Veterinarian Hideto Urasaki
Suguto Urasaki is a veterinarian who primarily treats cattle. He and his wife, who is also a veterinarian, run Urasaki Farm Care Support and travel all over the island's ranches. He is one of only a few veterinarians on the island who can perform egg collection from cows.
The river is cool and refreshing, and they occasionally stop by when they're passing through the area. "When you come in the morning, the early morning air surrounded by greenery feels great." In the summer, they even swim in the river and play. Coming from town, take the road to the right just before the Omoto Tunnel. Go down the slope to the right again, and you'll arrive at the river.

It's an exceptionally beautiful, quiet, and uncrowded favorite beach. Apparently, it's a place filled with memories of camping there with family and cousins when he was a child. After passing the village of Kujira, you can see a road on the left that branches off from the main road and leads to the sea.
At low tide, you can walk through the gaps in the rocks to the beach in the back right.

Maesedake, where the Ishigaki Island Astronomical Observatory is located. "It's great to be able to see the town of Ishigaki from a high vantage point. You hardly ever see anyone, and it's quiet, so I recommend it." Be careful, as the single road on Maesedake is one-way. If you go up the slope to the left just before the observatory sign, you will find a gazebo.
Approximately 25 minutes by car
A cafe located on Ginza Street in Euglena Mall. A favorite spot where I occasionally come for meals, both day and night. "All the dishes are delicious, but the taco rice is particularly elaborate, and the sauce is especially tasty."

In a corner of Sakihara Park in Ohama stands a massive rock, washed ashore by two tsunamis. Its estimated weight is said to be between 700 and 1000 tons. "When I actually bring friends from mainland Japan here, they're all very interested because it's something you don't often see on the mainland. If you look closely, you can see lots of shell fossils."
