Ishigaki Spa Resort

Ishigaki Spa Resort is located in Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, the administrative center of the Yaeyama Islands — Japan's southernmost inhabited island group, whose latitude places them closer to Taiwan than to Tokyo and whose coral reef ecosystem includes some of the most biodiverse and pristine marine environments in the entire Pacific Ocean, designated as part of the Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park. The siliceous thermal waters here complement an island city that serves as the gateway to Iriomote Island — Japan's last great wilderness, covered in subtropical jungle, mangrove forests, and home to the endangered Iriomote wildcat — and the extraordinary snorkeling and diving of the Yaeyama coral reef system, one of the world's most ecologically significant marine environments. Bathing at Ishigaki Spa Resort provides restorative mineral spring wellness at Japan's subtropical frontier, where the therapeutic siliceous waters complement the island's extraordinary marine and jungle biodiversity in one of Japan's most biologically and geographically distinctive island group destinations.
