Theme park

History Museums
Ishigaki Yaima Village is a charming recreation of a traditional Okinawan village, nestled on a hill overlooking the picturesque Nagura Bay of Ishigaki Island. This southernmost theme park in Japan features well-preserved Yaeyama houses, some of which are designated as national tangible cultural properties. Visitors can enjoy the serene ambiance while exploring the house-lined streets, trying on traditional Ryukyu kimonos, and painting their own shisha figurines.
This place is highly underrated. We’ve spend a nice day there. You can easily spend 3-4h or more, depending on the activities you do. You can see a traditional dance from the island, feed small squirrel monkeys, and paint your own Shisa statue. It was fun! If you go to the village by bus, I advice to plan ahead, since the last bus back to Ishigaki leaves quite early (otherwise, the nice ladies at the reception can call a taxi for you, but it’s not cheap).

I've been to several recreation villages and always like seeing the old architecture and the reconstructions of the past. This village was a great example of what it would have been like a hundred years ago and it wasn't over crowded with people which was nice. Great place to explore and take the family too.
David B — Google review
An excursion activity of our MSC cruise. The key attraction is squirrel monkeys. They were kept in a huge cage with a lot of space for them to play around & fighting for foods? Surprised to see two mother monkeys have their baby monkey holding their back all the time. It, indeed, looks like & about the side if squirrels.
J.David H — Google review
It costs 1,200yen per adult. The weather was so hot when we went and it was hard to explore without drenching in sweat. So make sure to bring an umbrella if you go on a hot summer day! We got to see the created serpent eagle, and a water buffalo which smelled horrid. The most enjoyable part was seeing the squirrel monkeys, they were so adorable! You need to leave your things before entering as they might grab them. They recommend to only bring in your wallet and phones. We only stayed for a little over an hour. It was not crowded at all.

We love visiting this village every time we come to Ishigaki! The historic parts of the park are so interesting to look at! We also really love the squirrel monkeys! We’ve also done the shisa painting in the store and it was so much fun! The teacher gave us a small history lesson on shisa dogs and we were so grateful to learn ! Highly recommend !

It’s nice to visit this place. It’s full of memories and offers both historical and ecological learning experiences. There are villages, small traditional performances, and a path through the mangroves where you can see mudskippers, crabs, squirrels monkeys and even water buffalo. Must try “pork soba” at front restaurant too. So yummy!

The beach is open from late March to October and features a lifeguard on duty as well as anti-jellyfish nets for safety. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling tours and observe various marine creatures such as sea turtles and manta rays.
Beautiful beach with a swimming area. We brought our own blanket and towels and set up on the beach by the hotel chairs. Luckily there were a few clouds to block the sun at times.

Below the reach of extravagant resorts such as Club Med, this private beach offers an exclusive experience for those seeking a touch of a little luxury. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the unspoilt surroundings, provides the perfect escape for those looking to indulge in a little extravagance. It's a place where you can enjoy a peaceful retreat with a touch of first class service, making it a hidden gem for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

This was a fun beach to bike to. You can try to find star sand here, but I found it impossible! There are some cute swings and ropes for kids (or adults) to play on😂

Private beach but open to everyone. Sand is artificial, water is artificial (in a way) and loud music is playing nearby... Facilities surcharge and very limited shades. After seeing the sunset, only possible to get out with a taxi. Somehow the sky isn't blue either, along with the seawater...
Han C — Google review
An absolutely beautiful beach with a resort nearby. A great place to enjoy a swim in the large fenced area (free of jellyfish) or a walk along the beach or pier. Also, feel free to take advantage of the bar and seating the resort offers nearby. This beach features a spectacular view of the sunrise or sunset. Be mindful to wear flip flops on the beach as the sand is littered with crushed, sharp coral bits. Only drawback, but overall an amazing beach with beautiful views.
Jay O — Google review
A very well equipped beach belongings to the nearby hotel/resort. There are nets protecting from jellyfish. The swimming area is wide and deep at the far end, and it also suitable for snorkeling, with a couple of large rocks hosting colorful varieties of fish. The beach has parasols and sun lounges (charges apply for non resident guests) and a good bar. Definitely a top choice for convenience.

