What to do and see in Ishigaki, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

December 13, 2021 Renato Branum

The water around Ishigaki is pure blue, with white sandy beaches to soothe your senses. But don't just stand on the beach and stare. Travelers recommend a ride in a glass-bottomed boat to gaze at the coral reefs and tropical fish from above.

Kabira Bay

Reviewed By Marine_JapanTour - Osaka, Japan

I feel that I am in a wonder land. I went there twice during my stay in Ishigaki Island. There are many bus routes coming to Kabira bay from Bus Terminal and the schedule is pretty frequent. There are shops, restaurants, view point, rest room and many more. Very convenient and safe place for solo traveler :)

Wow if you want to snorkel this is the place to go, pretty beach, and very clear water, the coral reef is very big and heaps of amazing fish bright blues and colours The beach is made from sand And coral so shoes needed, You pay to park $500 yen There is toliets also a dress water shower for $200 yen You will need snorkeling gear, after reading many reviews we purchased ours for $2700 and it was good. We saw the hire price was around $600 for half day so better value to buy There is s shop here and the lady will hire if weather is ok, or she wants too.. some shady trees if your there early

Kabira Park

Reviewed By lithlith

Kabira Bay park is gorgeous! There several little shops and restaurants, little trails to explore, view points and a glass bottom boat ride that you can take here. Kabira Bay Park is one of the most beautiful, tropical places in Japan to visit. You'll be able to take all sorts of wonderful photos at Kabira Bay with the beautiful blue water as you back drop. We also took a glass bottom boat ride while were here and it was outstanding! The boat was clean and the windows on the boat were also clean to be able to see into the water. We saw all sorts of awesome things - lots of fish, including clown fish, lion fish, sea turtles, a sea snake, eel, and small shark! Maybe it was just our lucky day, but this was the best glass bottom boat ride we've ever had anywhere in the world.

We drove thru the park and stopped at a few of the observation towers to see the great view of the island. We took the Segway tour which was very interesting.

Ishigaki Yaima Village

Reviewed By geelongexpat - Chatan-cho, Japan

Entrance is only 1000 JPY. For that you can see a local cultural show, monkeys and century-old houses. You can also wander around the mangroves. There is a cafe with tasty soba and adequate toilet facilities. Best accessible by car but there is a bus stop nearby.
