Hello, everyone!
After enjoying activities in Ishigaki Island, many of you might want to relax in a large bath to soothe your body and hair, which might have gotten wet. It's understandable to feel tired after playing in the strong sunlight.
In this article, we will introduce hotels and spas in Ishigaki Island recommended by local staff where you can take a day trip bath.
Characteristics of Onsen in Ishigaki Island
There are only large bathhouses using groundwater in Ishigaki Island, and there are no natural hot springs.
Most of the large bathhouses in Ishigaki Island use artificial hot springs, heating underground water with a boiler, as there are no naturally gushing hot waters and no components such as sulfur and carbon dioxide essential for hot springs.
Unfortunately, Ishigaki Island has few hot spring facilities. This is because in hot Ishigaki Island, there is no habit of "soaking in a bath," and many people seem to finish with a shower.

Art Hotel is the only hotel on Ishigaki Island where you can take a day trip bath. It is located about a 15-minute walk from the remote island terminal and lends towels, so you can stop by empty-handed!
It is said to be very close to a hot spring, and the hot water is extremely soft, using groundwater from Ishigaki Island. Extremely soft water is water that has had impurities removed, making it safe even for babies to drink.

Near Hotel Miyahira, there is a private island called "Kayama Island," so it's a good idea to play on "Kayama Island" during the day and then relax at Hotel Miyahira's large bath!

Summary
We have introduced the large baths in Ishigaki Island. Which large bath caught your interest?
Ishigaki Island has few hot spring facilities. One reason for this is that in the high temperatures of Ishigaki Island, many people do not have the habit of soaking in baths and prefer to use showers.
Even if you are not staying, you can soak at Art Hotel Ishigaki. Although it is not a hot spring, you can experience a spa using minerals from Ishigaki Island that you can't find anywhere else, so I highly recommend it!
A Rental Car is Essential for Going to Hot Springs!
If you suddenly decide, "I want to soak in a hot spring in Ishigaki Island!" or "I want to go see the night view!", you can't go without a rental car.
Ishigaki Island has few public transportation options, and a rental car is essential to avoid wasting travel time. During busy seasons, reservations fill up quickly, so book early!
