The Ultimate Ishigaki Island Travel Guide | Tokyo Weekender

We needed some time out from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, so we took a short flight down to Ishigaki Island (and neighboring Taketomi Island) in search of sun, sand and stunning scenery.

We're firmly of the belief that Japan's Ishigaki Island is the closest we've been to heaven.

Fast forward to:

01:07 Getting there from mainland Japan
01:18 Getting around
