Things to see and do Ishigaki-Jima

The bay and the marine park are considered the most beautiful places on the island. The bay is also famous for the breeding of pearl oysters. Although swimming is forbidden due to strong currents, glass-bottom boat trips allow you to admire the underwater flora and fauna. Not far away, there is a curious little park, Yoneko-Yaki Pottery, with its giant statues of Shisas, these protective spirits, mixtures of dogs and lions, here diverted from their traditional aspects into funny, smiling and very colorful characters.

The Mont mountain, situated in the middle of the forest trail linking Ono to Nosoko, offers breathtaking views of the Cape de Tamatorizaki.
