A DIFFERENT SIDE OF ISHIGAKI

The Ishigaki you'll never see
in daylight

After sunset, Ishigaki shows a completely different face. Follow your flashlight along forest paths and look for giant coconut crabs and night birds. Look up, and a night sky far from any city lights unfolds above you.

"The quiet sound of waves and a sky packed with stars.
An Ishigaki night you'll remember long after the trip ends."
