My family of four joined the tour. We were amazed at how spectacular the ocean and the island of Panari are. Even without snorkeling, the children were delighted to see colorful coral and tropical fish right there, even in waist-deep water. Panari Island is a must visit island when you come to Ishigaki, where you can enjoy both the ocean and walking around the island in a day trip!

I had the opportunity to use this hotel for a company trip. While it seemed difficult to have a good time doing activities because of the relatively high age group of people, there were a good number of people there, so I thought it would be just right for us to wander around the town. Unlike Ishigaki Island, Panari Island has almost no buildings. It was so quiet and comfortable that I thought the island was uninhabited. Even my boss, who usually has a difficult look on his face, was smiling and happy on this occasion. The tour was very easy and satisfying for me as the organizer because of the hotel pick up and drop off service.