Banna Park, situated in the heart of Ishigaki Island, is a sprawling nature park named after the 230-meter-high Mt. Banna. The park offers diverse attractions for visitors of all ages, including an 'Adventure Playground' for kids, forested trails, and bird-watching observatories. From April to June, visitors can witness fireflies along the 'Firefly Trail,' while an insect museum showcases the island's unique creepy-crawlies.
There are some observatories. If you rent a car, I highly recommend to drive there to check some spots.

Loved Banna Park! The walk around the grounds was perfect on a day with light drizzle. The insect museum was awesome and the staff were so friendly and helpful even though I don’t speak any Japanese. We had a great time. The staff member at the counter informed us of a craft fair going on and I got some amazing nature themed souvenirs.

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

Scenic spot
Hirakubozaki, also known as Cape Hirakubo, is Ishigaki's most northern point and a picturesque, unspoiled area of the island. At the tip of the cape stands the iconic white Hirakubozaki Lighthouse, offering panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and grasslands where cattle graze. The crystal-clear waters below reveal coral reefs and a deep drop-off into sapphire-colored seas.
It took about an hour drive from the south part of the island, but absolutely worth it. The view is breathtaking, a must-visit spot to see the clear blue sea.

The view & THE ICE CREAM. As is being repeated in the reviews - yes the view is absolutely amazing. But so is the ice cream ! In stead of driving to the top and fight for the scarce parking, stop at the parking 40mtrs below and enjoy the great ice cream served by the very nice lady from her food truck (you can get a burger or a beer as well!) It is worth it!!

If you’re staying in Ishigaki island this is definitely a spot you have to check out. The scenery is so beautiful and it helps if it’s a sunny day. This is the northern most point on Ishigaki island. Parking can be a bit tricky though if you’re driving as there are only like 5 parking spots in the actual lot.

Also pretty good views from the parking area if you have restrictions. Our guide Yurika was SO kind and shared her vast knowledge of Okinawa, her love of people and her recipes. Thank you Yuri!

Maybe because it was a cloudy day, there weren't many people around. There's no parking fee, and there aren't really any convenience facilities nearby. However, the overall natural scenery and the driving route are so beautiful that I highly recommend it.

Amazing views looking both north and south along the east coast of the island. The brush and trees have been cut back so the views are unimpeded. There is also a very nice amount of landscaping and flowers with paved paths to explore. Definitely worth stopping to visit if you're in the area.

**Service:** Facilities are neat and convenient with free parking and clean restrooms. The site is well maintained and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. **Ambiance:** Quiet and peaceful with expansive panoramic sea views. The fresh ocean breeze adds to the relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a serene break. **Recommendation:** Ideal for travelers who appreciate nature and scenic beauty. Couples, families, and solo explorers will enjoy the 180° to 360° coastal views, especially at sunrise or sunset when the colors are stunning. **Overall review** 玉取崎展望台 is a top must-visit on Ishigaki Island, offering breathtaking ocean panoramas in a calm and accessible setting.

Historic Sites
Toujin Tomb, a Chinese-style tomb constructed in 1971, serves as a memorial for 120 Chinese laborers who tragically lost their lives in 1852. Originally part of a group of nearly 400 individuals being transported from Amoy to California, the laborers found themselves shipwrecked off the coast of Ishigaki due to a reef. Following mistreatment by the ship's crew, they sought refuge on the island and were provided shelter and protection by the locals.
Very Chinese influenced tomb with very detailed art. The signs are in Japanese. There are other movements on the site. Most are in Japanese only. The one with the tribute to 3 Americans who died is in English. It was really heartfelt to read about the history. You realize how far the WWII was felt on all the islands and why the Japanese strove for world peace. Free. Parking on the side. Has bathrooms on site.
Yuuki A — Google review
The memorial to three U.S. Naval aviators is located here. The plaque describes their capture and execution by Japanese troops during WW2. Two of the men were beheaded and the third was tortured and used for bayonet practice, all in violation of international human rights law and the law of war. The site is a poignant reminder of the horror of war and the lessons we can learn from the sins of previous generations.

(Translated by Google) The southernmost temple in Japan. The Okinawan-style red brick roof and tropical trees stand out against the blue sky. There's not much of a commercial feel to it, which I think is fine. The Chinese-style name is also fitting for the Shō dynasty.

