Things to do
Hirakubozaki Lighthouse
Your travel notes
Head north on Ishigaki for a cape framed by open sea. The white Hirakubozaki Lighthouse makes a scenic destination for an unhurried island drive.
What to look out for
- A white lighthouse against the sea
- Views from the northern peninsula
- A drive separate from town-centre sightseeing
Keep the day manageable
Allow for the return journey rather than adding too many stops. Weather changes visibility and sea colour; enjoy the conditions you find.
Enjoy the lighthouse setting
Do not assume access inside the tower. Follow boundaries and remain clear of exposed coastal edges.
