The 14 best shows in Ishigaki

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.

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.

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 !

One place allowing w different type of visit: version 1 you come to discover the architecture of Okinawa and see many type of houses Version Version 2 you come to have fun at the monkey park. It’s small but cool experience for kids and adult

Paradise for animal lovers 😍 This is where you can find the unique local species - squirrel monkey 🐵 Be prepared to get up and close with these cute monkeys! There are also exhibition on the indigenous people's way of life.

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!

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.

Beautiful place to watch the sunset! The resort played music in the background and had a bubble blowing machine, making the vibe very romantic. Looks like a perfect place for a proposal.

Fusaki beach is a private beach of Fusaki Resort. Although it’s a private beach, it’s open for public use. It’s said to be one of the best sunset viewing spot in ishigaki.

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...

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.

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.

A very beautiful country park. There’re many good photo taking spots. It also has a huge playground for children.

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.

Good place. Can drive to each sightseeing point with Park.

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

Beautiful park. Large area. You can see a great view of Ishigaki from this park. Greenish area. Best for nature lovers like me. There is a roof, you can take rest there and enjoy the beautiful view while taking rest. Free parking available.

Lovely park. You can go here for a walk, a run, to walk your dog or play with your kids. There’s quite few people so you can relax at your own pace

Nice place once we found it, with good views. Towards dusk we saw several ryuku flying foxes (quite closely) for some good pictures, plus a large stick insect.

Beautiful view at the northernmost point of the island. Very easy walking path from the parking area, which also has vending machines and toilets. The drive to the point was very scenic and beautiful as well!

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!!

The end of the island with a great view across the seas and some beaches. Worth the drive. It has parking and there is a little shop selling ice and drinks.

Nice view of the lighthouse. The day was a little windy. Not enough parking area

This area is located in the north of the island and takes about an hour to drive to. If you have the time, it's definitely worth a visit during your trip. The scenery and attractions make it a lovely spot to explore!

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.

It's a pretty view but probably not worth driving all the way up to see. If you're doing a driving tour of the whole island definitely stop by.

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. Its tranquility and spectacular views make it a perfect spot for photography and relaxation, suitable for all ages and travel styles.

This was a beautiful sight seeing spot and if you're going north on the island I'd really recommend stopping and enjoying the view.

This well-known lookout is designed to attract tourists, but it looks a little faded. It's a great place for beginners to get a general view of the island and offers an overview of the area, although it does feel a little neglected.

This beautiful place has a wonderful view, ample parking, new restrooms, and a place to sit and watch the beautiful Ishigaki.

Cute little viewpoint to stop by if you are traveling north of Ishigaki island. Plenty of parking is available.

Incredible view of Iriomote and the surrounding sea. It’s surrounded by cliffs and rough waters so be careful on a windy day, and hold on to your hats.

Very beautiful views scenery around the lighthouse.

Beautiful view. A few locals were fishing by the cliff. Plenty of parking as well!

Probably gorgeous too under the sunlight, but going there during a storm adds an "end of the world" aspect to it, which is breathtaking.

what a beautiful view! I really love this kind of place. Have a big parking lot to park your vehicle and also a free public toilet. Quiet place you can relaxing… I recommend this place.i hope it can be helpful!

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.

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.

It is small but nice, with vivid colors. They are building new, bigger building next to it. The surrounding area is also nice, with view of the sea.

Not too many people know about this piece of history. It was refreshing to see this and learn about it. Glad I stopped by here. I'm going to tell more people about this so hopefully it never gets forgotten and more people will stop by here when they visit Ishigaki.

2023.1 OMG this place was under reconstruction.. So I could not get in the place But you can see from the front

Nice place with view of the sea

Was nice at night. We even saw flying squirrels!

This place is about the story it is just the one tomb, with a second being built.

A very peaceful and simple temple just a few minutes walking from the city centre. It was built in the 17th century.

A 400 year old temple, a short walk from the port and bus terminal.

Nothing special for this small temple.

Beautiful place.

