Yaima Village is a captivating historical park that brings the traditional culture and lifestyle of the Yaeyama Islands to life. Step inside and it feels as if you’ve time-traveled into Ishigaki’s past—wandering through beautifully preserved old-style houses with iconic red-tiled roofs and intricate Okinawan architecture. Along the way, you’ll encounter playful squirrel monkeys, majestic water buffalo, and even the rare crested serpent eagle. This is a place where history, nature, and everyday island life intertwine, offering not just sights to see but moments to feel deeply connected to Ishigaki’s heart.

Its rugged beauty captures the island’s essence—vivid colors, dramatic coastlines, and the meeting point of land, sea, and sky.

Kabira Bay is one of Ishigaki’s most celebrated sights, awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan for its pristine beauty. The bay’s calm turquoise waters, dotted with small emerald-green islands, create a serene and almost meditative atmosphere. Overlooking it is Kabira Kannon Temple, a quiet presence where nature and people exist in gentle harmony. The sea’s colors shift with the tides and sunlight, offering an ever-changing natural canvas. A ride on a glass-bottom boat reveals vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, and—if you’re fortunate—you might encounter a graceful sea turtle gliding through the water. It’s a place that invites you to recognize the beauty in your own stillness, breathe deeply, and feel the quiet grace shared between you and Ishigaki.

You might spot small tropical fish near the coral patches or at the quiet water’s edge, or simply sit back and take in the breathtaking view where turquoise sea, white sand, lush green hills, and endless sky meet. Surrounded by the richness of nature, it’s the perfect place to recharge, and let the island’s beauty soak in.
