The old streets and alleys are still there, but most of the houses have been turned into shops or places to eat. It's a bit of a shame that the original atmosphere is gone.

Uminchu Izakaya Gen Main Branch
If you’re visiting Ishigaki Island, Uminchu Izakaya Gen Main Branch is a must-visit spot. Conveniently located in the center of Ishigaki City, it offers easy access from sightseeing destinations.
The vibe is really nice. As soon as you walk in, it feels lively—exactly like a classic Japanese izakaya.
The staff are pretty friendly, and the food comes out at a reasonable pace. There are lots of options, the seafood is super fresh, and the flavors aren’t too heavy, so everything goes down easy.
Whether it’s grilled items, fried dishes, or bar snacks, it’s great for sharing with a group. It really feels like a fun get-together while you eat and chat.
Overall, it’s an easygoing spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for friends or family. If you want somewhere lively and reliable, I’d definitely recommend this place 👍👍 -
Kamikochi
Kamikochi offers one of Japan's most spectacular mountain sceneries. Its magnificent landscape is designated as a Special Natural Monuments along with Special Places of Scenic Beauty. Walter Weston, a British Anglican missionary praised Kamikochi in his writing “Mountaineering and Exploration in the Japan Alps” in 1896 which made Kamikochi an internationally well-known mountain area.
The stunning mountain views and crystal-clear streams left a deep impression on me. The fresh air and flat trails make this place perfect for people of all ages to enjoy a nature walk or hike.

Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino
Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.
There were so many loud tour groups from mainland China, especially women shouting while shopping like it was a market. The men just gathered together, walking around and smoking.
