    Banna Park in Ishigaki has several observation decks, including one just for birdwatching. There are also forest trails and more, so it's a great place for families. The super long roller slide is the longest I've ever seen! 👍
    There's also a huge, wide cement slide—definitely the biggest I've come across. The playground equipment here is perfect for all kinds of kids and teens, with things like climbing walls, ropes, balance beams, and even a sand play area. 🤟

    This spot is a safe bet when you're craving eel rice. The eel is grilled nicely—fragrant and not too dry. The portion of rice is just right, and trying the three different ways to eat it is pretty fun. The flavor isn't mind-blowing, but it's steady and really comforting. Feels like a little everyday happiness 🥰

    I'm not kidding, those stairs are insanely steep! Climbing up felt like a whole new life experience.

    The department store isn't huge, but the basement food floor is awesome. There's a whole row of ready-to-eat meals, bento, and desserts—so much to look at! They have everything you need for daily life. Super practical spot!