Peace

(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. (Original) 日本最南端のお寺。 沖縄風の赤いレンガ屋根と、南国の木々が青空に映える。 あまり商売の気配はなく、これでいいと思う。 中国風の名前も尚氏王朝らしくていい。

(Translated by Google) We left the Art Hotel around 9:00 AM. It was a 15-minute walk away. (Free parking is available across the street.) The area wasn't cleaned yet. We took some photos and admired the historical and cultural buildings. (Original) 一早9點多從Art 飯店出發 走路🚶‍➡️15分鐘內就可抵達 (對面設有無料的停車空間) 環境還未打掃🧹乾淨 拍拍照📷，看看歷史文化建物

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. The items are labelled in Japanese but there are English language guides on stands around the room. It is well air-conditioned. Worth a visit to learn about the indigenous culture of the islands.

Small but you can find a lot of Yaeyama Ishigaki story. You can apply for a discount if you have student card. Monday is closed. Price is 200 yen.

The exhibit consist of only one room. Unfortunately, there are no English explanations. There are no indications but chronologically it runs counterclockwise.

Interesting little museum, really cheap, perfect for a rainy day (1h maximum)

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. Can skip it unless you have time to kill.

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.

Amazing food court in Ishigaki, you can try different snacks and dishes from different kiosks here. There are public toilets. Please clean up the table after your meal.

Ishigaki City Public Market is located in Yugurena Mall in the downtown area of Ishigaki-jima(Ishigaki Island). You can buy here all kinds of local goods, island produce, souvenirs & tasty treats at an affordable price. It offers a vibrant shopping experience

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.

(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. (Original) 2024年2月15日、午前中参拝 石垣島の桃林寺の隣にある神社 桃林寺が観光名所で有名やけどこちらも併せて参拝 当日は境内に人もおらず静かに参拝できやしたよ 立派な石垣に鳥居ではなく赤い門、本殿も沖縄らしい建物 こちらは沖縄最古の木造建築物で重要文化財やそうさあ

(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。

(Translated by Google) Yaeyama Gongendo Yaeyama Gongendo 28 Ishigaki, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture It is said to be the oldest Buddhist temple in Yaeyama It was destroyed by the Great Meiwa Tsunami in 1771, but was rebuilt in 1786 (Tenmei 6) It is designated as an important cultural property of Japan I felt it was more like a sacred shrine than a Buddhist temple Visited on May 27, 2025 (Original) 八重山権現堂 やえやまごんげんんどう 沖縄県石垣市石垣２８ 八重山最古の 仏教寺院とされています 1771年の明和の大津波で 一度潰滅しましたが 1786年（天明6年）に再建 国の重要文化財に 指定されています 小生は仏教寺院と いうより御嶽と 感じられました 2025年5月27日　参詣

(Translated by Google) I happened to pass by and was able to pay a visit. Although it is a shrine layout, it is a Ryukyu style building. It is said to be the first temple and shrine building in Yaeyama, enshrining Kumano Gongen, which was built by King Shonei at the suggestion of the Satsuma clan. Although it has since been rebuilt and renovated, it has been designated as a nationally important cultural property. (Original) 偶然通りかかり、参拝できました。神社の配置だけれど、琉球風の建物。 薩摩藩が進言して尚寧王が建てた熊野権現をまつる、八重山最初の寺社建築だそうです。その後再建、修築されていますが、国重要文化財に指定されています。

(Translated by Google) Gongendo Hall next to Torinji Temple. The elephant decoration next to the temple is unique. Let's visit Torinji Temple together. The parking lot for Torinji Temple is across the road. (Original) 桃林寺横の権現堂。お堂横の象の装飾が独特です。 桃林寺ろ合わせて参拝しましょう。 駐車場は桃林寺の駐車場が道向こうにあります。

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.

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!

The cave is a fascinating place to visit. It was amazing and incredible to see what nature can create. They maintained the cave really well and it was easy to walk around. Definitely worth visiting.

Surprisingly there is a 500m+ walking path through this cave system. It's even got a photo shoot section to have your picture professionally taken. There's also another section with coloured lights which is really quite beautiful

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🙂

It was fun & an exciting experience to see & visit the Stalactite Cave! It was awesome! I love it

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.

