【石垣島観光】ここが日本?!石垣島のグルメと観光をめぐるドライブ旅が最高すぎた!石垣島旅行vlog
Hello, this is bien. I’m going on a trip to Ishigaki Island. Ishigaki Island is a very popular remote island located about 400km southwest of Okinawa Island, in the southernmost area of Japan . The size of the island is the third largest in Okinawa Prefecture, after Okinawa Island and Iriomote Island. In April 2025, the number of tourists exceeded 130,000. By the way, the population is just under 50,000. From Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal, you can access popular remote islands such as Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island, so many people enjoy touring the remote islands from Ishigaki Island. Not only are the blue sea and natural scenery spectacular, but the food is also delicious. My trip to Ishigaki Island after the rainy season was really great. Please watch until the end. Good evening, I’m at Nippori Station now. This time, I’m flying from Narita Airport instead of Haneda Airport. I’m heading to Ishigaki Island. It’s tiring to go from Tokyo to Narita Airport first thing in the morning, so I went to Narita Station the night before and stayed at a hotel near the airport. It takes more than three hours to get to Ishigaki Island, so I ‘ll eat breakfast at the airport before heading out. This time I’m going with Peach . The rainy season ended quite early in Okinawa this year, and it seems to be completely sunny this week. It took more than three hours to get from Narita Airport to Ishigaki Island, but I slept a little, so we arrived in no time. There is an incredibly beautiful view spread out before me. By the way, I wasn’t sitting by the window on the way there, so this is a video of the plane on the way back. The sea view is so beautiful that it’s hard to believe it’s in the same Japan. I’ve arrived at Ishigaki Island. This is my third time here. The last two times I went were in April and October, but June is by far the busiest. The air is different, it’s slippery. I’ll take a commemorative photo and go to rent a car. I’ve arrived at Ishigaki Island for the first time in a year and two months. It’s now the fourth week of June and the rainy season is said to be over, but the moment I arrived , I unexpectedly encountered a sudden downpour. I think you can hear the sound, but the amount of precipitation is incredible! It’s clear in the distance so it will probably clear up while we’re eating, so our first stop is Gourmet. Ishigaki Island has a town (downtown?) near the remote island terminal, where there are a row of restaurants and souvenir shops and it is quite prosperous. Our first stop is Euglena Mall in the town. After driving for a while, the atmosphere becomes very Ishigaki Island- like. We ‘ve almost arrived. This area is so prosperous that it’s hard to believe we’re on a remote island. New buildings are also increasing rapidly. We have now reached the area around our destination. This street is extremely prosperous so if you’re traveling to Ishigaki Island I recommend staying at a hotel around here. We can see Euglena Mall. For now this parking lot is fine, but it’s expensive so it’s always empty ! I’m glad the rain has stopped. If you go straight in, you’ll find it. I’ve arrived at my destination. I’ve arrived at Ishigaki City’s Ishigaki City Public Market. The first floor here is like a food court, and you can enjoy the gourmet food of various shops. And on the second floor there is a souvenir shop. This place sells a lot of souvenirs like this. I was given permission to go to the second floor, so I’ll introduce it quickly. Then I’ll have the long-awaited lunch time. It looks like I can eat freshly fried ones, so I’ll enjoy the specialty first . Can I have one with 6 pieces? I bought a bag of salted sata andagi . It’s 6 pieces for 600 yen. It looks really delicious. What’s the difference between salted and plain? They say they knead Ishigaki salt into the dough (it’s really good). In fact, it’s so delicious that I come here every time lol. So I’m going to try it . It’s delicious, even if you know it’s delicious! I ordered the spicy mixed soba and juicy set. The simple Yaeyama soba is also delicious, but this time I’ll have the mixed soba. In addition to cash, I can pay with PayPay or a transportation IC. You can use credit cards. Wait for about 1 minute (lol). Looks delicious. The gloss of the juicy is very shiny. I ended up coming here again this year. The one on the right is juicy, the one on the left is “spicy soba” and there are only three salted sata andagi . I ‘ll start my trip to Ishigaki Island by eating here. Normally, if it was my third time, I would look for another restaurant, but I keep coming back to this market with its mysterious charm. I’ll start with the juicy. I’ve been hooked on juicy since my first trip to Okinawa. Next is the spicy mazesoba. However, if you’re coming for the first time, I recommend the simple Yaeyama soba (the broth is really delicious). It’s a delicious and spicy mazesoba that even people who don’t like spicy food can enjoy. The juicy disappeared in an instant. The andagi after the