Awesome guide. My family went for the second time this year. First time was mainly up north in Ibaruma and second was a mix of in the city, Taketomi and up north. The northern part of the island is one of the darkest skies you'll find on earth. Making the night sky totally unreal. Highly recommend it for star watchers or to show your kids. Mangroves and a little monkey park to the north west are great for kids as well. Kayaking in the mangrove forest is easy and really cool. The snorkeling here is amazing...it's totally worth investing in a good mask and snorkel before you go...you'll want to spend hours in the water.
I went here during rainy season this past june and despite my poor timing, I absolutely love the islands. I was able to explore Ishigaki and iriomote a bit and it was wonderful... I can only imagine how great it would be with good weather!
Such a lovely video and guide. I'm tempted to go for the 1/2 marathon that follows the beach line. What do you think the temperatures and weather would be like in mid January?? It would be fun to travel from wintery Tokyo to sub-tropical Okinawa...
thanks for this guide. Love it! I only have July available to fly down, but I remember some friends of mine had a horrible trip because they went in July and it was a typhoon. Would you totally recommend not to go in July? not worth it? Too high percent chance of horrible weather?
Hello. I watched the video and everything about it was really great! I do wedding photography on Ishigaki Island for foreigners, and I thought it would be very helpful to get a sense of what Ishigaki Island is like. I would like to put a link to this video on my website. Is it possible? Thank you.

It’s pretty special with the sun out! ☀️
I was also going to go in June but it was raining everyday so I cancelled. But it gives me an excuse to go back to Japan
despite the weather, it was still a great trip. One advantage to going in rainy season that is it wasn't busy at all! @@Rondo455
So much good information and nice footage packed in this video ❤
Glad you liked it! ❤️
Oh no we booked for may… now I’m scared 🙈 I thought rainy season starts in June.. so said it google 😅 I hope the best for our honeymoon 🤞
Thanks for this. I'm planning to go there in early March to avoid the tourist hustle bustle and rainy season.
We hope you love it!
Great guide, wants me want to go there again! 😍
We can’t wait to get back there! ❤

Did you get any guidance? I also want to go in July and I’m worried if we would be stuck for 3 days in the hotel
Paradise Cafe on Taketomi Island has been permanently closed since April 2024.
