You can make a circuit of Ishigaki Island for about 2 hours if you hurry. A short stay is also enjoyable. Kabira Bay, located at the northwest corner of the island, is a little far (about 40 minutes from the airport). However, you can enjoy seeing Yaeyama-yashi and Mt. Omoto, the highest mountain in Okinawa prefecture on your drive. An emerald green view spreads out when you enter the beach at Kabira Bay after parking your car in the parking lot.
