How to get to and play at Kaladake, a sightseeing spot in Ishigaki Island! Ishigaki Island resident staff will give you a thorough explanation!
Hello everyone!
Did you know that there is a mountain near the airport on Ishigaki Island?
Located just outside of Shin-Ishigaki Airport, Kala-dake is a small 135.9-meter-high mountain that can be easily reached in about 15 minutes.
You can stop by when you have a little time because you can see the planes taking off and the surrounding area from inside the airport.
This article will introduce you to such Mt. Calatrava, which is easily accessible from the airport.
Kala-dake is a small mountain with full grassland located near Shin-Ishigaki Airport. Since it is located near the airport, you can see the whole view of the airport and airplanes flying over from the top of the mountain. Beyond the airport is Shiraho Beach, famous for its blue coral, and the surrounding ocean. The contrast between the natural beach and the man-made airport is spectacular. The wind blowing from the ocean seems to hit Mt. Kaladake and create an updraft, making it the perfect point for a paragliding experience.

Directions to Mt.
Kala-dake is a mountain located right next to Shin-Ishigaki Airport. It can be visually confirmed due to its proximity to the airport.
From New Ishigaki Airport, head north on Route 390 and turn right on the gravel road. Follow the gravel road for about 5 minutes and you will see an old hut on your left. Park your car at the end of the road and climb the mountain.
The base of the mountain is overgrown with vegetation, but the area near the hut is covered with short grass, so it is best to climb up the mountain through this area. The summit is only about 135.9 m above sea level, so it takes about 15 minutes to reach the top. By all means.trekkingLet's do it!
More information about Mt.
Kala-dake is a 135.9m-high mountain located near Shin-Ishigaki Airport. It is a mountain with grassland all over, but unusually there are no trees.
It is popular for its ease of access to the summit, which can be reached in 15 minutes. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the sight of airplanes arriving and departing and the sparkling clear ocean. The absence of any trees allows for views in all directions. On the other hand, you will be exposed to direct sunlight, so be sure to take precautions against sunburn and heat stroke.
The view of Shiraho Beach and the surrounding area over the airport is so beautiful that it is the best spot to take pictures. On the other hand, you can see Mt. Kala from the observatory from the airport. Kaladake is also a spot where you can enjoy paragliding because the wind from the sea generates updrafts, so if you have time, you may enjoy it.
How to play Mt. Calatrava
Mt. Cala is famous as a point where paragliding can be enjoyed because the wind from the sea tends to create updrafts. However, many visitors come here for the purpose of taking pictures. It offers a panoramic view of the airport, so you can enjoy the spectacle of airplanes taking off and landing. The sea and the lush green mountains are also photogenic, so you can enjoy the contrast with the airport. The grass is thick like a jungle, so be sure to wear a hat, long sleeves, and long pants to protect against hubbies and insects, and avoid exposure as much as possible.