juicy and mazesoba was also great. I recommend the salted andagi and spicy mazesoba (there are other shops as well). I feel like there are more people here than last time (it seems to be more in July to September). Today, I had gourmet time at two stores in a row. And the sunlight is already completely different from before . Look, the blue sky . The sudden downpour from earlier is now so clear it’s hard to believe. Finally, this is my third trip to Ishigaki Island and the first time I’ve had clear skies. I decided to go for gourmet food and then gourmet food , and this is the restaurant I went to, Vanilla Deli. I’ll have a hamburger with an amazing avocado and wasabi sauce. You can pay by cash or other means. And finally, it ‘s the avocado and wasabi burger. Last time, I ate it on the last day, but this time I’ll be eating it from the first day. This patty is grilled after the order is placed, so you can enjoy freshly grilled meat. The wasabi sauce from the avocado is really the best. This is the A set, so it comes with a hamburger, fries, salad, and juice . Wow, it’s piping hot! I can’t tell you the smell, but it smells really good. Wow, it’s delicious. This wasabi sauce is really good. It was so good I forgot to eat the salad It was so good I had the avocado wasabi burger for the first time in a while and it was the best! Wow, it was delicious I ate a lot as soon as I got to Ishigaki Island I ate juicy and spicy mazesoba, andagi , and avocado wasabi burger and my stomach is happy The weather is really good Last time I was on Okinawa main island in January in Miyakojima and February in Okinawa main island It was cold, right? It was quite cold I couldn’t experience the tropical feeling then, but this time I finally came here after the rainy season, so it’s super hot My camera is about to break It ‘s too hot during the day and I can’t walk for long periods of time A parasol, hat and sunglasses are essential I’m going to have a Genki Shake here for dessert time after dinner It’s here again this year I’m going to buy a T-shirt this year too ! There’s white one White is good too Colored ones I thought it was good, but a color that doesn’t look hot would be good Ah, it’s hard to decide It’s only blue, there are 3 types! It’s a difficult choice, I drank Genki Shake every day on my last trip to Ishigaki Island, and this time I’m also buying a T-shirt. It’s my first Genki Shake in 1 year and 2 months, you should drink it every day when you come to Ishigaki Island lol it’s delicious, really delicious.This is the plain flavor of Genki Shake, but they also have a yogurt version of this Genki Shake.Next time I’ll go to another Genki Shake store nearby and buy the yogurt flavor there.How do I put this place? I’ve arrived at Genki Milk! I prefer the plain flavor of Genki Shake, but my partner prefers the yogurt flavor, so we came to this store.If you want to compare the plain and yogurt flavors of Genki Shake, you need to buy them at each store (you can’t buy two at one place…). In addition to shakes, they also sell puddings and gelato (rusks? They also have bread).Payment is cash only.After enjoying the gourmet food and sweets, we went back to the parking lot for now.It looks delicious.This restaurant was delicious.I ate it in Miyakojima and it was delicious, so I recommend it.It’s really dangerous even for men without a parasol.We took refuge in Euglena Mall for a while, and headed from the shade to the parking lot.Then , we headed to a scenic spot.We’re off.Enjoying the beautiful scenery of Ishigaki Island, we head to our next destination.If you go right here, you’ll find Banna Park with several observation decks and the view from here is also amazing.When you get to this area, you’ll see that there are no convenience stores, so I should have bought some water in the city earlier.Wow ! The tide is going out and it’s amazing.I didn’t know it could go out like this.I parked a little on the way! It’s around 2pm, but the view is amazing! Ah, it’s amazing , it really is different when it’s sunny. I’ve been here in October and April, and this time it’s June . June is definitely the best . Today, I think the sunset is over there. Maybe the direction from which you can see the sunset is this way. The sunset also looks nice. Please subscribe to my channel and rate it highly, along with the beautiful scenery of Ishigaki Island today. It’s a feeling you can’t understand unless you actually come and feel the wind on your skin. What is this, this lukewarm wind, or rather, it feels fluffy (I’m too human, so I can’t really explain it…) I had fun in January and February on Okinawa Island and Miyakojima, but it’s definitely better to come in the hot season because the scenery is simply better and it’s more fun. I have 4km left until my next destination. The ocean in the distance is so blue to the naked eye , but it’s incredibly beautiful. The road is like this and is generally very wide, so it’s very easy to drive. If you go in this direction, you’ll reach Okanzaki. If you climb 600m from here, you’ll find the lighthouse. The view beyond the