| Summary | Last travel of this year, I planed to visit to the Ogasawara Islands. It was necessary for us to take a PCR test on the day before departure. So I needed to stay one night in Tokyo or Kawasaki. Though I tried to book a package tour, there was no open accommodation in the island. Giving up the Ogasawara Islands, chosing the Isigaki Island instead. One day diving and two days island hopping around the island. |
||
| Itinerary | There was no need to plan a tour except chosing a flight and a hotel, as
a packege tour. I chose the ANA as the flight for mileage and flight schedule and the Vessel Hotel . First day go diving, second day and third day went around the Kohama, Iriomore, Kuro and Taketomi Island from the Ishigake Ferry Terminal. |

| Before Departure |
There were some news of spreading infection around one week before departure. It was no matter to go, because I go alone and do not business dinner and Karaoke. I saw many groups around tour attendants and many groups with buses. |

| Ishigaki Island |
After diving, I went to the limestone cave in the Ishigaki island. It was drizzling, but it wasn't problem as indoors. However I had checked the bus schedule in advance, there were few buses. So I took a rental bicycle by the hotel. It takes about 15 minutes by bicycle or about one hour on foot. |

|
| First day in the Yaeyama Islands |
I planed routh schedule, according to the ferry timetable and the weather. It was able to change the schedule, depending on the situation and circumstance. At first, the Kohama Island. Heading to the observatory, I found the Canaan Resort. There were just two dozen people in the big boat bound for the Kohama Island. So many group people with suitcaces on the way back from the Kohama Island. After that, it was rainnig during the mangrove cruise at the Nakama River in the Iriomote Island. |

|
| Second day in the Yaeyama Islands |
Last day in the Yaeyama Islands, heading to the Kuro Island and the Taketomi Island. There are a few boat boud for the Kuro Island. So I chose to go the island in the morning. The Taketomi Island in the afternoon. I rent a bicycle in the Kuro Island, since the island is big and flat. I walked around in the Taketomi Island in the afternoon. The Kaiji Beach, Kondoi Beach, West Pier and the village. I was so lucky since sunlight came when I was in the beach. |
Rough sea |
There were around ten Japan Coast Guard ships in the Ishigaki Port for three days in a row. It seemed due to roough sea. Shelves of supermarkets and convenience stores were empty. |
