Ishigaki | Trip plan for large families

For 6 sharing one room on Ishigaki: in town, walkable to the outer-island ferry terminal, or a big room out of town where you get around by car. The boat to Taketomi is ¥9,500 return for 6, and for the Phantom Island you pick the midday or afternoon tour to meet the low tide. Including the fact that the surrounding islands have no fire-service ambulance crews, it is all set out here as stay, transport, things to do and what to know.
