The river is cool and refreshing, and he sometimes stops by when he's passing by. "When I come here in the morning, the early morning air surrounded by greenery feels great." In the summer, he even swims in the river. Coming from the city, turn right on the road just before the Omoto Tunnel. Turn right again and go down the hill to reach the river.

It's a favorite beach that's incredibly beautiful, quiet, and not very crowded. It's a place filled with memories of camping here with family and cousins as a child. After passing the village of Hisajira, on the left, you'll see a road that leads from the main road to the sea.
At low tide, you can walk through the rocks to the beach at the back right.

Maese-dake, where Ishigakijima Astronomical Observatory is located. "It's great to be able to see the town of Ishigaki from up high. You hardly ever meet anyone, so it's quiet and recommended." Please note that the road to Maese-dake is one-way. If you turn left just before the observatory sign and go up the hill, you will find a gazebo.

This cafe is located on Euglena Mall Ginza Street. It's a favorite place where I sometimes come for lunch or dinner. "All the dishes are delicious, but the taco rice is also elaborately made, and the sauce is especially delicious."

Located in a corner of Sakihara Park in Ohama is a massive stone that was washed up from the sea by two tsunamis. Its estimated weight is between 700 and 1,000 tons. "When I actually brought my friends from the mainland here, they all looked at it with great interest because it's something that's hard to find on the mainland. If you look closely, you can see lots of shell fossils."
