Minivan

For family and group trips, the minivan is the top pick. Its roomy cabin seats up to eight adults, with luggage space to spare even after lining up your suitcases. It’s the ideal vehicle for three-generation family travel, group trips with friends, and family stays on Ishigaki with children. From ¥9,000 a day — around ¥1,500 per person when split among the group — the value is outstanding.

Dual sliding doors make getting little ones in and out easy, and the triple-zone air conditioning that reaches the back seats keeps everyone comfortable even on hot tropical days. From the sweeping island views at Banna Park’s observatory to the sunset at Uganzaki Lighthouse and the glass-boat dock at Kabira Bay, the whole family travels without fatigue. Child seats are available to rent (optional), so traveling with infants is worry-free.

The ride stays comfortable even over longer distances, so you can stay active all day — from Hirakubozaki Lighthouse in the north to shopping runs between the Island Terminal and downtown. Pickup at Ishigaki Airport and in Ishigaki city, with free airport transfer. Staff meet you in time with your arriving flight, so even larger groups can get moving smoothly.
