Yaeyama Region

The Yaeyama archipelago is located 450 kilometers southeast of mainland Okinawa. With Ishigaki Island as its center, Hateruma Island, Hatoma Island and Yufu Islands, etc. belongs to the southernmost archipelago of Okinawa. In particular, Iriomote Island and Yonaguni Island are world famous. While Iriomote Island is covered by a dense ancient jungle and is home to many rare creatures, Yonaguni Island is famous for its mysterious seabed topography called "underwater ruins". Moreover, several other islands feature traditional Okinawan style homes. These islands have inherited the traditions of the past to the present. In Yaeyama, time passes slowly in its own way unlike mainland Japan and Okinawa.

Ishigaki Island

In the Yaeyama Region, different islands offer different views. On Ishigaki Island, there are lively urban areas such as markets with lines of Yaeyama food stalls, magnificent views of nature including Kabira Bay which has been designated as a best scenery site by the national government, and Tamatorizaki Observatory, with its abundant hibiscus flowers. On Taketomi Island located next to Ishigaki Island, the images of traditional towns comprised of houses with red roof tiles are especially memorable. Time is easily forgotten if you happen to take a leisurely tour of the island by oxcart.
