Five recommended sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island in April

In April on Ishigaki Island, the ocean has already opened, activities are in full swing, and the weather approaches that of summer on the mainland.

 

At the end of April, as we approach Golden Week, the number of tourists is very high.

 

Checking out the sights and tours in advance will help you get around more efficiently!

 

Tourist Spots in April on Ishigaki Island (1) Banna Park

The first spot I would like to introduce is "Bangna Park"!

 

Banna Park is the largest park in the prefecture located in the northern part of Ishigaki Island. It is close to the city center, so it is easy to visit.

 

However, because it is a very large forest park, it is necessary to drive around most of the park.

The park is very popular with families because of the abundance of observation decks.

 

With its promenade and benches, the park is also used as a walking course for elderly people, and is loved by men and women of all ages.

 

Tourist Spots in Ishigaki Island in April (2) Arakawa Falls

Arakawa Falls is the only waterfall on Ishigaki Island. The two waterfalls, one upstream and one downstream, together are called Arakawa Falls.

 

Marine activities are popular during this season after the opening of the sea.

 

Because Yonehara Beach and Blue Cave are located near Hondaki Falls, people often play in the waterfall basin to drain the tide.

 

Also located 30 minutes away by trekking, the upper stream is home to the natural treasure, the scarlet cherry tree, which blooms around February.

 

It is also a good place to see winter cherry blossoms, which bloom earliest in Japan.

 

Tourist Spots in Ishigaki Island in April (3) Hirakubozaki

The next spot we will introduce is "Japanese harbor porcelain (Phyllostachys nigra var. japonica)".

 

Hirasaki Kubozaki is the northernmost area of Ishigaki Island, and the view of the ocean from the lighthouse is spectacular.

 

The clear water sparkling in the sunlight is very beautiful.

On the opposite side of the ocean is a pasture for grazing black cattle, which is an impressive gap from the ocean.

 

Why don't you have a moving experience at Hirakubozaki, which is just full of spectacular scenery?

 

Tourist Spots in April in Ishigaki Island (4) Kabira Bay Observatory

The next spot we will introduce is "Kabira Observatory".

 

Kabira Observatory is an observatory with a red-tiled roof overlooking the beautiful sea of Kabira Bay.

 

There is a well-maintained walking trail, but care should be taken as there are many stairs.

The view of the ocean from the Kabira Bay area is of course beautiful, but the difference is obvious when seen from the observatory.

 

It is recommended to enjoy the view from the observatory as the hue of Kabira Bay changes depending on the angle of the light.

 

Pipi also offers SUP and canoe tours in Kabira Bay, so please check them out as well.

The last spot I would like to introduce you to is "Tamatorizaki Observatory".

 

Tamatorizaki Observatory is located east of the airport and is famous as one of the best sunset spots in Ishigaki Island.

 

From the vantage point, you can see the beautiful expanse of the ocean and the Hirakubo Peninsula, which is known as the tail of Shisa.
