Since welcoming our first guests, families and friends from around the world have chosen this villa rental for their Ishigaki holiday. Here’s what a few of them had to say about their stay.
Magical place for a large group of friends to stay. Super convenient to the beach and a special home where we could all spread out but ultimately get together. Host is amazing and even booked our airport taxis! Can’t recommend it enough!
Would only stay here. Amazing accommodations. Very thoughtful. Loved our stay.
We love Benjamin’s place. This is the second year in a row we’ve stayed here. He’s an attentive and thoughtful host, the location is great, the place is charming and unique. I know we will want to come back next year!
Very very nice location, 1 min walk to the beach, lovely house, snorkel and game equipment available for the whole family. We had a fantastic stay!
The location is perfect! Snorkeling was amazing. Views Breathtaking. Local food suggestions were great! Recommendation to use jellyfish for car rental was very helpful. When visiting Ishigaki we will stay again.
Yonehara beach is only the beginning. Here’s a quick look at what makes Ishigaki island worth exploring during your stay at Minami Banana — read our full island guide for all the details.
A protected natural park a few steps from the house. You don’t need to go far to enjoy some of the most stunning marine life on the island. Spotting turtle tracks on the sand in the early morning. Snorkelling on the reef during the day. Enjoying a quiet sunset or a starry night on the beach.
Nature is everywhere is Ishigaki. From its lagoon with stunning reef corals to waterfalls and jungle-covered mountains, you will enjoy a wide range of activities, such as diving, beach-hopping, hiking, standup paddle in the mangrove and many more…
Ishigaki is also a hub to explore the Yaeyama archipelago, from picturesque villages in Taketomi to mysterious diving in Yonaguni island.
Cultural activities are a good plan B in case of unfavourable weather.
Yonehara is a small village and you will need a car to fully enjoy the area. This stretch of the coast has a variety of small restaurants and cafes, often with views…. Leading to Kabira which offers more dining options.
You need 25min drive to reach Ishigaki town for supermarkets, convenience stores, don Quijote, shopping and entertainment options.
Our neighbour rents cars and includes airport pickup and drop-off for smooth transfers.
