Painushima Ishigaki Airport

✅ Trip Verified | Small, but efficient little island airport. Quite possibly the cleanest terminal building I’ve ever been in, a small team of cleaners were walking around constantly dusting, vacuuming, polishing and looking for any litter the whole time we were there. No fuss, no overly loud announcements, friendly staff, obvious sign posting and a nice selection of shops which had very reasonable prices and unobtrusive sales assistants who didn’t attempt to force anyone into buying things. I really like this airport a lot, the only thing I’d mention is that try to remember it’s a tropical island so be careful where you leave your bags. While waiting outside for the shuttle bus to take us to our rental car centre I saw a huge spider the size of the palm of my hand scurry into someone’s luggage! Probably not the best start to that persons vacation but thankfully we managed to arrive and depart without any extra passengers with us!
