We spend a vacation on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa. Okinawa is located in the southern tip of Japan. We also visited the famous Taketomi Island, only 10 minutes by ship from Ishigaki.

Kabira gulf is chosen as one of Japan's 100 great
sceneries. We enjoyed fish watching on a glass boat.

There were lots of tropical fish in the sea.

This traditional Ryukyu townscape is protected by the law.

"Shi-sa" protects the house.

You can chose from walk, bicycle, moped
and water-buffalo to look around in the
small Taketomi island. We chose bicycles.

Cats in Taketomi.

We saw another Moti-like cat in Ishigaki,
