Day 2 - Ishigaki Island

Arrive: Thu 09 July 2026 at 10:00 / Depart: Thu 09 July 2026 at 16:00

The island of Ishigaki is the place that best enhances the colours of the East: blue sea, white sand and black pearls; plunge into a paradise at the court of the ancient samurai. Ishigaki is a city in the southern part of the Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, which consists of several islands, some of which are uninhabited. In 2007, the island was included in the National Park of Iriomote and Ishigaki, which already included the islands of Iriomot, Kuroshima, Taketomi, Kohama and other smaller ones. Ishigaki is famous in Japan for its beautiful beaches and clean sea. It's well worth a visit to the Shinto shrine of Gongen Do, next to the Buddhist temple of Torin Ji, both places rich in history. Situated on the hill behind the port, we find another Shinto shrine, Fuzaki Kannon Do, dedicated to the goddess of mercy. From here you can enjoy a spectacular view of the island. Not to be missed: • The Shinto shrine of Gogen Do and its ancient buildings • Kabira Wan Bay • Fuzaki Kannon Do and its scenic area

Day 3 - Kaohsiung

Day 4 - Keelung, Taiwan

Arrive: Sat 11 July 2026 at 11:00 / Depart: Sat 11 July 2026 at 16:00

Keelung (sometimes called Jilong) is a major port city in the north-eastern part of Taiwan. It borders Taipei County and forms the Taipei-Keelung metropolitan area together with the City and County of Taipei. Nicknamed the Rainy Port for its frequent rain and its important maritime role, the city is Taiwan's second largest seaport (after Kaohsiung). Keelung is currently administered as a provincial city of Taiwan Province in the Republic of China. It has been suggested that the name Keelung was derived from the local mountain whose shape resembles a rooster cage. However, it is more probable that the name was derived from the first inhabitants of the region, like the names of many other Taiwanese cities. Indeed, the area's earliest inhabitants were the Ketagalan people, and Ke-lâng was thus probably derived from Ketagalan.
