What made this a video worth thumbing up is that you gave practical information; I love to use KZfaq to propel me as I put travel itineraries together so to have the names of the locations of the places you film is so valuable. People always have 'FOMO' when they are only in a city or town for a few days, having flashbacks to vlogs or photos they've seen and comparing their immediate environs to that. Around them will be ugly concrete urban life and people enter a mild anxiety wondering where the 'beautiful tropical stuff' is, and importantly HOW TO GET THERE...or even where a trip should be based for the best travel links to the aforementioned gorgeousness. So a vlog like this reassures people that they won't remain in the built up, ugly part of a city or town; here's what's in Ishigaki and here's where it is on a map. For you to share, in economical language, basic travel information and really good practical tips and logistical info etc, is TERRIFIC. Things that you learned the hard way and wish to stress the importance of is also really fascinating and will make your channel unique; only YOU can share these tips, tricks, recommendations and anecdotes because they come from YOUR life, not as part of some flashy, formulaic 'travel vlogger' template. Ishigaki remains on my radar and during this era of restricted travel and abnormal behaviour I will gobble up as many fun and intelligent travel-related videos that I can. Thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

What a beautiful spot! The view is gorgeous and the boat trip sounds fun. Thanks for capturing different aspect of the island. The observation deck is probably my favorite, but I really like the path to the lighthouse as well. I love how you end the day with pineapple smoothie while embracing the sunset. What an amazing end to a relaxing day trip!

I only came to watch this video after accidentally spotted this tiny island near Taiwan that is about to fight with China. Haha. Not a bad island, but I am more interested in cityscapes like Tokyo. Anyway, if you are traveling abroad again, do not forget to bring me along.

You can reserved online with the car rental company. They'll pick you up directly at the airport when you arrive and take you to their office/rental parking lot. Then you finish the paperwork, get the car and off you go!
