Filmed on March 11, 2025, this video takes place during a pleasant 24°C (75°F) afternoon, providing the perfect conditions for sightseeing. The tour starts with a serene view from the Southern Gate Bridge, offering a panoramic introduction to the urban heart of Ishigaki.

The tour then concludes near the Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal, a hub for travelers heading to surrounding remote islands, and the Yoko Gushiken Monument, commemorating the legendary Okinawan boxer. Whether you're planning a future trip or simply savoring the sights and sounds of Okinawa from home, this tour offers a vivid snapshot of island life on Ishigaki.
