Throwback to day 14

Yesterday was all about the journey to Miyazaki. We had a great local breakfast in Ishigaki, hopped on a plane, and took a taxi straight to our new accomodation.

Looking forward to a quiet evening after a successful day of traveling.

Looking back at our last day in Ishigaki. Snorkeling the Blue Cave was incredible... We saw two species of clownfish and so many other tropical fish in the reef 🪸
After taking in the views from a high point on the island in the afternoon, we went out with a guide to see hundreds of fireflies in the forest. A long but rewarding day.

Finally caught up on some sleep before heading to Taketomi Island!
Cycled through the sandy streets of this traditional paradise, then headed back to Ishigaki for some local food and a late-night arcade session.

Scenes from Ishigaki

Here’s a little visual essay: our first day ever in Ishigaki, Japan — a sleepy island compared to places like Okinawa or Tokyo … but, even on a rainy day, full of charm.

Since late last year, some Japanese officials have been discreetly urging fishermen around the Senkaku Islands — known as the Diaoyu in China — to steer clear of them to avoid escalating a diplomatic clash with Beijing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/03/japan/china-senkaku-fishermen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #senkakus #disputedislands #chinajapanrelations #okinawa #ishigaki #japancoastguard #eastchinasea
Fearing clash with China, Japan asks fishermen to avoid flash point islands

The requests signal an abrupt shift after years in which Tokyo tacitly accepted such trips.

Japan’s defense minister, visiting a military base close to Taiwan, said plans to deploy missiles to the post were on track as tensions smolder between Tokyo and Beijing over the East Asian island. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/23/japan/japan-deploying-missiles-to-island-near-taiwan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #yonaguni #ishigaki #miyako #okinawa #taiwan #china #usmilitary #shinjirokoizumi #sanaetakaichi #sdf
Japan on track to deploy missiles to island near Taiwan, Koizumi says

Japan is planning to station medium-range surface-to-air missiles on Yonaguni, about 110 kilometers east of Taiwan, as part of a broader military build-up.
