Welcome to Ishigaki!
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 private, flexible, and personal.
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.
Think of this as a homey, one-on-one journey where your curiosity sets the pace.
Ask me anything about the island — from its history and culture to its food and folklore — and I’ll help you leave with a real sense of belonging here.
By the end of our time together, my hope is that when you walk down Ishigaki’s streets or snorkel in its ocean, you’ll see it not just as a visitor, but as someone who has truly felt the heart of the island.
