Hello! I am traveling to Japan at the end of August and will be spending a few days in Ishigaki. I am super pumped to go to Japan, but a little unfamilar with what to do in Okinawa. I am asking for recommendations for what to do at Ishigaki.
Our time staying at Ishigaki is short, so we want to make the most of it. I have already booked a day for scuba diving to hopefully see manta rays. I would like to to do one Iriomote tour and another Ishigaki experience.
For Iriomote, it seems the best thing to do would to do a tour group. Some of the best options would be to kayak and hike to a waterfall like Pinaisara Falls or Nara Falls. Which would you recommend out of the two? Or would you recommend something completely different?
For Ishigaki, we are trying to decide between paddleboarding Kabira Bay or doing a booze cruise with snorkeling at Phantom Island. Would you think either of those options are worth it, or are there other places on Ishigaki island to visit. Please share your thoughts! Thank you 🙂
