Fly to the southernmost edge of Japan – a new all-inclusive package holiday experience on Ishigaki Island

Just a 70-minute flight from Taiwan, Ishigaki Island in Japan can be considered the southernmost city in the country. With stunning, unpolluted scenery — from sweeping blue seas and skies to a wealth of marine activities — and the occasional sight of leisurely cows and elegant egrets, the island even carries the fresh scent of grass in the air. In the minds of the Japanese, this is “Japan’s last holiday paradise”!

Ishigaki Island is 410 kilometers from the Okinawa Islands but only 270 kilometers from Taiwan, and

A 3 to 4-day trip to Ishigaki Island offers the perfect balance of richness and relaxation. Must-visit spots include Kabira Bay, Black Pearl Farm, the limestone cave, Tōchikuji Temple, downtown Ishigaki, Tōnoshōzuka Tomb, and Fukiage Beach. The island exudes an authentic rural charm, especially at the Yaeyama Folk Village, where restored fishing boats, traditional houses, and historical daily-use items recreate the atmosphere of Yaeyama in the year 1900. For cycling enthusiasts, Ishigaki is also an ideal destination for a fun and active bike adventure.

This year, ezfly has specially curated 3-day/2-night and 4-day/3-night Ishigaki Island self-drive tours, allowing Taiwanese travelers to reach Japan’s southernmost point in just 70 minutes — about the same time as a domestic trip. Immerse yourself in the tropical blue hues of Michelin three-star Kabira Bay, take a cattle cart ride across the tidal flats of Iriomote Island to Yubu Island, explore the rugged wilderness of the Yaeyama archipelago, dip your hands in the star sand along the shores of Taketomi Island at sunset, and discover quaint, traditional Japanese villages tucked away along country lanes.