Ishigaki Shiritsu Yaeyama Museum, established in 1972, showcases the history and culture of the Yaeyama Islands. The museum features a diverse collection of local crafts, including traditional boats, festival shiisa masks, textiles, and scale models of traditional architecture. Visitors can also explore archeological finds and historic documents. Additionally, seasonal exhibitions are held throughout the year.
It's a small museum but packed with a wide range of Yaeyama traditions from pre-history to the daily life of Yaeyama Islanders. It's a fun place to see if you are a big fan of history and want to know more about Yaeyama traditions. Most explanations are in Japanese, but they put some books to explain a little in English. It is a good place to visit in the rain. They have three-car parking spaces directly in front of the main entrance. The ticket price is ¥200 for adults and ¥100 for kids. (August 2024)

Super interesting museum! I went on a rainy day, and it was pretty chilly inside. There’s lots to see in the museum for how small it looks!! The exhibits themselves all have Japanese labels, but there are little stands situated around the museum with English and Chinese booklets explaining the exact same things. For 200 yen, definitely worth the 1-1.5 hours I spent there!

A large hall containing cultural and historical artefacts from around the Yaeyama islands. Entry fee is 200 yen.

It is a small, low key museum with some interesting items (like water kettle made from a big sea shell). I can sense that the museum is more for locals to connect to their roots than to entertain foreign tourists. You probably only need 30 min to go through all.

Mostly a collection of objects from the ancient era, with a few simple displays about local customs, practices etc. There was a booklet with English translations that had one or two interesting titbits but the museum was organized in a pretty haphazard manner overall.

This street is the main shopping area on the island, featuring a variety of shops. It’s convenient to grab souvenirs at the tax-free store, where you can find unique items without the extra tax. It’s a great spot to pick up gifts and mementos from your visit!

There are all kinds of souvenirs here from Ishigaki and Okinawa generally, with prices much better than on the airport or closer to the hotels. There are also some restaurants and normal shops however I didn't have a chance to visit those.

You can buy many souvenirs there and you can enjoy eating and drinking there.it’s small but has many things for gifts but not many fruits and vegetables.

As a tourist, this is the one place you will end up! ‘Nuff said! A lot of shops sell more or less the same: souvernirs and island produce (this summer I saw that craft beer and salt was rather hot items, and I recommend both🤣) There are a lot of nearby restaurants and inside the shopping mall its also a food court which is rather good. Locals dont go here, but they do frequent the bars and restaurants round the corners. There is also a third floor here with «authentic» items… wonder what that is, because when I was here they had closed the floor gor the evening.

You can enjoy eating, drinking and buying souvenirs in this market. You can find local riceball, sweets, Orion draft beer for 400yen, etc.

You can buy many Okinawa related souvenirs here. Most of the shops open at around 10:00 and closes around 20:00 - 21:00. Not much restaurants inside while most of the shops are selling similar products. You can also buy some raw meat here to cook at your hotel. The market is not large and only around 200m long.

Gongendo Shrine is a Ryukyu-style building located just west of Ishigaki Port. It is the first temple and shrine building in Yaeyama, enshrining Kumano Gongen, built by King Shonei at the suggestion of the Satsuma clan. Although it has been rebuilt and renovated, it remains a nationally important cultural property. The shrine's layout and historical significance make it a must-visit attraction on Ishigaki Island.
It is a beautiful shrine. I was delighted by the amazing details on it. It is walking distance from the city centre and it is side by side to the Tourinji Temple. It was built in 1614, and it is considered to be the first shrine to be built in the Yaeyama region. It is dedicated to the deity Kumano Gongen. The shrine was rebuilt several times over the years due to natural disasters.

