Experience and Impressions ▼

Unfortunately, the weather was unfavorable on the first day, but the mangrove canoeing was enjoyable even in the rain! It was more mysterious and extraordinary!

At night we went to a folk izakaya called Yorodoya. It was a very lively place, and everyone in the restaurant was singing and dancing together!

From the second day, it was sunny and we drove around Ishigaki Island. The best part was paragliding, one of the top three most moving experiences of my life. I will never forget the view.

On the third day, I went to Taketomi Island. Riding on a buffalo and listening to sanshin (Okinawan traditional three-stringed instrument) while strolling through the village is something that can only be experienced here.

Experience and Impressions ▼

Miracle of Iriomote Island, I stepped into the canyoning arena for the first time.

The feelings of a student still resided in my heart, and I was swept away by the hustle and bustle of society, busy with work and the pursuit of deadlines. Many times I wondered if I should abandon my job.

However, the craving to heal our hearts and experience the extraordinary spun a trip to Ishigaki Island with friends. On Ishigaki Island, a pleasant sea breeze enveloped us. We took a walk, harmonized with nature, and had a moment when our souls danced.

On Iriomote Island, canyoning and snorkeling adventures awaited us. In the midst of the extraordinary, we learned the joy of being alive.

Before the trip, the setting sun had robbed me of hope in the busyness of work. But on this trip, the beauty of the setting sun spun another wish for me. I wanted the trip to continue, to feel this moment forever, as if the soul of a poet was speaking to me.

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island alone. The tour guide gave me recommendations for stores, and the rental bike store on Kohama Island was very kind, so I was able to see a lot of things while traveling at my own pace.

The power of Pinaisara Falls in Iriomote Island was breathtaking. I heard that the conditions were the best in the past few days due to the rain on the previous day. I heard that it was a popular tour, so I applied for it. I am very glad that I joined the tour because it was an experience that I could not have done by myself. The guide took a lot of pictures and it was a great memory for me.

On the night tour, we saw coconut crabs and on the way back, they stopped at a starry sky spot. He was a very nice guide who scrambled through the trees, climbed the cliffs, and worked very hard to find the creatures!

I was a little nervous because we had not rented a car, but we were able to get around well because of the tour transportation from the hotel and the remote island terminal.

I will come back to Ishigaki Island again!
