Overview

Experience Ishigaki Through Storytelling, Culture & Nature (Private Tour*)

I’m a native English speaker who’s created a home here on Ishigaki.

My tours focus on helping you truly understand the island — its culture, plant life, wildlife, geology, and the stories that connect them all.

My strength is clear, engaging storytelling that brings each place to life. You won’t just see Ishigaki — you’ll learn the meaning behind what you’re seeing.

While I provide a sample itinerary, every tour is fully customized to your interests starting with the pickup location of your choosing: famous sights, hidden local spots, sacred places, or nature-focused routes.

Your time here is limited, so I’ll make sure every stop feels meaningful, informative, and personal.

*This tour is private unless otherwise specified or agreed upon as semi-private.
