Take a flight from major airports in Japanese main Islands to Ishigaki Airport via Naha (a direct flight to Ishigaki is available from Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka (Kansai) and Fukuoka).  
     From Ishigaki Airport, take a taxi or a route bus to Ishigaki Port (rito-sanbashi) (fare being 200 yen by bus and 700~800 yen by taxi).  When arriving at Ishigaki by a sea route, it takes about 15 minutes from the ferry terminal to the rito-sanbashi by walk.  
     From the rito-sanbashi, take a rapid boat of An-ei Kanko or Yaeyama Kanko Ferry, bound for Uehara Port.  Take care not to take a boat bound for Ohara Port.  The fare of the rapid boat is, one-way 2,000 yen, round trip 3,800 yen, half price for children.  Even though a sail bound for Uehara is canceled due to a bad weather condition, in some cases you can get to our hotel through Ohara (when the Ohara route is available).
