ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort (Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture) will begin selling multi-night stay plans with an Island Hopping Pass (high-speed ferry pass) on May 6, 2021, allowing guests to freely board scheduled sightseeing services connecting the Yaeyama Islands.
The Yaeyama Islands are a group of 12 inhabited and uninhabited islands, large and small, centered around Ishigaki Island. Each unique island preserves its unique nature and culture, including traditional villages showcasing Okinawa's pristine landscapes, untouched jungles home to rare flora and fauna, and jewel-like beaches with sparkling white sand. One of the attractions of a trip to the Yaeyama Islands is the ability to easily enjoy island hopping from one island to another.
This time, ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort has specially prepared an Island Hopping Pass that can be used for two days during your stay, with no limit on the number of times you can board the ship. The routes that can be boarded are Anei Kanko's regular tourist routes (excluding cargo ships) that connect Ishigaki Island, Taketomi Island, Kohama Island, Kuroshima Island, Iriomote Island, Hatoma Island, and Hateruma Island, greatly expanding your travel plans in the Yaeyama Islands, where island hopping is an essential part of the experience.

Anei Kanko, which operates regular ferries in the Yaeyama Islands, normally sells island hopping passes for three to five consecutive days (three that include the Hateruma Island route, and three that do not), but this accommodation plan allows you to freely choose two days during your stay, and we have even specially prepared a free pass that allows you to use all routes, including the highly popular Hateruma Island. Furthermore, you can also reserve the Anei Kanko shuttle bus between the hotel and Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal, which is not normally included as an option, making this a recommended plan that allows you to fully enjoy the Yaeyama Islands, especially since you will be staying for three consecutive nights.
For advice on planning your trip to the Yaeyama Islands, please contact the concierge at the resort center.
At ANA InterContinental Ishigaki Resort, the resort center within the hotel will suggest trips to suit your schedule, including optional tours of Ishigaki Island and other Yaeyama islands, as well as the hotel's restaurants, spa, marine activities, and field activities. Enjoy an island hopping trip around the Yaeyama Islands that you can only experience here and the ultimate in luxury resort life.
