Destination

Ishigaki is part of the Yaeyama archipelago, made up of several islands. Visit Iriomote island, a national park, for a tour in this sub-tropical environment. Or visit Taketomi island for a trip that will take you back to the olden days of the Ryukyu kingdom. Anei Tourism offers selection tours for everyone.

The island of Ishigaki is surrounded by the sea and countless possibilities for boat fishing. Whether a half-day fishing trip or something a little more advanced, we'll help you try to find what you are looking for.

Kabira Bay has been awarded a 3 star status in Michelin's "The Green Guide to Japan" and it's well worth taking the time to visit. It's the scenic spot of Ishigaki and only a 35-minute car ride from the hotel. Enjoy a ride on a glass-bottom boat from Kabira Marine Service, or simply go to enjoy the scenery. Our suggestion is to go after 11:00 am in order to avoid the sun's glare on the water.

The Miyara River is bordered by mangroves. You may want to go on a canoe tour to explore this amazing place where the sea meets the river. Come to the Resort Center where we can help you make reservations with one of the local tour agents.

An observatory overlooking the blue sea of Ishigaki. It is better to go in the afternoon on a sunny day when you have the sun behind you to enjoy the breathtaking view.

Uganzaki is on the west side of Ishigaki and is one of the best spots to enjoy a sunset. If you can't be there for a sunset, we recommend you go just to see the sight: cliff hanging over waves! A detour worth the time is you're driving around the island.

Taketomi Island (Taketomi-jima in Japanese) is a 12 minute ferry ride from Ishigaki port. The houses and roads in the village, situated in the middle of the island, remain as they were 100 years ago or more. A cultural trip back in the days of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Resort Center can arrange for a half a day trip there, and you might want to extend it for the whole day! And you can have lunch at one of the several small local (very local !) restaurants.
