Approach Ishigaki with your eyes closed and you could easily believe you’ve been transported to the Caribbean.
Your guide to Ishigaki.

Japan’s southernmost city is the definition of paradise: pure white beaches, intense turquoise sea and verdant emerald vegetation as far as the eye can see. It’s a sight straight out of Robinson Crusoe; only with the addition of purple ice cream to cool you off. But, make no mistake, Ishigaki isn’t just for sun seekers. The island is rich with Samurai and Ryukyu Kingdom history, while adventurous visitors can kayak through mangrove-lined rivers, hike palm-laden forest and dive among manta rays in colourful coral reefs.

Okinawa is the largest of the Ryukyu Islands in the Pacific Ocean and the homeland of the martial art of Karate. Meanwhile, the underground Navy headquarters have some incredible war stories to share.
Almost entirely destroyed in 1945, during one of the most extreme battles of World War Two, the island has rebuilt and renovated itself, managing to retain much of its rich cultural history.
