You get some nice views and great photos from the Tamatorizki Observatory. There is a short up hill walk to shaded pavilion where you can relax or take photos of the beautiful blue water and lush green scenery of Ishigaki. There are a few short winding trails as well to walk and you'll see various flowers and plants. There is a small bathroom located at the parking lot area. You don't need long at this stop, maybe 15-20 minutes total for a bathroom break and to take some photos

This is a lovely spot with gorgeous views. The plants and butterflies just add to the ambiance. I loved being able to see the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. We even saw lizards. Worth the drive and walk

Only a short walk from a small parking lot is where you'll find the most incredible view of the coastline of Ishigaki. We visited on our honeymoon, and I'm glad we came here the first day after arriving on Ishigaki. That means that we got to see the island from above before going to explore it - I recommend doing that :D

Must visit location. The views with the small hut, lazy seats to sit and just enjoy the beauty of ocean, all small things make this place the best to visit in all seasons.

Great views over the sea and a coffee shop makes this a good stopping place. Easy to find of the coast road
