— What You Can Expect —

Sabani

Witness the majestic wooden sailing vessel, "Sabani," gracefully gliding across the waters of Okinawa. This remarkable ship relies on fundou (woodworking joints) and bamboo nails instead of iron, creating flexible connections between the timber. With exceptional resilience against ocean swells, the Sabani's ability to navigate the open sea is a rare marvel. While once employed for fishing and cargo transportation, the Sabani gradually faded from use with the advent of modernization.

Hirakubo Peninsula

Discover the scenic Kuura region nestled within the Hirakubo Peninsula, the northernmost point of Ishigaki Island. Serene and untouched by urbanization, this area boasts pristine nature. Uninhabited islands speckle the surrounding seascape, adorned with picturesque beaches and the year-round presence of sea turtles.
