな状態で それがあちらこちら エアコンもカビ、ホコリ臭く全くオープンから掃除はしていないのではないか？というくらいこちらもホコリがびっしり アレルギーの子供がいるのでもう少しマシな部屋に変えてもらうことになったが 子供がもう寝てしまったので初日の夜はマスキングテープで塞いで、翌日移動することになったが、その際も鍵を「はい。」と渡されるだけで謝罪もありませんでした。 朝のビュッフェも、いまいちで2日目だけ中華のビュッフェ（まぐろがある）にいきましたがなんとも言えない感じでした。 こんなことなら少しプラスして他のホテルにすべきでした。 金額相応の期待をしてしてはいけませんでした。 ベットメイク後に部屋に戻った時の入口の写真です。 スリッパも並べられないのか？と衝撃的なでした。 (Translated by Google) I regret that I went without paying attention to the many negative reviews on Google and on the reservation site. You can't get a service that matches the price. It hasn't been cleaned either. When I was lying in bed and looked at the ceiling, I noticed that there was a lot of dust around the light bulbs (couldn't it cause a fire?) I've never seen a hotel with so much dust piled up, and even in areas of my house that I rarely clean, there's so much dust that it seems like it's about to fall. That's all over the place The air conditioner also smells of mold and dust, and I guess it hasn't been cleaned since it was opened. This place is also full of dust. I have a child with allergies, so I had to change him to a slightly better room. Since the child was already asleep, we closed the room with masking tape on the first night and had to move the next day, but they just handed us the key and said, "Yes," without apologizing. The morning buffet was also not very good, and I went to the Chinese buffet (which had tuna) only on the second day, but it was not good at all. If this was the case, I should have paid a little more and chose another hotel. I shouldn't have expected anything commensurate with the price. This is a photo of the entrance when I returned to my room after making my bed. Can't you line up slippers too? It was shocking.

Wanted to like it so much more & it had so much going for it, specially the public spaces-beautiful lobby, amazing pool & idyllic beachfront location… but it seems your experience very much depends which room you get and who your neighbors are. If you’re in a villa, then you’ll be faced with a musty smell and very tired surroundings in desperate need of an upgrade/refurb. Bedsheets pilled, damaged floors & fly screens and dripping faucet. Maybe a cockroach or two. You really need to have a car to stay here as it’s a bit remote and little nearby, so then you’re stuck with their restaurants, which are really nothing special. Dinner buffet at ¥5,800 is steep for what you get. All this said, staff were all amazing and kudos to them for solving problems. And it seems a perfect resort for young families with kids. Hope some renos and upgrades are on the cards soon, then this place would be stellar

We very much enjoyed our 5-day stay at Fusaki Beach Resort on Ishigaki-jima. It is quite conveniently located for getting to the ferry terminal and is about a half hour taxi ride from the airport. Be warned that the hotel is quite expansive and it was a long walk from the lobby to our room, although it is possible to request a cart ride from the friendly staff. We especially loved the breakfast buffet, both in the western style and Japanese style restaurants. The quality and variety of food on offer was outstanding and we all looked forward to eating as much as possible every morning! My daughters loved the pools and the private beach, where they were able to find some lovely seashells. Strongly recommended!

We had a wonderful vacation. The young staff in the northern area are very enthusiastic and always greet when meeting tourists

This was one of the most disappointing travel experiences. While the propoerty and shared amenities are beautiful (big pools, nice beach etc.), the actual rooms are very outdated, dirty, and do not stay cool. We stayed in a villa and on the second night found 2 cockroaches in the room and another one crawling in our bed. The room had obvious mold and dirt in the corners and along the ceiling, and the bathrooms were very outdated. The AC unit did not work well enough to cool the room, so it ended up being 80F/26C all the nights we were there. Even after complaining and asking to be moved to a new room, we were put back in the same type of old room and all the problems (no AC, bugs, dirty) were exactly the same. Wish I could recommend this, but for what you are paying this simply isn't worth it.

Stayed here for 5 nights and it was an amazing place to be! All the staff were excellent, caring and accommodating to the fact we are not native Japanese. Amongst the highlights were the food and restaurants. We tried both the western style one (bold kitchen) and the Asian fusion style one and the food was exceptional. Often in buffets, food can quickly look tired but all of the food was extremely fresh no matter what time we dined. We also loved the facilities and especially the outdoor pools, the indoor pool and hot baths. The room was very clean and comfortable also. If I were to give constructive feedback it would be to offer some less expensive food options as it was very expensive for 5 days. We did go and dine in the city nearby on 2 nights because of this. We also found a very nice cafe on the hill within walking distance (see my other reviews). I would also suggest maybe a shuttle bus into the city in the evening maybe? However, the resort overall was amazing and so we will definitely come back (from Australia) again! We can’t wait! Thanks to everyone at the resort!

We stayed her at the beginning of March and it was not at all crowded. The facilities are great and the food is incredibly good. Highly recommended!!!!

Pretty public beach easily accessible from Ishigaki Seaside Hotel. I believe there is also public parking nearby (not from the hotel). Fair warning it's not very sandy except at low tide. At high tide it's really shelly/rocky and you've gotta watch out for coral and larger hermit crabs. But at low tide you can walk out pretty far and find some starfish, crabs, and small fish swimming around!

I would call this “hermit crab paradise”. Literally hundreds of scuttering hermit crabs, really fun for time lapse videos and having them break sticks with their claws.... Sand is amazing, also a cool little park for kids to play at. Older lady charges 100 yen for using the shower, not too bad. I recommend bringing your own food and drinks since there is almost no shops around

Looked rather ghostly because of the Covid related travel ban that has prevented tourists from trooping in, but it provides a serene and peaceful environment for chilling. Jellyfishes are in the deeper side of the area though, so it's best to swim closer to the coast when the tide is a bit higher.

Very beautiful place to bring kids. Very shallow. Big parking area. Small shop. Shower for 200 yen.

No bus directly here. Only with car or on foot. If it’s hot then very tiring. But the beach is beautiful and there is a protection against jelly fish.

Shallow crystal clear water that stretches 100+ meters. Tranquil and beautiful but not good for snorkeling. Free parking and shower available

Shallow beach so good for family with kids. Crystal clear water and nice scenery.
