I’m a native English speaker who’s built my life here, finding both peace and community on this beautiful island, and I want to share that same feeling with you.
What makes my tour different from others? It’s not only customizable and flexible - it’s about the culture, history, wildlife, folklore, and how this island was formed.
Choose the pickup location, the pace, and the places based on exactly what your interests are.
Your time here is short, so I’ll make sure we get the most out of it.
Whether you want to see the famous sights like Kabira Bay or dive deeper into the quieter, hidden corners only locals know about, I’ll tailor the experience to your interests.
As we drive through jungles, coastlines, and quiet local roads, I’ll show you the details most visitors miss — the plants, the birds, the sacred sites, the everyday life of the island.
Come see Ishigaki not just as a visitor, but as someone connected to its story.
