The Ubuful Ishigaki, a private resort on Ishigaki Island where you can stay as if you were living there
Just a 10-minute drive from Ishigaki Airport and 15 minutes from Ishigaki Port, it is conveniently located for sightseeing on the outlying islands. THE UBUFURU ISHIGAKI, located at the boundary between the river and the sea, where mangroves thrive, is a condominium-style resort managed by Plan de See , with all rooms being suites.
Plan de See values the spirit of hospitality it has cultivated through the operation of wedding halls and restaurants, and in recent years has expanded into hotels (PDF hotels) and resort facilities across the country.
With the mission of "Bringing Japanese hospitality to people all over the world," Ubuful Ishigaki has earned high praise for creating spaces that make use of the local culture and nature, and for its memorable service.

Luxurious rooms with spaciousness and functionality
Ubuful Ishigaki All rooms are equipped with a living room, dining room, kitchen, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine with dryer, etc., making this a hotel where you can feel at home, perfect for workcations and long stays.
This time, I stayed in a 1LDK room on the first floor. This suite room features 130m² + a 20m² terrace, and I was surprised by the spacious entrance and the length of the corridor. Both the living room and bedroom have large windows, and the view of the greenery and sea stretches out before me, creating a comfortable and open feeling.
There is a gate on the terrace facing the sea, which leads to the garden on the sea side. From there you can also go directly to the pool, and the layout is very convenient, so we recommend the rooms on the first floor, especially for families with children.
There are also water hoses attached to the terrace and entrance, so you can wash off the sea sand before entering your room, which I felt was one of the clever ways to make your stay feel like you're living there.
There is also a washing machine with a dryer, so you can relax after splashing around in the water. The washing machine also comes with two loads of detergent, which was very helpful.
The large bathroom also has a dryer function, so we were able to dry our marine gear, which was very useful for us.
The double sink bathroom offers both luxury and ease of use.
The fully equipped kitchen, which includes a dishwasher, large refrigerator, and water purifier, is very convenient for long-term stays.
There is a walk-in closet and two other storage spaces, creating an environment where you can live like you're at home.
Another noteworthy feature about the rooms is that they come equipped with a covered parking lot where you can drive your car and park it right next to the room. This is the perfect facility for those who enjoy marine activities that require a lot of luggage.
This room was originally one bedroom of a 2LDK type room that can be locked and used, but if you reserve it as a 2LDK, it will be 165 sq m in size. Although it is a spacious space, the layout allows each guest to maintain their own privacy, making it ideal for groups or families.
A private dining experience
As dusk falls, the lounge serves Orion beer on draft, as well as other alcoholic beverages and light snacks. A drink savored while surrounded by the sea breeze is an aperitif that gracefully marks the start of your trip. Enjoy the luxurious time as you savor the "island evening." Please note that lounge service is available until 6:00 PM, so we recommend checking in early to enjoy the lounge at your leisure.
For dinner, we recommend the BBQ or shabu-shabu served in the in-room dining area. High-quality ingredients such as Ishigaki beef and island vegetables are available, and the meal tastes exceptional when enjoyed on the terrace while feeling the sea breeze. If you make a reservation in advance, the ingredients will be stored in the refrigerator, allowing you to cook and eat at your own convenience. This is convenient for those with small children or those who enjoy long activities, and the freedom of not being tied down to a restaurant allows for private luxury.
A variety of breakfast options and buffet options
The next morning, you can choose from four breakfast options: American breakfast, Ryukyu-style Japanese breakfast set, French toast, or a healthy acai bowl.
The French toast is unique and can be made with the usual cream and seasonal fruit, but it can also be made with fried egg and bacon, making it a recommended dish for those who don't want to eat a lot of sweet things in the morning.
In addition, soup, salad, bread, fruit, and drinks are available to help you at the buffet, creating a healthy and satisfying morning experience.
Pool, Jacuzzi, and gym with ocean views
In the center of the hotel, there is a small pool and jacuzzi overlooking the sea, where you can relax while watching the blue sky reflected on the stone walls during the day and the starry sky at night. Children's swim rings are also available for rent.
The spacious garden next to the pool area is lined with tropical trees that provide pleasant shade. We also recommend relaxing in a hammock.
Above the restaurant opposite the pool is a gym with large windows, offering a luxurious environment where you can train while looking out at the sea.
Sightseeing in the surrounding area and access to remote islands
Ubufuru Ishigaki is also an ideal location as a base for sightseeing on Ishigaki Island.
- Kabira Bay: A scenic spot that represents Ishigaki. The contrast between the clear emerald green water and the white sand is a must-see.
There are two spots near Kabira Bay: Manta Scramble and Manta City. From summer to autumn (mainly July to November), you can see manta rays not only by diving but also by snorkeling. - Tamatorizaki Observatory: Tamatorizaki Observatory is a spectacular spot offering a panoramic view of the sea off Ishigaki Island and the Hirakubo Peninsula, also known as the "Tail of the Shisa." Hibiscus flowers bloom along the promenade all year round, and the contrast between the vibrant flowers and the blue sea creates a tropical, open feeling.
- Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, Kohama Island: Ishigaki Port is about a 15-minute drive away. Day trips to the remote islands are also possible from the remote island terminal. The range of your trip will instantly expand, with activities such as strolling through the red-tiled streets of Taketomi Island, and jungle trekking and mangrove kayaking on Iriomote Island.
