Those who stay on Hamashima for a long period of time will be able to see the gradual change in the island's shape. If you are planning to stay for a short period of time, it is best to visit at a time when the difference in tidal levels is different between the first and second visits. You will feel as if you are on a different island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4763\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0233-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"phantom island\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0233-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0233-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0233-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0233.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%83%90%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%A8%E5%B9%BB%E3%81%AE%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AE%E9%81%95%E3%81%84\"><\/span>Difference between Barras Island and Phantom Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">There is Barasu Island, which has a similar characteristic of appearing and disappearing depending on the difference in tidal levels. Such an island is nicknamed \"Miracle Island,\" as if it were a phantom island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6229\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0277-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Barras Island\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The most distinctive feature of Barras Island is that it is formed entirely of coral fragments. Therefore, if you walk barefoot, you may step on a sharp piece of coral and hurt the sole of your foot. On the other hand, Hamashima Island has some coral fragments mixed in, but most of it is sand, and it is very smooth, so there is no risk of injury even if you walk ashore barefoot. This makes it safe for visitors with children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6230\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Barras Island\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0089-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The beautiful, crystal clear waters of Phantom Island are very beautiful, but the pure white beaches are also very attractive.

This means that even those who do not plan to experience marine sports but only to go ashore will get wet from the waist up to their chests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For this reason, we recommend that you wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you are going to get wet anyway, it is more economical to participate in the activity!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">On sunny days, the beach can get very hot. With this in mind, it is a good idea to have sandals or marine shoes available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6PiPi%E3%81%AE%E5%B9%BB%E3%81%AE%E5%B3%B6%E3%83%84%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%81%93%E3%81%A1%E3%82%89\"><\/span>Click here for a list of Ishigaki Island PiPi's Phantom Island Tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3649\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book a snorkel tour of Phantom Island.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3648\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book a snorkel tour of Phantom Island &amp; sightseeing in Taketomi Island.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3647\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book Mangrove SUPor Canoe &amp; Phantom Island Snorkel Tour<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3638\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book Blue Cave Snorkel Tour &amp; Phantom Island Snorkel Tour<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/3646\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book Kabira Bay SUPor Canoe &amp; Phantom Island Snorkel Tour<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%8A%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8A%E3%81%AB\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We have introduced you to the Phantom Island.
