Yaeyama Islands
Quickly by high-speed ferry
Enjoy a quick and convenient trip to the islands of the Yaeyama Islands by using the high-speed ferry! Choose your desired destination from Taketomi, Kohama, Kuroshima, Iriomote (Ohara, Uehara), and Hatoma Island, make a reservation, and then pick up your actual ticket at the ticket counter in the Ishigaki Port Terminal on the day of boarding. You must complete boarding 25 minutes before the departure time of your desired flight, so we recommend arriving with plenty of time to spare.
Then, let’s go on a trip to the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa, where abundant nature and blue seas come together!
