The waters around Ishigaki are so incredibly clear that it feels kind of unreal. When you arrive by plane, you can actually see the coral reef right below you, even from high up. There are a lot of beaches and a great underwater world to discover and I suppose one could easily spend a week here without getting bored—provided that you like a quiet escape surrounded by crystal clear waters and white beaches!

This really makes me miss Okinawa. Wow... that snake picture is an awesome find! How long does it take to get there from Naha?
Thank you Victoria! We took the plane from Tokyo, with a stop in Naha, I think it was about 1 hour from Naha to Ishigaki.
Yes, a really unspoiled spot, although the whole island is really unspoiled I think. Glad you like it!
