Wonderful sea in Ishigaki island
Ishigaki island is famous for the highest encounter rate of a manta ray. We are sure if you could meet manta rays you must be impressed and never forget this experience. However, manta rays are not everywhere in the ocean so you can’t meet them certainly. Thank you for your understanding.
