What other travelers are saying about Ishigaki Strawberries Picking
A relaxing slice of paradise. You do need a rental car or own transport as mentioned also the speed limits are low and everyone obeys. Dozens of scenic locations on the coast. Excellent diving.
Southernmost Japanese island next to Taiwan. Difficult to get around without a rental car. Most of the tourists are Japanese, I did not see any foreigners. A small island, shops closed early and people spoke little English.
Looks like a small version of Okinawa big island. So very much developed, too much concrete, and too many tall buildings. Not a tropical paradise I had imagined. If they treated animals kindly, for a Castaway experience with beauty and nature, I would choose Taketomi. The only redeeming features here are the transport hub conveniences, and MOS Burger.