(Translated by Google) Gongendo was founded in 1614 at the same time as Torinji Temple, and is said to be the first temple and shrine in Yaeyama. Its current appearance is due to damage caused by Typhoon No. 13 that hit the Yaeyama region in 2006, and in 2007, maintenance and repair work was completed as part of a two-year project with national subsidy from the Agency for Cultural Affairs. The carvings and paintings of animals in various places are kept in beautiful condition. (Original) 権現堂は1614年に隣接する桃林寺と同時に創建された、八重山で初めての寺社とのことです。現在の姿は2006年に八重山地方を襲った大型台風13号の被害を受け、2007年に文化庁の国庫補助を受けて2カ年継続事業として保全修理工事を終えたもので、屋根の飾りや各所にある動物の彫刻わ絵が綺麗な状態で保たれております。

(Translated by Google) On my 28th trip to Japan, I arrived at Ishigaki Island. According to documents within the shrine, the Satsuma clan arrived in 1611 and discovered that there were no Satsuma temples or shrines on the island. They therefore proposed the construction of a temple to the Ryukyu King, Shōnin. Construction began in 1614, simultaneously with the construction of the adjacent Torinji Temple. (Original) 第28回日旅,來到石垣島。 根據神社內的文獻說明:1611年薩摩藩來此,發現島上竟無任何薩寺廟神社,於是向琉球國王尚寧建議建造,在1614年與旁邊的桃林寺同時開工。

(Translated by Google) Visited the shrine in the morning on February 15, 2024. A shrine next to Torinji Temple on Ishigaki Island Torinji Temple is a famous tourist attraction, but you can also visit here as well. On that day, there were no people in the precincts, so I was able to worship quietly. A splendid stone wall, a red gate rather than a torii gate, and a main hall that is typical of Okinawa. This is the oldest wooden building in Okinawa and is designated as an important cultural property.

(Translated by Google) 2024.02.24 The shrine located next to Torinji Temple is dedicated to Kumano Gongen. When the Satsuma domain inspected the land in Yaeyama in 1611, they found that there were no temples or shrines in the area, so they advised King Shonei to build one along with the neighboring Torinji Temple (1614). It was an offer, but I wouldn't have been able to refuse it. When you pass through the gate, there is an atrium in the center of the worship hall, and you can see the temple in the back. The shrine has an interesting shape with altars on both sides. The temple has a typical Okinawan design, with rainbow beams decorated with elephants and other interesting decorative patterns. On the roof is a dragon and a flame jewel instead of a Shisa. (Original) 2024.02.24 桃林寺の隣に位置するお社は熊野権現をお祀りしている。1611年に薩摩藩が八重山の検地をした際、この地に寺社がないため、尚寧王に進言し隣の桃林寺とともに造らせたようた(1614年)。進言とあるが断ることはできなかっただろう。 門をくぐると拝殿の中央が吹き抜けで、奥の神殿が見えている。拝殿の両側には祭壇が設けられた面白い形状。神殿は沖縄らしい意匠で、虹梁に象があしらわれているほか、装飾の図柄も面白い。屋根にはシーサーではなく龍と火炎宝珠がのっている。

12Ishigaki Stalactite Cave

Mentioned on

Ishigaki Stalactite Cave is a massive natural cavern on Ishigaki-jima, offering a mesmerizing display of stalactites illuminated with playful lighting. The island is easily accessible from major cities in Japan, making it an ideal escape to immerse in preserved nature. Accommodation options range from luxurious resorts with sea views to traditional Japanese apartments and inns for a more authentic experience.
**About this place:** Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave is a natural wonder carved over 200,000 years, famous for its wild, imaginative rock formations like creatures, Buddha figures, and even Totoro shapes. Each turn reveals new surprises, and the cave extends much deeper and wider than most limestone caves across Japan. ——————— **Scene and views:** The interior is vast, featuring dramatic stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by vibrant rainbow lights. Some sections look like sculpted curtains or pillars, blending white calcite with colorful reflections for astonishing visual appeal. ——————— **Atmosphere** Walking inside feels almost magical, with cool, humid air enveloping visitors as ambient lights and shadows build a dreamlike mood. Natural silence and themed installations amplify both relaxation and curiosity. ——————— **Recommendation:** Ideal for families, solo travelers, and anyone with an active imagination – the cave is a creative playground for visual exploration. Art lovers and photographers will especially appreciate the spectacle and endless shapes inviting interpretation. ——————— **Overall review:** Compared to other caves in Japan, Ishigaki’s formation variety and scale stand out – it’s easy to lose track of time exploring all the nooks. The cave could be even more popular with improved design and modern touches, but its raw nature offers a refreshing authentic experience. Unforgettable for anyone who enjoys discovering the extraordinary hidden beneath the earth. ———————
Bee T — Google review
Such a beautiful stalactite cave, worth visiting if you have spare time. It is around 3km long, and is the 7th longest stalactite cave in Japan. The stalactite looks even better in real life than on photo. They also showcased coconut crab and butterfly womb. Before you leave, check out the nice souvenir shop. I rented a bike and rode 30min to reach the cave.
Ross C — Google review
Went on my own and is a must visit. Caught the Bus no. 8 from the Port Bus Terminal. Took about 15 minutes on the bus and then walk about 10 minutes. Not complicated to go at all on your own. It took about to 30 minutes to walk through the cave leisurely and is comparable to the Stalactite Cave in Valencia with the exception of the in Cave pond in Valencia. The only thing is make sure you finish the visit and get back to the bus stop by 2:00 pm because the no. 8 bus back to the port bus station runs only twice a day. If you finished early, and want to catch the bus back but you want to eat something, no problem. The return bus station is right by Ikkyu Restaurant.

