What is a Ryokan? Ryokans are the best way to experience Japanese culture and enjoy the true comforts of Japanese hospitality and service.
Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 "onsen" ,or hot springs, in Japan. Many can be found at the ryokans available on Japanese Guest Houses.
Ishigaki is a Japanese tropical island in Okinawa Prefecture. There are many secret beaches on Ishigaki. The population of about 50,000 is concentrated in the town of Ishigaki. If you're looking for a beach holiday in Japan then there are many option, if any locations, which can rival the beautiful coastlines which surround Ishigaki and its neighbouring islands in the Yaeyama archipelago. Another part of the island’s appeal is the friendliness of the locals. Ishigaki-jima also possesses an attractive, low-lying geography that invites long drives and day hikes.