lighthouse is spectacular . It’s a sunny day today, so I thought the view would be amazing, and then I arrived at Okanzaki Lighthouse. You can see a beautiful view from this lighthouse, which is located on a cliff. The lighthouse is at the end of the cliff, but the view is already amazing at this point. Look, this view of the ocean. Let’s buy some water before we go. Drink water frequently , or you’ll collapse. This is Okinawa- only, so Gentle soft water, amazing water, delicious sky , blue , a lonely lighthouse in the completely blue sky, way back here , you climb up one flight of stairs and go through the grass , a slightly narrow path, what’s amazing at the end of the grass , wow, on a clear day, it’s so bright, so it’s better to wear polarised sunglasses, the view looks better with sunglasses, they reduce reflections, it’s amazing, the unique terrain, this place is amazing but what’s even more amazing from here onwards the road gets a bit rough (watch out for the thorny leaves), this side too , it’s amazing it’s best to see it with your naked eyes, this is what 360 degrees looks like, I bought a new camera so it’s fun to take pictures, I remember this place, this narrow path , oh, the grass has really grown so far, I guess I can’t go, ouch! It’s terrible, it’s worse than last year, the leaves have grown longer than last year and are prickly so it hurts when they hit your arms, we got through the really prickly leaf zone and arrived at a spot with a great view, it might be dangerous if you’re not wearing long sleeves and long pants, sturdy clothes, but somehow it’s worse than the last time I came here The wind is not strong (calm). Amazing . When you think of Ishigaki Island, many people think of beaches, but there are also some spectacular spots like this (and surprisingly, there are a lot of mountains/jungles) . There is no wind at all this time . I wonder if it’s because the rainy season is over, or maybe the wind is weak. I want to come here about twice a year. The sunset here looks good. It looks really beautiful today, maybe around 8pm (late). I can’t stay too long. It’s a bit hot . Let’s take shelter in the car before we get heatstroke. How many minutes were we here? Maybe about 20 minutes . It was only about 20 minutes, but we finished drinking water. 500mm wasn’t enough. It would have been better to have 2L or 3L. Ishigaki Island is the best. Thank you, Okanzaki. Next is Fruit Land? Ishigaki Fruit Land. At Ishigaki Island Fruit Land near the lighthouse mentioned earlier, we had cut fruit and mango gelato. First of all, pineapple . Pineapple is delicious. What is this? ? Star Fruit Personally, I thought the pineapple was the most delicious. By the way, the gelato and fruit content change depending on the season. There are 6 types of mango gelato, and I chose apple mango and Kinki mango gelato. The apple mango gelato was sweet and delicious, so I recommend it. Ah, it was delicious . It’s really hot outside, but the sea in the back is really beautiful (I want to take my time to look at it). Ishigaki Fruit Land. Next, we’ll go to a very popular spot on Ishigaki Island. It’s just the right time . This is amazing. That back left, back left, really light blue . 4km left until our next destination . Everything on Ishigaki Island is close, so it’s really easy to go sightseeing, which is great. Ishigaki Island is a slightly small remote island that can be driven from one end to the other in about an hour and a half (but it’s not small lol). Depending on the area you go to , you can enjoy a variety of scenery. Next, we arrived at Kabira Bay. Parking lot . I wonder if it’s empty. It’s 3:30pm now . I wonder if it’s empty at 3:30pm (there don’t seem to be any group tours). The parking lot here doesn’t accept cash, so you can use transportation IC cards, PayPay, or credit cards. It’s unusual, isn’t it? On the other hand, it doesn’t accept cash. I ‘m here again this year. Kabira Bay has been awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide and is one of the most spectacular spots on Ishigaki Island. This nostalgic feeling . It’s been a year since I’ve seen Kabira Park. It’s pretty hot, so I’ll start sightseeing from the observation deck, which has a lot of shade . I’ll buy some water again. I have to drink a bottle of water every time I go around a tourist spot, otherwise I’ll get dehydrated . 120 yen. They’re very reasonable. It’s so blue. It’s so blue (my second time). Every time I’ve come to Kabira Bay , it’s cloudy or rainy, so this time might be the first time in my life that I’m seeing Kabira Bay in its true form . This feeling of being able to see through the gaps is amazing. It