We really enjoyed our visit to Ishigaki Caves! The walk through the formations was pleasant, and I particularly liked being able to explore independently. Even though the cave tour doesn't take very long, it's a worthwhile and relaxing way to pass some time. Don't miss the restaurant and shop, they're both excellent!

We came to the cave by taxi, so this part was easy 🙂 (paid 1500 JPY from Comfort hotel) We paid 1200 JPY for one ticket. The cave is well-organised, maybe even too much😅. It’s not too small: one can run it in 10 min, but we did it slowly walking in about 30 min with photos and stopping to enjoy the moment. In my personal opinion it worth the money🙂

Yoneko Yaki Kobo Shisa Farm is a unique pottery workshop in Ishigaki that offers a different perspective on the island's traditions. Here, visitors can witness the creation of shisa animals, which are iconic figures in Okinawan mythology known for warding off evil spirits. The outdoor workshop, located near Maibara Beach, features numerous large shisa sculptures that continue to grow in number.
This is a really cool and original art exhibit. Very much enjoyed it! See the photos. There's a large parking area if you drive in between the shisa shop on the right. No entry fee.

Definitely a unique place to visit! A lot of cool and funky sculptures can be seen whilst walking around. Would recommend a quick visit! No entrance fee and there is a good amount of parking space. There is a shop right next to the entrance as well that sells a wide variety of Shisa statues.

There is a shop with many shiisaa for sale (many sizes and prices, I got some small ones for 1650円), a small factory where you can see them being made, and a giant park filled with huge concrete shiisaa sculptures. It is very fun to walk around and see the expressive statues.

Ryūjin Limestone Cave on Ishigaki Island offers visitors a unique experience alongside the island's stunning beaches and ocean. This popular tourist spot has been formed over centuries, with 660 meters of its impressive 3,200-meter stretch open to the public. It's a must-visit for those seeking adventure and natural wonders during their time on Ishigaki Island.
Really beautiful 😍

The caves we went into were interesting to see, but the experience overall was not worth the price. It’s ¥2,000 per person (buy a ticket at the vending machine inside the store - but beware as it does NOT give you change). When we went there was nobody at the store to guide us through (the door at the end is the actual entrance) and half of the attractions are closed.

(Translated by Google) A word first! If you have small children, it's better not to go because it's dangerous! The entrance is pitch black! No directions! I feel lost! It's dark even on the way! There are many forks in the road and no guidance! You will get wet at the exit on rainy days, so we recommend turning back. Write it first! When you think you've finally reached the exit, turn back! That's too bad! The exit is also a jungle and I don't know where to go! Everything is unmanned! Recommended for people who want to get injured.

