sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ishigaki Island has a subtropical climate, so it is extremely warm, with temperatures averaging around 15 degrees even in winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is also a region that lies along the path of typhoons in early fall, so you need to be mindful of the weather when traveling there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When people think of things to do on Ishigaki Island, many probably think of water sports. It\u2019s true that Ishigaki Island is blessed with beautiful seas and white-sand beaches. You can really experience the feeling of a tropical paradise there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But that's not all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It offers a wide variety of activities, including mangrove forests, limestone caves, and hiking. There are also many historical sites, making it a great place to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">While there are plenty of outdoor activities, you can also experience Ishigaki Island\u2019s culture indoors at places like Mins\u0101.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">There is such a wide variety of activities to enjoy on Ishigaki Island, and one of its defining features is that you can try out many things for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As for what to wear, it depends partly on the specific activity, but if you're mainly playing near the water, I'd recommend clothes that can get wet or a swimsuit; if you're indoors, a T-shirt and shorts should be fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">However, you need to be careful about UV rays. If you go out to play without taking the same UV protection measures you would on the mainland, you might end up getting sunburned and not being able to enjoy yourself, so please be careful.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/6273\/\" 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 for more information about the annual climate of Ishigaki Island.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%B8%E3%81%AE%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BB%E3%82%B9\"><\/span>Access to Ishigaki Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17470 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-320x240.jpg\" alt=\"Ishigaki Airport\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OI004334-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are heading to Ishigaki Island, there are direct flights to Ishigaki Island if you live near Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Chubu Centrair Airport, Kansai International Airport, or Fukuoka Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Haneda\u2192Ishigaki Island (direct flight, approx. 3 hr. 40 min.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Kansai\u2192Ishigaki Island (direct flight, approx. 3 hours)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Nagoya\u2192Ishigaki Island (direct flight, approx. 3 hours)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Fukuoka \u2192 Ishigaki Island (2 hours by direct flight)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%9F%B3%E5%9E%A3%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E3%81%99%E3%81%99%E3%82%81%E7%A9%B4%E5%A0%B4%E8%A6%B3%E5%85%89%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9D%E3%83%83%E3%83%88\"><\/span>Ishigaki Island Recommended Anaerobic Sightseeing Spots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A0%E3%82%B5%E3%83%93%E3%83%81%E9%8D%BE%E4%B9%B3%E6%B4%9E\"><\/span>(1) Sabichi Cave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17469 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-320x240.jpg\" alt=\"Sabichi Cave\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/pipicms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/P7065778-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Sabichi Cave is a limestone cave said to have been formed by tectonic activity approximately 370 million years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is rare in Japan and is known as a \u201climestone cave that opens onto the sea\u201d;