This park is free to enter and is full of all sorts of beautiful painted rocks and sculptures made of painted rocks. Our tour bus stopped here so that we could take photos and check out the exhibits. It was 100% free to enter. There was also a gift shop here which sold ice cream!

Very interesting art exhibition. The artist is so creative and I love the art pieces. Free entrance and free parking. Highly recommended.

This is one unique place you must go if you go to Ishigakishima. It’s free as well

Really enjoyed this extremely quirky place. So quirky that I think a tourist minivan did a drive around rather than walk. I loved the colours and diverse nature. Well worth a visit, especially as there is ample parking and no charge.

This place is very close to bus stop.There is an amazing collection of statues.great work by the artist.entrance free.there is have a gift shop you can buy Shisa statues.

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.

We went in and went straight out again. It was very dark and a little bit scary. We were the only two people there.

(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. (Original) 最初に一言！小さいお子様がいたら行かない方がいい危ない！入り口真っ暗！道案内無し！迷いそう！途中も暗い！分かれ道多数案内無し！出口で雨の日は濡れます引き返しをすすめます。最初に書けよ！やっと出口と思ったら引き返せ！やば過ぎだろ！出口もジャングルでどこに行ったらいいかわからない！全てが無人で！怪我をしたい人はおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Overall it's ok, just to kill time. The stalactite cave inside the cave is not very big and can be walked through in about 30 minutes. It can be regarded as a place to kill time! (Original) 整體是還可以，打發時間而已，洞裡面的鐘乳石洞沒有很大，約30分鐘就可以走完，算是打發時間的地方！

(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.

(Original) マニア必見！石垣島最大の鍾乳洞！ ラフな観光客にはNGな、自然そのままの石垣島を体験談したいのならこちら！ 鍾乳洞の中は急にヒヤリとして自然の冷蔵庫。余計な脚色したような照明もなく、所々では照明も玉切れ。懐中電灯は必項です！ サンダルはダメ🆖僕は安全靴ブーツで行きました。 メインは八重山鍾乳洞の入口から。 自動発券機にてチケットを買い車で数百メートル。八重山鍾乳洞の施設全部を回って所要時間2時間ほどになります。 2023年5月現在￥2,000- 高いと思うか普通と思うか安いと思うかは、あなたの感性次第！ 園内、とてつもなく大きなスケールで構想されていた施設です。鍾乳洞、植物園、動物園。このほとんどが廃虚化していましたが、構想の大きさと現在の廃墟化した施設の時代の流れを感じることも一つの楽しみ方ではないかと思います。 ここからバンナ岳まで5000mの鍾乳洞が続いており、ここから海まで3000mの鍾乳洞が続いているなんて素晴らしいロマンです。進入禁止となっていますが、進入禁止の先を行きたかった！ 八重山鍾乳洞の一部の鍾乳洞にて事前予約で(￥5,000/1人)案内してもらえる場所があります。次回は事前予約で行きたいです！ 石垣島に3つの鍾乳洞があります。 ・石垣島鍾乳洞 ・サビチ洞 ・八重山鍾乳洞 石垣島鍾乳洞と八重山鍾乳洞の入口と位置関係、とてもまぎらわしいのでMAPにてしっかり確認ください。石垣島鍾乳洞のすぐ近くにあるので「間違えて来た」との書き込みをよく目にしますが、自然を楽しみたいのであれぱこちらです！洞窟内ではコウモリも見ることができました。 入園には券売機でお金を払います。無人です。 事務所にも人は居ません。この建物にも、うまく経営されていたなら…という名残がたくさん。化石の展示や販売(無人なので買えませんが)されているものは、10億円相当になると書かれていました。 ～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※ 市街地からのアクセス:10分 駐車場:無料 トイレ:あり 自販機:なし 飲食店:無し(おそらくやっていない) ～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※～※ 石垣島のバイクツーリングガイドです。 五感で感じる石垣島 「どこにいったらいい？」を解消！ ナビに頼らず僕に付いてきてください。スムーズなルート案内で時間のロス無く石垣島を網羅することができます。 詳しくはGoogleMAPで「島ツーリング石垣島」を検索してショップHPをご覧ください。 Instagramもやってます。ショップHPよりリンクしています。気に入っていただけたらフォローお願いします！
