The ferry is convenient and fast, with lovely scenery and a great view of the impressive volcano in the distance.
The facilities on board are well kept, and you can even enjoy some tasty udon.
A pleasant, comfortable ride!

Yakiniku Gyumasa
Yakiniku Gyumasa is conveniently located near Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal, a gateway connecting Ishigaki Island and neighboring islands. The restaurant specializes in Ishigaki Beef, a premium brand of Japanese Black Wagyu raised exclusively in Okinawa’s Yaeyama district, renowned for its lean yet tender texture, subtle sweetness, and rich flavor.
The Ishigaki beef here is amazing—the marbling is perfect, and the meat is so tender it just melts in your mouth. Even the offal, like the small intestines, is super springy. Pairing it with Orion draft beer is spot on. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the stone-grilled crème brûlée for dessert is fantastic. Overall, this is a must-visit yakiniku spot when you're in Ishigaki!

Nemunoki-no-niwa Garden
Nestled in a quiet residential area near the bustling office district of Shinagawa, Nemunoki-no-niwa Garden is a serene public park with imperial ties. It was established in 2004 on the former grounds of the Shoda Residence, the childhood home of Empress Emerita Michiko. The park’s name comes from “Nemunoki no Komoriuta” (Lullaby of the Silk Tree), a song she wrote during her high school years.
It's a quiet place with flowers and plants blooming in every season. Perfect for a relaxing walk. The signature silk tree and Michiko roses add a unique charm!
