Google Pixel7
From this time on, I am shooting with a used Google Pixel 7 that I bought at GEO. The price was about 50,000 yen. As you can see in the articles on other sites, Pixel was strong in taking pictures in dark places. Especially the starry sky shooting mode could capture more stars than one could see, and I felt the performance was amazing. The only disappointment was the lack of many accessories such as covers.
Chubu International Airport
You can go directly to the airport from the station. 3F is the boarding gate and 4F is a Japanese style restaurant area. There were a lot of people here during the Bon vacation period.
If you go to the right in this picture, you can go to Terminal 1.
You can also go to the observation deck from the 4th floor. It is located on the far side of this picture. It was hot because there was nothing to block the direct sunlight, but it was a nice way to pass the time, overlooking the runway.

This time I was able to pull out a window seat. It was a clear day, so the view was great. It was especially interesting to see the coastline clearly.
On the way, it passes near the main island of Okinawa and Miyako Island, so that visitors can see those islands.
Ishigaki airport
We arrived at Ishigaki Airport at about 3:40 p.m. as scheduled. From there, we first took a bus to the remote island terminal in the city center. Buses depart every 30 minutes at 3:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. The fare to the remote island terminal is 540 yen. If you plan to return to the airport by bus from the remote island terminal, it is recommended to purchase a round-trip ticket from the airport to the remote island terminal for 1,000 yen. The 1-day free pass (1000 yen) and 5-day free pass (2000 yen), which allow unlimited rides for 24 hours after purchase, are also available at the bus terminal counter.
※The buses between the airport and the remote island terminal are the most frequent, with one every 30 minutes. There are also a fair number of buses to Kabira Bay, but not many, so if you want to get around the island freely, we recommend renting a car or a motorcycle.
※It is impossible to get to Kabira Bay from the city center by renting a bike due to the distance.
Guest House kariyushi ishigaki island
Basic Information
2,500 yen per night with no meal. (One person per room).
Refrigerator, toilet, and shower are shared. (There seems to be no washing machine.)
There is a convenience store about 5 minutes away on foot.
Air conditioning is 100 yen per hour.
There is no procedure when checking out.
The key can only be locked from the inside, and you will be unprotected when you go out.
Impression
Good point
- One room is quite spacious.
- Convenience store is close by.
Bad point
- Air conditioner is expensive at 100 yen per hour.
- No screens on the windows
- Not well ventilated
- Noise from outside is bothersome because it faces the street.
- Shower and toilet are in the same room, so you can't go to the toilet when other people are showering.
The 100 yen per hour air conditioner was especially hard on me. It is very hot at night, and air conditioning is necessary to sleep, but it costs a certain amount of money to turn it on. In that case, I would have been better off paying another 1,000 or 2,000 yen and staying at a nicer place.
Ishigaki sakai store
Famous local milk? Dairy products? A famous local dairy store.
I bought a Genki Shake (390 yen) that was recommended. It was thick and very tasty. Inside the store, there were goods, snacks, and drinks. There is a terrace outside where you can take a break.
Ishigaki beef burger specialty restaurant HEART LAND Misaki-cho
It is located near the Euglena Mall. I ordered the BLT burger (1,250 yen). The patty and bacon are thick and filling. It also comes with fries.
An extra
There were many local items that I had never seen in donkey shops or supermarkets. I especially enjoyed the red potato tart ice cream and the seekwasser potato chips.
