This spot is a beach that is well known and loved by the locals as a "photo spot ". It is a very convenient place to take pictures because of its trust and love, and of course, it is available to tourists as well. The beach is often used as a site for movies, commercials, and other visual media, and the unadulterated purity of the beach is not something you will see very often. It has a secret position and is highly secluded. If anything, it is a spot that is booming in popularity, especially among locals, and there is no impression that it is that crowded or eaten up. It stimulates the viewer's mind with an outstanding sense of openness that allows you to feel the very bare nature as it is.

As mentioned above, this beach is not developed for tourists or planned as a resort. Therefore, to put it in a bad way, there is nothing here, but to put it in a good way, you can view nature with a high degree of purity. Nowadays, there is a tendency for such plans to be promoted because of the desire to enrich the tourist market, but in the midst of this, it is valuable and refreshing to be able to feel the Okinawan sea as it is. There are not that many people, and you can take as many pictures as you want. The white sandy beach and the endless horizon, there is nothing to obstruct the view or the scenery. It is a place where you can take beautiful pictures that can only be taken here. If you are interested in this place, please visit with a camera in hand.

As before, this is another popular beach that combines serenity and glamour. With a distinctive name that is easy to remember, this beach is very well known and is visited by a relatively large number of people. The scenery is very beautiful, with swings and other artificial facilities in place to make the photos more attractive.

This beach is famous for its star-shaped sand, commonly known as star sand. It is also called "star sand beach," and its brand power is unique. It is possible to take a rest in the shade of thick trees, but the white sand beach and blue sea spreading out in front of you is so gorgeous that you can't help but move your body. The star-shaped sand on the beach is very rare, and if you can find it, you will feel as if happiness will come to you. It will be fun to take a picture with it. The sand that you collect cannot be taken home, and the point that it will be sold at the store needs attention, but it is also fun to be able to bring memories home. Swimming is also prohibited, so please feel free to visit the beach and relax in the peacefulness of the sea.

This is a very large wall artwork painted on the wall of a private house where you can actually stay overnight. Recently, the photo taken in front of this wall has become one of the most trendy Instagram spots, and it can be seen in many other prefectures as well, but it is also a must-see in Ishigaki Island. It is a recommended spot if you want to take fashionable photos to become a real Instagrammer.

This wall painting is a spot where one of the largest butterflies in Japan, the giant sargassum butterfly, is depicted. While more easily recognizable and cuddly bird wings are more mainstream, the butterfly is a unique animal that has a mature, mysterious, and dainty atmosphere with an element of darkness. Their black wings also give them a very elegant look, and they can play a role in fashionable model-type photos of women dressed in brand-name clothing, for example. Please visit this slightly different, fashionable, and all-out Instagram-worthy spot.

This is also selected from the wall art of Ishigaki Island. Although we introduce it as an elementary school, the elementary school is not actually a photo spot (please refrain from barging in as children attend the school). The wall on the breakwater next to Yashima Elementary School is a very cute wall art. This is also a great place for those who want to take fashionable photos.

This wall art was actually drawn by elementary school students who attended Yashima Elementary School. The creative and cute illustrations, which do not fit into the framework of children, are somewhat heartwarming and fascinating. Some of the walls are bigger than your height, so you can stand right in front of them and take pictures. It is well worth a visit to see the cute and eye-catching artwork.

Lastly, I would like to introduce you to this place. This is a cute goods workshop where many goods and monuments of Shi-sa, the symbol of Okinawa, are sold, and it is a very popular facility. Shisa goods are a proof of your trip to Okinawa or Ishigaki Island, and you will want to take them home with you, and they will enhance your travel mood even after you go home.

The most popular attraction is the gigantic Shi-sa monument displayed outside the store. The statue is several meters long and is so large that it far exceeds the height of a human being. The colorful and multicolored Shisa is full of fancy and cuteness. The unique atmosphere and power of the statue makes it a great place to take pictures and is sure to make a big impact.
