A forest park with views from several observation decks.
The prefectural forest park is located on 230m high Mt. Banna in the center of Ishigaki Island. There are exotic tropical trees, a plaza where children can play freely in the great outdoors, and the best ocean view of Ishigaki Island can be seen from the observatory. There are many butterflies and plants that can only be seen in Yaeyama, making it a paradise for nature lovers.
The park is divided into five zones, each with its own purpose and theme, such as the "Forest Stroll" zone where visitors can bird-watch, and the "Fureai Kodomo Hiroba (Adventure Playground)" zone where there are many attractions and playground equipment for children and adults to play together.
Each of the numerous observatories has its own theme, offering panoramic views of the Yaeyama islands, as well as opportunities to observe migratory birds and waterfowl. The park also has the "Insect Museum," "Butterfly Garden," and "Segway Tours," and is attracting attention as a park where visitors can play all day long.
There are many observation points besides the observatory.

Banna Park is such a great place to bring family and friends! There's a super long slide—really one of the longest I've seen—and a huge, wide concrete slide that's just wild. The playground has something for all ages: climbing, ropes, balance beams, sand play, and more. Plus, the observation deck has an absolutely stunning view!!!!!!!!! Loved it.
At BANNA Forest Park, you can see all kinds of plants, and the observation deck gives you a panoramic view of Ishigaki City. You can also see Nagura Bay and Taketomi Island from here—the scenery is fantastic!