‘s so blue, it’s like CG. Maybe it’s just the right time for the tide. The tide is coming in. The observation deck has a roof and is in the shade, so you can cool off and enjoy the spectacular view. Wow, it feels like a tropical paradise. By the way, I’ll be back later. I learned that the water looks much more beautiful when the tide is coming in than when it is going out.It’s completely different when you go into the shade.As soon as you go down the stairs you’re in the sun.The perceived temperature probably changes by about 10 degrees.It ‘s an amazing location.The white sand and blue sea are like a picture.It’s so bright you can’t see without sunglasses lol.I wonder if the glass-bottom boat is open until around 5pm.It’s surprisingly hot, but I also recommend walking on the beach.Really good.Really cold.No , not at all.The cold bath is colder.It was really lukewarm.Just getting your feet wet makes a difference.I wonder if there’s a night pool or something.Glass -bottom boats also depart from Kabira Bay.The price seems to have increased from April 2025.1700 yen per adult, 800 yen per child (all companies have roughly the same price range) .Operates from 9am to 5pm (the time when the tide is coming in is beautiful) .Hot! My ears are hot too . It’s dangerous to stay in the sun for too long. By the way, this is a great place to take commemorative photos. It looks great. There are some great photo spots. I love Ishigaki Island. There’s also a salted sata andagi restaurant here, where we had lunch. Thank you. Kabira Bay . Next, we head to a tourist spot unique to Ishigaki Island . Then , we can see the parking lot. Apparently high tide is at 7pm today. It’s now 4:30pm. There’s only two and a half hours until high tide, so I’m not sure if I can walk, but I’ll take a look anyway. We’ve reached Nagura Amparu. This is a brackish water area where the sea and river water mix, and you can see all kinds of creatures. It’s a little close to high tide, so I’m not sure what to expect, but I’ll go anyway. It ‘s so hot, so I’ll wrap a towel around my hat and go fully protected. Oh, it’s nice. I’m scared that snakes might show up in this humid shade . I might have said the same thing last year. The last time I came here, it was low tide… I wonder if it was low tide . The tide had already gone out quite a bit. The tide had gone out further, so I was able to go under the bridge from here, but this time it was two hours before high tide, so as you can see, What is it like? Can I go? Look, this view,
this driftwood is also nice. It looks like I’ve been washed up on a desert island . The sea is sparkling. Wow, I wonder what today’s sunset will be like. The hat + towel is really nice but I think they sell hats that are like this from the start, you should buy one from Amazon or somewhere . It’s seriously completely different . The sunlight is so strong that it looks like I’ll get a real burn rather than just a slight tan . Amazing view . It’s full from here onwards . This is not at the level where you can go on a SUP or something. I found sandal marks! It looks like this, the view is amazing , it’s really big, there was a hermit crab in there, it’s warm, but
it gets deeper from here , which is scary, it might be dangerous on the way back, it’s already up to my knees so it’s really warm, it’s like a bath, it’s not cold at all, I wonder what temperature it is, it feels like it’s about 36-37 degrees, there are so many huge hermit crabs, wow, tons of fungus , wow, there are so many scary things on the surface of the water, thinking about the way back, I think I’ll stop for a bit, actually I’m going to Iriomote Island tomorrow so I guess I’ll give up, there were so many strange bugs on the surface of the water (I lost my will to fight…lol), I was like, oh no , but the atmosphere is the best, I’m just sitting in a place like this, watching the sunrise or sunset , it would taste delicious to eat rice balls in a place like this, I went to the bottom of the waterfall and climbed up to the top. I think the next video will be out in 3-4 days, so please take this opportunity to subscribe to the channel and watch the video on Iriomote Island. Once I got back, it was easy to go back. I finally made it back to the bridge. This place is so deep that if I can get over here , I can walk there , but there’s not much width, so I guess I have to come at low tide . But the scenery is amazing . From the first day of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I was able to enjoy both gourmet food and sightseeing with a whirlwind schedule. It ‘s a bit too hot and I’m worried I’ll get heatstroke, so I’ll check into the hotel, take a shower, rest, and then have dinner. It’s a twin room. It’s pretty reasonable. It was less than 30,000 yen for two people for three nights (Mr.KINJO GRAND CATS) . I found a very reasonable place (Mr.KINJO GRAND CATS) Well , you can faintly see the Southern Gate Bridge and the ocean. It ‘s close to the city center and the remote island terminal, so it’s quite easy to get to. It’s really beautiful. I think it was recently built. This time I’m staying in this room for all three nights. I basically only spend time in the hotel to take a bath and sleep, so this is the perfect hotel. It also has a freezer and refrigerator, which is great . There’s even a microwave ! It’s really good, it’s a firm , just right bed. I’m feeling all tired. It may have been a surprisingly hard day. Today was fun, though. And, by the way, my backpack has changed. In fact, it has been changed to a new