Ishigaki Island is the main island of the Yaeyama Islands and the region's transportation
hub. Ishigaki City, Japan's southernmost city, is the Yaeyama's only urban
center and is the site of the region's major airport and boat terminal, as well as lots
of hotels, shops, restaurants and bars.
Ishigaki offers several nice beaches and good
snorkeling and diving in the surrounding coral reefs. Snorkeling can be enjoyed
at nearly every beach on the island, while diving is offered through the
numerous dive shops with tours available for all experience levels. If diving,
be sure to check out the island's famed manta rays which congregate in large
numbers around Manta Scramble near Kabira Bay.

Ishigaki's rivers, while not quite as wild as those of
nearby Iriomote, also offer a jungle
like scenery and are nice to explore by kayak. Ishigaki also has the highest
mountain in Okinawa Prefecture, as well as various
hiking trails throughout the island's hilly interior.
