Yonehara Camp Bus Line

If you are planning on making the journey from Ishigaki city to Yonehara beach then this is the bus line for you. It also makes a useful stop at Mt.Omoto along the way in addition to the Yonehara palm tree grove.

To clear up any confusion it's worth pointing out that the camp is situated right behind Yonehara beach, so if you want to go to the beach you should get off at this stop even if you don't plan on using the camp.

Although the bus terminates at Kabira it should be noted that the 1000 Yen 5-day pass can not be used on this line. If you simply wish to get to Kabira from the city then the Kabira line which runs along the west of Ishigaki island is a better option.

If you plan on making a trip to Yonehara along with at least one other bus journey during a 5 day period then purchasing the 2000 Yen all-routes pass is highly recommended. As the timetable indicates the trip takes around an hour from the city centre bus terminal.

Note that this is the new timetable effective from October 1st 2009. The route to Yonehara now includes a 27 minute stop-off at the Yaeyama palm tree grove. This is great if you fancy checking out the palm trees, but less than ideal if you just want to get to Yonehara beach. Hopefully the timetable will be revised for the summer 2010 season.
