It is not an exaggeration to say that this beach is the best in Okinawa Prefecture in terms of consideration and care for visitors.
Specifically, the beach is paved with slopes so that children and the elderly, whose legs and backs have become painful, can move smoothly and stress-free.
There are also numerous bench spots with shades on the beach, so if you get tired, you can rest in the shade right away.
Many people play in the water or spend time relaxing on the beach, but all of them need to take a break, so it is nice to have an environment where they can spend time relaxing in this way.
There are many beaches that leave the natural scenery untouched and relatively free, but the good sense of caring here will soothe the weary tourist all the way.

This beach is well known as one of the largest coral reef viewing spots in Japan. Many people go out of their way to visit this spot, and it is especially crowded during the summer months.

As mentioned earlier in terms of holding festivals, this is a lively spot that symbolizes the summer heat that is typical of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa.
The setting sun at dusk is also a highlight, giving the impression of fun and vivaciousness during the daytime, but also a slightly lingering, somber atmosphere at the end of the day.

The biggest attraction here is the natural arch that was created by the hardening and erosion of coral reefs. It is like an exciting tunnel connecting the beach and the seashore, and is very photogenic.
The sea seen through the large hole has a unique expression and creates a somewhat magical atmosphere.
The sandy beach, with its ups and downs, is dynamic and even somewhat adventurous with the natural formations of the arches.
It is also a beach that thrills visitors and has a rare presence in Ishigaki Island. Please come and visit.