backpack. It has become a very large-capacity backpack. This time, I was given a job by Tomtoc. This time, I was thinking about getting a new backpack, so I accepted this job . This product is the Tomtoc-T66 travel backpack. It is sure to be very useful when traveling or on a business trip. It has a large capacity and is easy to put in and take out. This time, I was traveling to Ishigaki Island, so I brought swimsuits and equipment for activities, so I ended up using a carry-on case + backpack, but if you have minimal luggage such as clothes, a computer, and cosmetics, it is a large-capacity backpack that has more space. It looks quite large, but it is the size that can be carried on an airplane. The zipper part is a YKK zipper that is easy to open. It’s easy to close and there’s no need to worry about it breaking. The fabric is also water repellent. It’s really good without any consideration. What’s good about it is the simple size, but the part that splits vertically can hold a computer. You can put your computer in and close it over here. It can be opened sideways, so it’s great for taking things out or taking them out when you’re traveling. I’ve been using this backpack a lot while sightseeing, so I’ve been putting a shoulder bag inside it (large capacity). If you’re traveling with equipment or have a lot of luggage, you’ll probably end up traveling with a suitcase in addition to this, but this is attached here. You stick it in your suitcase and place it on top of the suitcase. You have to think about which direction to put your luggage in when you’re traveling, but it’s easy to take things in and out, or rather , it’s good that it’s wide and can be taken in and out. You can store umbrellas and plastic bottles on the side. It ‘s very easy to use. If you’re traveling alone or on a trip of 2-3 days, this is enough. It’s also thick when used as a backpack , so it doesn’t put much strain on your back. It’s quite I think it’s still quite easy to walk even with the weight on it. It looks pretty big. If you’re thinking about buying a new backpack, please check out the URL in the description. I’ve arrived. Tonight’s restaurant is here. I made a reservation (the restaurant’s name is Kappo Sanzushi). I was able to enter the restaurant smoothly (the restaurant’s name is Kappo Sanzushi). It’s been a while since I ‘ve been to a sushi restaurant so I’m excited. I’m wondering what to eat. There are also many other dishes on the menu that interest me other than sushi . The shekwasha juice and appetizer arrived. Cheers for now. Whether you were working today or not, today has ended safely. Good job. I heard the name of the shellfish but I forgot . It’s hot. I might get burned if I eat it all in one bite. Looks delicious. This is a special nigiri set . It’s a blissful moment . Sushi is great after all. I’m going to splurge from the first day of my trip to Ishigaki Island. And my single sushi arrived. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten it so I ordered egg and dried gourd rolls as well. They have a platter and it was great that you can order each piece individually. Looks delicious. Ishigaki beef sushi. Tonight I luxuriously enjoyed some meat sushi. Next was the Okinawa specialty, fried gurkun. It was very delicious! Unlike fried small fish, it was more like grilled fish where you only eat the flesh rather than eating the whole thing and enjoying the crispy texture. Next, I had shiitake mushrooms. It was delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve had sweet potato and lotus root tempura, and it really touched my heart. Shrimp tempura is the best. Sushi is really good, it’s delicious . Before I knew it, the sun had set and I wanted to see the sunset, but it was already setting. I want to see a really beautiful sunset while I’m on Ishigaki Island. And it’s still pretty late, it’s 8pm. I’m going to take a stroll around the town at night . I’m going to stroll around near the remote island terminal. This area is crowded with people until late at night. It is often fully booked due to temporary closures or reservations, so I think it’s better to make a reservation in advance at the first store and look for the second store while walking around. It’s completely different at night. My second Genki Shake of the day. I’m drinking two shakes in one day. Of course I’ll drink one tomorrow too . It’s nice that they’re open until 9pm, and then I’ll have some gelato. When you come to Ishigaki Island, you are seriously brainwashed by Genki. I was surprised by all these things. Are you awake? There are cats all over the placeToday , I was able to enjoy sightseeing and gourmet food to the fullest until the evening, which was greatTomorrow I plan to use up a lot of energy, so I’m going to go to Iriomote Island for the first time in my lifeTomorrow I’m going to climb to a mysterious waterfall that you can only get to if you’re accompanied by a licensed tour guideThere ‘s a 30-minute canoe ride and an hour of trekking (you’ll regret it if you underestimate it lol) It’s a battle with myselfWill I be able to get there safely?
