Hello, I am in love with Japan since a long time ago, and even more since I set foot on Ishigaki island. I live in Hong Kong, and love to spend time here, always exploring the island, upgrading the house, enjoying water sports, or just enjoying time with family and friends. I am happy to welcome guests and share our joy of Ishigaki. The house is managed by a local partner, being a professional support in immediate proximity. Additional services - including car rental, airport pick-up, grocery shopping, tour booking - can be arranged via a local concierge.