(Translated by Google) It's located at the end of the road, a few minutes' drive past the cowboy dolls next to the rotary. The entrance has a lonely atmosphere. You need to buy a ticket from the ticket vending machine located in the building next to Yaeyama Limestone Cave before entering. (It's never free) The set will take you around a limestone cave. The price was 2000 yen per adult. It's quite a distance to walk, so I'd recommend traveling by car. (Original) ロータリー脇のカウボーイ人形の先を車で数分行った先の突き当たりにあります。 寂しい雰囲気の入口です。 「八重山鍾乳洞」びある建物にあるチケット販売機でチケット買ってから入る必要があります。 (決して無料ではありません) セットで鍾乳洞をまわれます。 料金は大人1人2000円でした。 歩くと結構、距離はありますので車での移動前提でしょうか。

(Translated by Google) Read the reviews and see something scary! On the way back from seeing the main house, Ishigakijima Limestone Cave, I only toured the outside. It is not in a limestone cave. First, to enter here, you need to go to the ticket vending machine building and buy a ticket before entering. As you can see on the map, each location is far apart, so it's easier to travel by car. I didn't see anyone on the premises and it felt really creepy. Under such circumstances, it may take some courage to enter a dark limestone cave. Also, there was a path to the left on the way to this limestone cave. Halfway through, we switched to a foothills road, approached the national highway, and could hear the sound of cars. When I looked into it later, I found out that this is the exit of Ryujin Cave. Everyone please take care! I suddenly thought that it would be fun to jointly manage Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave and make it into one big limestone cave park (lol) (Original) クチコミを読んで、怖いもの見たさで!本家、石垣島鍾乳洞を見た帰りに外側だけ見学しました。鍾乳洞には入っていません。 まず、ここに入るにはチケット自販機の建物に行ってチケット買ってから入る必要があります。地図で見ると分かりますが、それぞれ距離が離れていますので、車で移動した方が楽ですね。 敷地内で誰も見かけず、本当に不気味に感じてしまいました。そんな中で、暗い鍾乳洞は入っていくのが勇気がいるかもしれませんね。 あと、ここの鍾乳洞までの道すがらに左に進める道がありました。途中からあぜ道に切り替わり、国道方面に近ずき、車の音も聞こえました。後で調べたら、ここは龍神鍾乳洞の出口らしいです。 みなさんどうぞお気をつけて! せっかくなら石垣島鍾乳洞と共同経営で、一大鍾乳洞パークにすれば楽しいのに~、とか勝手に考えてしまいました(笑)

(Translated by Google) A must-see for enthusiasts! Ishigaki Island's largest limestone cave! If you want to experience Ishigaki Island in its natural state, which is not suitable for casual tourists, click here! The inside of the limestone cave suddenly becomes a natural refrigerator. There was no unnecessary lighting, and in some places the lighting was off. A flashlight is a must! No sandals 🆖 I went with safety shoes and boots. The main one is from the entrance of Yaeyama Limestone Cave. Buy a ticket at the automatic ticket machine and drive a few hundred meters. It takes about 2 hours to tour all the facilities at Yaeyama Limestone Cave. As of May 2023 ¥2,000- Whether you think it's expensive, average, or cheap depends on your sensibilities! This is a facility that was conceived on an extremely large scale within the park. Limestone caves, botanical gardens, zoos. Most of these buildings have fallen into ruins, but I think one way to enjoy them is to get a sense of the scale of the concept and the passage of time in the current ruined facilities. There is a limestone cave that stretches 5,000m from here to Mt. Banna, and a limestone cave that stretches 3,000m from here to the sea, which is a wonderfully romantic sight. Entrance is prohibited, but I wanted to go beyond the ban! There are some places in Yaeyama Limestone Cave where you can be guided by advance reservation (¥5,000/person). Next time I would like to make a reservation in advance! There are three limestone caves on Ishigaki Island. ・Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave ・Sabichi Cave ・Yaeyama Limestone Cave The entrances and locations of Ishigakijima Limestone Cave and Yaeyama Limestone Cave are very confusing, so please check the map carefully. It's right near the Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave, so I often see people saying they came by mistake, but if you want to enjoy nature, this is the place for you! We could also see bats inside the cave. To enter the park, pay at a ticket vending machine. It's unmanned. There are no people in the office. This building also has many vestiges of what it would have been like if it had been managed well. It was said that the fossils on display and for sale (though you can't buy them because it's unmanned) are worth 1 billion yen. 〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※ Access from city center: 10 minutes Parking: Free Toilet: Yes Vending machine: None Restaurant: None (probably not open) 〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※〜※ This is a motorcycle touring guide for Ishigaki Island.
