ANA Intercontinental Ishigaki Resort
Come for luxury, impeccable service, and stunning views across the hotel's pools and gardens to Maesato Beach, and the azure waters beyond. If you're looking for a quiet island getaway with plenty of pampered R&R, you'll be well taken care of. Start the day with sunrise yoga, then treatments at the Spa Agarosa. The adjoining golf course is a good option in winter when mainland Japan is covered in snow.
