Comment
I moved to Okinawa when I was 20 years old. The moment I arrived, what truly captured my heart was the warmth of the people.
The chatty lady who drives the taxi, the elderly man at the gas station who always gives me candy, and the grandmother who insists on giving me sata andagi even when I've said I'm full — these moments of kindness are what make this place feel like home.
I want those who request services from momoto travel to experience the warmest side of this island. I hope this experience will become a reason to return to Ishigaki Island in the future.
As for my favorite drink, it’s a ginger liqueur soda made with Seifuku (a type of awamori from Ishigaki Island).
