Kabira Bay, Coastal attraction in Ishigaki, Japan

The north coast of Ishigaki Island features white sand beaches and clear blue waters, surrounded by nine small uninhabited islands and dense vegetation.

The Kabira Kannon Temple, constructed in the 17th century near the bay, marked a central port connecting to the Okinawa main island.

American anthropologists conducted research studies of the traditional customs and daily life of Kabira Village inhabitants between 1950 and 1952.

Glass-bottom boat tours operate from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with tickets available for 1000 yen at shops near the main parking area.

The bay serves as one of only two locations in Japan where black pearl cultivation takes place, alongside neighboring Iriomote Island.
